    Established by the Constitution (article 180), the Court of Audit is a collateral body of Parliament. It exerts an external control on the budgetary, accounting and financial operations of the Federal State, the Communities, the Regions, the public service institutions depending upon them, and the provinces. The control of townships falls outside the scope of the Court of Audit's powers.

    These are more especially defined in its organic law of 29 October 1846, modified several times, which gives the Court of Audit a large independence and a wide autonomy to perform its missions.
