The Finanzkontrolle des Kantons Basel-Stadt is the financial oversight body of the city-state of Basel-Stadt. It is organizationally assigned to the office of the Grand Council (Grosser Rat), making it one of the more parliament-oriented cantonal audit bodies in Switzerland.
It operates professionally independently and autonomously — bound only by the constitution and law — and supports both the Grand Council in its supervisory function over administration and justice, and the Regierungsrat in its supervisory function over the administration.
