Summary: At a time when society demands full transparency in the use of public resources and to know how they have been used and what has been the impact achieved, the actions of the Spanish External Control System have become fundamental. The Spanish External Control System must take advantage of the experience and expertise in the management of public resources acquired after years of exercising the oversight function, as well as the privileged position of independence conferred on us by our mandate. The introduction of the evaluation approach in the performance audits carried out by the Spanish Court of Auditors makes it possible to incorporate the criteria, methodology, techniques and tools of the evaluation of public programmes and policies, which enrich the work and make it possible to improve the response to the social demand for information. As a practical example, two performance audits with an evaluative approach made in the Court of Auditors are summarised.
