New Year’s… Trolling from the Audit Office

The Audit Office has launched a novel and humorous New Year’s post on social media. After the Auditor General Andreas Papakonstantinou went viral with a disguise on a bus, the service published an image of Santa Claus acting as an auditor. This post is a continuation of Mr. Papakonstantinou’s effort to experience the commuting conditions of citizens on public buses in order to better understand the problems they face. His initial appearance in disguise was aimed at drawing attention to these issues. The new post shows that the Audit Office has a sense of humor and seeks to communicate with the public in a more friendly and accessible way. The use of the New Year’s symbol, Santa Claus, combined with the role of the auditor, creates an interesting and inventive image.
