They are part of the EU gravy train - otherwise they would be using external bodies from outside the EU or in the private sector to do it wouldn't they. They sacked Marta Anderson becuause she exposed the corruption of the EU - now they don't even try to hide it. They've even gone so far as to employ convicted criminal Christine La Garde to head up the ECB
Fullfact - the on-line opinion of the establishment they tell you to accept as the truth
It's Jackanory with a silly name

So you are saying the accounts have been signed off for the financial year 2019/19?
And for how many years going back to the sacking of Ms Andersen?

There are UK-based examples too. In 2008, the Canolfan Cywain rural heritage centre opened in Gwynedd, Wales, after it received £900,000 from the EU structural development fund. It ran into financial difficulties in September 2011 and closed a year later.

Each year the ECA audits the EU budget independently and impartially. The Court listens carefully to and takes into account the views of stakeholders in the audit process, such as the European Commission, the European Parliament, and national authorities in member states. However, it does not seek instructions from any of these bodies, nor does it give in to pressure from any of these.
