ABSTRACT
Strolling along the Lange Voorhout, an avenue of historic splendour bordered by linden trees in the centre of The Hague, the government capital of The Netherlands, an inattentive visitor could be forgiven for missing a small gate next to a sixteenth century church. Few know what is behind the inconspicuous entrance. Yet, there, in a newly built labyrinth of offices, a venerable government institution is located: the Netherlands Court of Audit (NCA).
