2012 compendium of the public internal control systems in the EU Member States

This Compendium provides a structured overview of the various public internal control (PIC) systems currently being applied by the public sector in each of the 27 EU Member States. These are systems primarily used to manage their national funds, both revenues and expenditure, rather than European funds. It is the first time that a comprehensive overview has been produced. It is based on national contributions (mainly from ministries of finance or treasuries). These contributions are not confined to the present situation only; most Member States also provide valuable information on potential future developments.
