The Netherlands Court of Audit believes it’s important to know what the effects of public money and government policies are on society. What ideas do people have and what do people expect from the Court? To answer these questions, the Court uses a design approach. Because design is about people.
Conversation
At the DDW we will present projects that illustrate our conversation with society and that were made using a design approach. We will engage visitors in a dialogue. We take a variety of approaches to keep in touch with society. The signals we receive present a clear picture of people’s needs. This helps to select audit topics and amplify the impact of our work. In this way we improve the operation and performance of central government and its associated bodies.

The Accountability Desk
The Court of Audit decides by itself which topics it examines. But its auditors need to know what’s important to the people of the Netherlands. That’s why we created the Accountability Desk. A desk where everyone can take a seat for a good talk and give shape to our audit selection.
