During the internship, the CoARM’s representative benefits from a series of presentations, workshops, both in person and online. One of the presentations was preented by the director of Chamber II "Investments for Cohesion, Economic Growth and Inclusion" of ECA, the Chamber where the auditor carries out her internship. The theme of the presentation included topics such as the international evaluation (peer review) of the implementation of the ECA Strategy for 2018-2020, the current ECA Strategy 2021-2025, and the director's experience in his activity.
