| Summary: |
Information and Communication Technologies
have had a significant influence on multiple aspects
of our society over the past decades. The Public
Sector has not been immune to the transformations
that have taken place and, therefore, it has changed
the way public services are provided, the way Public
Administration interacts with citizens, the way
civil servants carry out their daily work, and it has
improved the efficiency and the quality of decisionmaking procedures. In this scenario, External
Audit Institutions cannot ignore the digital
transformation that has taken place in the public
bodies that they will eventually audit, and therefore
they must adopt new audit approaches and use new
technological tools to perform their duties. A few
years ago, the Spanish Court of Audit took the first
steps along this path to digital transformation
which mean that today it has a medium-term
strategy so as to progress taking into account the
challenges that lie ahead in a rapidly changing
environment. This strategy and the profound
transformation that it will eventually bring means
increasing financial and human resources devoted
to different areas affected by the transformation. In
this context, to design and execute a medium term
strategy, that commits to the required investment
and that could have the commitment of both the
Board and the President of the institution, is a key
element in order to overcome future challenges and
to face the threats posed by the digital
transformation process. |
