The United Nations Board of Auditors (BoA) was established in 1946 by the General Assembly and is comprised of the Heads of the Supreme Audit Institutions from three Member States. The Board certifies the UN accounts, its funds and programmes (including UNDP), and provides reports covering a wide array of financial, managerial and value-for-money audits. The overarching goal of the Board is to use the unique perspective of public external audit to both aid the General Assembly in holding UN entities accountable for the use of public resources, and add value by identifying ways to improve the delivery of international public services.
