Recommendations Report: Actionable guidance for improving digital supervision capabilities.

The project particularly highlighted the importance of integrating digital tools (SupTech) for data collection, processing, storage, analysis, reporting, and visualization, as well as reinforcing data protection and cybersecurity aspects.

The meeting concluded with an interactive Q&A session where participants exchanged insights and raised questions. This final gathering fostered enhanced collaboration and knowledge sharing among public institutions and industry representatives regarding digital auditing practices.
