Financial Control Department

The Financial Control Department is the independent body of the Financial Supervision Department of the Canton of Zug, and supports the Cantonal Council in the overall supervision of the state budget, and the Government Council, the directorates, the State Chancellery and the highest cantonal courts in their financial oversight roles (see section 41 of the Financial Budget Act [FHG]).

We are responsible for auditing the entire financial budget of the canton of Zug, especially the internal control systems. All entities under our supervision are obligated to cooperate and report (see § 51 para. 1 FHG).

The independence and autonomy of auditors is legally guaranteed (see section 41 para. 2 FHG). We are certified as ‘audit experts’ by the Federal Audit Oversight Authority. Our auditing practices are guided by the constitution, the law, and generally accepted auditing principles.

The work we do (auditing, verifying, recommending improvements) helps build trust in the cantonal administration. Finally and above all, ensuring the correct and lawful use of state funds is our primary goal.
