The Court is also member of several KSC working groups such as the Working Groups on the Value and Benefit of SAIs (WGVBS), on fight against corruption and money laundering (WGFACML), on environmental audit (WGEA), on IT audit (WGITA), on Public Debt (WGPD) and on Big Data (WGBD).

As new First President, I wanted to initiate a new strategic plan for the French Cour des comptes, which would enable us to define new priorities for the next five year, enhance our impact in citizens’ lives and boost our international contributions. I am very grateful to the KSC Chair who has given me the opportunity to share our new strategy on the INTOSAI Community Portal. Our strong involvement in KSC steering committee and in a number of its working groups clearly show how much we value experience sharing between SAIs and I do hope that the methodology and the results of our strategic review will be of some help to other SAIs.
