Regional courts of accounts

Presentation

In accordance with the provisions of article 149 of the Constitution, the Regional Courts of Audit (RCAs) are responsible for ensuring the control of the accounts and the management of the regions and other local authorities and their groups.

The creation of the RCAs is part of the process of strengthening the decentralization and deconcentration policy carried out by our country, policy which assigns an increasingly important role to local authorities in the management of public affairs.

The missions of the Regional Courts of Accounts at the local level are an extension of those of the Court at the national level. Thus, the powers of the Court and the RCAs are complementary and the competences, procedures and organization are broadly similar.
