In 2019 the Cour des comptes audited the management of the National Employment Agency for the 2012-2018 period. This public administrative establishment, created at the end of 2008 through the merger of the ANPE and Assédic, is responsible for receiving, informing, guiding, supporting and compensating job seekers. The enquiries were completed in November 2019 and focused on strategy and governance, management of human and financial resources, and the institution’s performance approach.
The Cour des comptes’ work therefore does not take into account the measures implemented by the public authorities under Emergency Act No 2020-290 of 23 March 2020 to handle the Covid-19 epidemic, including those provided for by Order No 2020-324 of 25 March 2020 on emergency measures for replacement income mentioned in Article L 5421-2 of the Labour Code.
