Follow-up audit on the implementation of key recommendations: funding linked to innovations and projects for vocational training
Bern, 11.11.2026 — The State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI) is the Confederation’s specialised agency for national and international issues in its field. In particular, it supports innovation and vocational training projects.
In 2022 the Swiss Federal Audit Office (SFAO) conducted an audit of how this funding is granted. It examined whether the funding was justified and effective. The SFAO issued four main recommendations, one at the highest level of priority.
The SFAO therefore conducted a follow-up audit on the implementation of these key recommendations. It concluded that SERI has implemented the four recommendations.
