Despite a lower deficit and fewer extraordinary expenses than in previous years, the federal budget continues to face challenges. One-off effects are becoming everyday occurrences. As a result, the economic efficiency of subsidies and the efficiency of digital transformation projects not only remain the order of the day, but were also recognised as overarching topics in two summary reports and addressed with forward-looking conclusions.<br><br>Other focal points of the annual report include the numerous audits of selected key projects of the Federal Administration and IT projects with major implications for internal and external stakeholders. Audit findings concerning sustainability \u2013 such as the effectiveness of support measures for decarbonisation \u2013 also form a focus area. At a time characterised by uncertainty and unpredictability, it is important to &#8220;keep an eye on the bigger picture&#8221;, as SFAO Director Pascal Stirnimann writes in the foreword.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-264","report","type-report","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.6 (Yoast SEO v27.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Keeping an eye on the bigger picture - Eidgen\u00f6ssische Finanzkontrolle (EFK)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.efk.admin.ch\/en\/jahresberichte\/annual-report\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Keeping an eye on the bigger picture\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"In addition to numerous audit findings, the annual report of the Swiss Federal Audit Office (SFAO) contains two summary reports on the overarching topics of subsidies and digital transformation.
