The General Audit Chamber, established in accordance with the constitution of Country Sint Maarten, commenced operations on October 10, 2010. The site was developed by the General Audit Chamber with technical assistance from the local technology firm COMPUTECH. With the public and other stakeholders making more use of electronic media, developing a web presence was a priority for the General Audit Chamber. Funding for the website project, which is part of the larger institutional development initiative for the establishment of High Councils of State, was provided by USONA. The Audit Chamber intends to continue developing the content of the website. Contact information and the location of the General Audit Chamber can be found at www.arsxm.org
