The Council of Ministers formalized Wednesday the appointment of Pierre Moscovici to the presidency of the Court of Auditors, thus ending a vacancy of six months at the head of this jurisdiction responsible for controlling the regularity of public accounts. The appointment of Pierre Moscovici, 62, was announced on Saturday by the Élysée Palace. He succeeds Didier Migaud, who left in January to chair the High Authority for the Transparency of Public Life (HATVP).
