The Riksrevisjonen ( German : Reichsrevision ) is the Norwegian audit office that checks the balance sheets of the state administration. It works on behalf of the Norwegian Parliament in Storting and is based in Oslo . The authority is managed by the so-called Riksrevisor .
history
In 1816 what was then known as the Statsrevisjonen was founded. At that time it was anchored in Paragraph 75k of the Basic Law that the Storting should appoint five auditors. After the Second World War , it lost its influence, as there were initially mainly majority governments and the opposition showed no interest in control and the work of the revision had little effect.
In 1977 a report on the work of the Riksrevisjon was submitted to the Storting. After that the influence of the organization grew again because mainly minority governments were formed and the opposition was able to exert greater influence on their work. From 1990 Bjarne Mørk-Eidem developed the Riksrevisjon further, which led to it taking the central place in the parliamentary administration of the state administration. For example, he introduced press conferences when new reports were published, which led to the findings moving more into the focus of the news.

Organization and tasks
As an institution, the Riksrevisjon is located directly under the Storting Parliament. It represents a central means to enable the Storting to control the government, ministries and other state administrative organizations. Your main task is to uncover errors in the administration and to report them to the store, the administration and the public.
The institution is managed by the so-called Riksrevisor and a college of people who are all appointed by the Storting. It is divided into seven departments: an administrative department, two administrative auditing departments, a support and development department and three accounting auditing departments.
The approximately 450 employees are spread over a total of seven offices: In addition to the headquarters in Oslo, there are six other regional units. In 2018, 217 revisions were published. These are then dealt with in the Storting Control Committee, which then makes a public comment on the matter.
The Court of Auditors has access to all information about the government agencies that it audits. He has already been criticized several times for paying too much attention to details and thus creating an exaggerated fear of making mistakes among state employees.
