Cour des comptes

The Cour des Comptes is the supreme body for auditing the use of public funds in France. It is independent from the Government and Parliament. It has financial jurisdiction and is in charge of auditing, issuing rulings and certifying the State and Social Security accounts, as well as contributing to the evaluation of public policies. Within the Cour, the data science department provides statistical support to the audit/evaluation teams, especially for (econometric) policy evaluation.
