Conférence : La cours des comptes, juridiction financière ou institution politique ?

Created by Napoleon, this institution has long been confined to an essentially jurisdictional role: sanctioning irregular use of public funds by State accountants. But new powers acquired during the Fifth Republic are likely to lead to a "politicization" of its role. Lecture given by Monique DOREAU TRANQUARD, Honorary Lecturer in Public Law at the University of Poitiers.
