​The European Court of Auditors i (ECA) congratulates its Member Kersti Kaljulaid on her election as President of the Republic of Estonia.

The election took place on Monday 3 October 2016 in the Estonian Parliament.

Ms Kaljulaid - who was released from her duties as ECA Member during the electoral process, her tasks being reassigned internally - joined the ECA on 7 May 2004 and was re-appointed in 2010 for a second term. Most recently, she was a Member of the chamber responsible for audits in the area of the sustainable use of natural resource. Previously she also held a number of other posts, including those of Chair of the ECA’s Administrative Committee and Member responsible for the statement of assurance.

The Council of the EU i will shortly take a decision regarding the cessation of Ms Kaljulaid’s term of office as ECA Member. She is expected to be inaugurated as Estonia's President on 10 October 2016, when she will start a five-year term of office.
