1. Supreme Audit Institutions shall audit in accordance with a self-determined programme. The rights of certain public bodies to request a specific audit shall remain unaffected.
  2. Since an audit can rarely be all-inclusive, Supreme Audit Institutions as a rule will find it necessary to use a sampling approach. The samples, however, shall be selected on the basis of a given model and shall be sufficiently numerous to make it possible to judge the quality and regularity of financial management.
  3. Audit methods shall always be adapted to the progress of the sciences and techniques relating to financial management.
  4. It is appropriate for the Supreme Audit Institution to prepare audit manuals as an aid for its auditors.
