Employees
The Court of Audit is well aware that employees are the key to success, thus it particularly focuses on personal and professional growth of its employees by promoting expertise, innovation and motivation. Besides, the Court of Audit fully understands that for maintaining relatively low turnover of employees, it is necessary to provide well-organized and supportive work environment. This considered, two thirds of the employees have been employed at the Court of Audit for more than a decade.
In total, the Court of Audit employs 130 public servants, of those more than two thirds are women. The average age of the Court’s employees is 45 years. For several years, approximately three quarters of all employees have been represented by the auditors. In terms of education and qualifications, somewhat less than two thirds of auditors are graduates in economics, followed by one third of graduates in law, while other profiles represent only a minor share.
However, employment requirements for auditors include among others concluded second cycle within the Bologna Process (Master's degree) which corresponds to previous pre-Bologna university education (university Bachelor's degree graduation). Nevertheless, more than 40% of auditors have higher education qualification than required.
Working at the Court of Audit encourages professional development and acquiring professional competence. The work of an auditor is intellectually demanding since it requires combining different knowledge and skills. This is why the Court of Audit offers auditors additional professional training by organising both in-house and external seminars. However, auditors of the Court of Audit often take the role of lecturers as well.
The Court of Audit also organises and implements trainings for obtaining the title of state auditor.
New employees are recruited through public competitions which are regularly published on the website of the Court of Audit and the website of the Employment Service of Slovenia.
