Supporting effective, accountable and inclusive Supreme Audit Institutions

Court of Audit of the Netherlands
Form follows function

The Design Audit Studio (DAS) team uses various forms of interactivity to help auditors increase the impact of our audit work. In this session the DAS team answers the question why they think public audit institutions should adopt the expression ‘form follows function’. A journey with 4 members from the SAI Netherlands’ design studio, starting with the history of design, guides you through examples and concludes with learnings on how you can share knowledge interactively yourself.
