The event was organized as part of a new joint project of the Media Institute and the Audit Chamber of the Russian Federation. The Audit Chamber is the parliamentary body responsible for financial control in the Russian Federation. The Audit Chamber's primary objectives are the organization and implementation of controls over the effective use of federal budget funds as well as the audit of the viability and efficiency of reaching strategic goals of the Russian Federation's social and economic growth. The multimedia collab-project is a guidebook on the Audit Chamber, which will allow everyone to learn more about public controlling and auditing in Russia. Representatives of the Audit Chamber gave a tour around the exhibition, dedicated to the history of financial control in Russia. The purpose of the event was to demonstrate how long and hard the audit was changing and transforming since 1016 in order to achieve today's results.
There is an enormous amount of material on display, from documents, newspaper clippings, politically directed magazines to microcalculators and imperial auditor uniforms.
The tour was followed by a face-to-face seminar with Aglaia Kokurina, a lecturer at the HSE School of Finance, in which students were thoroughly explained the principles of auditing activities in specific cases. The visit to the Audit Chamber allowed the students to learn much more about public auditing in order to work on a collab project of the Institute of Media and the Chamber later on.
