Design Audit Studio
The Design Audit Studio has been using design techniques since 2018 to enrich the Netherlands Court of Audit’s audits and make complex information more accessible. A multidisciplinary team of auditors and designers advises on how to create a shared and common image, form effective partnerships and discover new perspectives and operating frameworks.
Visualising and explaining information in concrete terms helps auditors arrive at new insights and understand why stakeholders – members of parliament, ministers, civil servants and other interested parties – require practical and accessible knowledge products. Members of the Design Audit Studio apply established techniques or develop their own methods to meet a project’s requirements and achieve the intended goals.
