Eurocontrol is the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation. It is an international organisation working to achieve safe, efficient and environmentally-friendly air traffic management across the European region. Founded in 1960, it currently has 41 member states and is headquartered in Brussels.

The audit board is a standing board of the Eurocontrol Commission and ensures an external audit function.

All its members are independent of the agency, and their scope is to review all agency operations.

For this purpose, members are given full access to the relevant Eurocontrol procedures, decisions and documents. The board reports to the Commission via the provisional council, where the financial management of the route charges system is concerned.
