15-06-2011

Report no. 8/2010

The report is about the financial management of the Danish Defence, including its application of the administrative system DeMars and the department's supervision. The report also follows up on the previous report on the Danish Defence's acquisition and implementation of DeMars (report no. 3/2005).

The objective of the study is to examine and assess the financial management of the Danish Defence, including the management tools and processes used by the Defence for planning and prioritization of tasks, allocation of resources and follow-up activities. The report also includes an assessment of whether the implementation of DeMars has resulted in the required strengthening of the financial management of the Defence. Finally, also the role played by the department in respect to the financial management of the Defence and the department's supervision and follow-up on the performance contract, will be examined and assessed.

The report answers the following questions:

  • Has the Defence organised the financial management in a satisfactory manner?
  • Has DeMars strengthened the financial management to the extent expected when it was acquired?
  • Is the department handling the supervision of the financial management of the Defence in a satisfactory manner?

Rigsrevisionen has taken the initiative to the study.
