External evaluation of major studies

Rigsrevisionen’s reports are evaluated every year.

Since 2000, a panel of external experts have evaluated the technical quality of Rigsrevisionen’s reports. The technical evaluation of the 20 reports published in 2023 were all rated satisfactory or very satisfactory

The evaluation of the reports considers whether conclusions appear to be well-founded and balanced and whether the methodology used is appropriate to address the questions raised in the reports.

The external assessments of the technical quality of our reports help us in our efforts to improve future reports. 

The evaluation of the technical quality of the two reports addresses the following questions: 

  • Is the subject and purpose of the report clearly motivated and delimited?
  • Are the conclusions drawn in the individual audits clear?
  • Are the conclusions based on valid and clear arguments?
  • Are the conclusions drawn in balance with the arguments highlighted in the report?
  • What is the overall evaluation of the report?
