In addition, the central tasks of the audit board include the organization of the HUS Group financial and administrative audit (including the auditing of accounts) and the monitoring of declarations of interest submitted by elected officials and office holders. Each year, the audit board submits an evaluation report to the General Meeting, where the results of the evaluation for the previous year are published and recommendations are made for the development of activities. In addition to the achieving of binding financial targets and strategic key objectives, the board will also evaluate other topics it considers important. Pursuant to Act on Wellbeing services county ([section 129](https://www.finlex.fi/fi/laki/ajantasa/2021/20210611#O4L14P129), in Finnish), the audit board has an extensive right of access to information, which means that the board has the right to obtain any information and documents from the authorities of the wellbeing services county that it deems necessary for the performance of the evaluation task. ### Evaluation report The audit board 's evaluation reports have been published on [www.arviointikertomushus.fi](https://arviointikertomushus.fi/) -website.
