Agency for Financial and Public Management

The Agency for Financial and Public Management (Swedish: Statskontoret) is a central government agency under the Ministry of Finance in Sweden. On 1 July 1998, the agency was established as the Swedish Financial Management Agency (Swedish: Ekonomistyrningsverket). However, on 1 January 2026, the former Agency for Public Management was merged into Ekonomistyrningsverket and the agency then changed its name to Statskontoret.

Purpose

The agency works to promote a well-functioning and efficient system of central government administration and sound management of public funds. Its responsibilities include:

Analysing and evaluating central government governance and activities.
Promoting good administrative practice and anti-corruption efforts.
Developing central government financial management and reporting.
Developing the government-wide IT system Hermes.
Producing forecasts for the central government budget and public finances.
Functions as the Swedish national audit authority of EU funds.
