It is 150 years since the creation of the Intervención General de la Administración del Estado (IGAE). Since its establishment in 1874, this institution has played a fundamental role in financial control and government transparency.
The IGAE was born with the purpose of safeguarding public funds and ensuring their proper use. Throughout its history, it has evolved to adapt to changes in the administrative and technological landscape, always maintaining its commitment to integrity and efficiency in the management of state resources.
One of the fundamental pillars of the IGAE is its audit work, which consists of the exhaustive review of the accounts and the evaluation of the legality and regularity of the acts of economic and financial management. This process ensures accountability and strengthens citizens' confidence in public institutions.
In addition to its auditing function, the IGAE also plays an active role in the modernization of public management. Through the implementation of internal control systems and the promotion of best practices, it contributes to improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the administration, ensuring that resources are used optimally for the benefit of society.
In the current context, marked by digitalization and globalization, the IGAE faces new challenges and opportunities. The increasing complexity of public management requires greater specialization and adaptability, as well as the use of innovative technological tools to ensure transparency and integrity in all phases of the administrative process.
Throughout its history, it has demonstrated its ability to remain at the forefront of public administration, adapting to changes and responding to the needs of society. Its commitment to transparency, efficiency and integrity continues to be fundamental to strengthening the rule of law and promoting the common good.
