All benefits

Anything but ordinary

We at the Swiss Federal Audit Office are the highest financial supervisory authority of the Confederation. We check whether the administration uses federal funds legally, economically and effectively. We are also the independent contact point of the Confederation for whistleblowing. In this way, we support Parliament and the Federal Council in exercising their supervision over the administration. We not only have extraordinarily exciting tasks, but we are also an extraordinary employer. Because what you do here is important for the Swiss success model. You look closely and ensure that tax money is used effectively. We are an organisation with a clear structure and short communication paths. Here you will meet 140 other bright minds with interesting biographies who work with you on complex projects. Working like this is fun! In small, individually composed teams, we conduct over 150 audits per year. In doing so, we repeatedly break new ground and examine the handling of issues that move Switzerland. In addition to broad expertise and a good general education, a good dose of intuition and curiosity is also required here.
