Kurt Langbein and Bert Ehgartner use the 250th anniversary of the Austrian Court of Audit as an opportunity to showcase the abilities and limits of the officials fighting corruption and squandering. 250 years after empress Maria Theresia founded the "Hofrechencammer" to overlook her empire's finances, the court now employs 300 civil servants to ensure thrift, expediency and transparency in state spending. Josef Moser, president of the court criticizes shot comings, such as the limited jurisdiction the court has over large concerns like Telekom, whose majority does not belong to the state any longer.
