The purpose of the study is to assess whether the ministries have a strategic approach to using external consultants.
It is Rigsrevisionen’s assessment that the majority of the ministries have a strategic approach to using external consultants. In the cases examined, the five selected ministries had all stated their reasons for using external consultants. However, Rigsrevisionen does not consider it entirely satisfactory that the five ministries were unable to provide documentation for the reasons stated in all the examined cases. The consequence of the inadequate documentation is that later on the ministries will be unable to ascertain whether the purchases made were effective and efficient.
The study was initiated in February 2022 at the request of the Danish Public Accounts Committee.
