The Supervisory Authority for the Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland (SA-OAG) consists of seven members who supervise the legality, compliance, fitness for purpose, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the activities of the Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland (OAG). Established in 2011, it is independent, determines its own organisation and is directly accountable to the Federal Assembly. The SA-OAG has a permanent secretariat. The main task of this body is to support the authority’s members, who perform this role on a part-time basis. In 2024, the SA-OAG’s functional expenses were CHF 1.38 million. Around 60% of this amount was personnel expenditure, including remuneration for the authority’s members.

The Swiss Federal Audit Office (SFAO) conducted its first-ever audit of the SA-OAG, focusing on the secretariat. The authority’s supervisory activities were not examined, as a bill to amend the legal basis of the OAG and the SA-OAG is currently being drawn up for the attention of the Federal Council.

The audit findings are generally positive. The secretariat’s operating expenses are reasonable, and most procurements are carried out cost-effectively. Nevertheless, the SFAO identified scope for improvement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","audit_category":[81],"audit_type":[51],"class_list":["post-41402","audit","type-audit","status-publish","hentry","audit_category-justice-and-police","audit_type-audit"],"acf":{"audit_lang":null,"audit_numbers":[{"audit_number":"25253"}],"audit_office":[41060],"audit_office_text":"","audit_date":"20260107","bgo":false,"keywords":"","audit_office_local":"AB-BA"},"yoast_head":"\nSecretariat management -
