Transparency and accountability NATO spending

Our work as a Supreme Audit Institution is founded on the principle that the use of public means (mostly money) must always be matched by public, democratic controls. The ideal form of public accountability discloses how the government or national and supranational governmental organisations manage public funds responsibly, prudently and economically.
We believe this principle also applies to an organisation such as NATO. However, we are fully aware and understand that some NATO activities do not always tolerate transparency. They are not open to discussion. What we do want to discuss are NATO activities where transparency and accountability are ‘harmless’ and therefore make common sense.
