Excellence

Diversity
To recruit auditors throughout the country from all spheres of society and from a variety of business sectors, driven by a shared desire to think and act together to defend the country's strategic interests and work to strengthen national cohesion.
Openness to otherness
Opening up to different cultures
Stimulate questioning
Put yourself in a position to go beyond your specific sphere of expertise and put your initial point of view into perspective
Decompartmentalising knowledge
Bringing together worlds that are often separated and usually don't talk to each other.
Share
Encourage the exchange of ideas, the sharing of experience and the pooling of skills
Forging a common defence culture based on shared values
Weaving a network of solid relationships between auditors, united by the same desire for lasting commitment to the service of the country.
Neutrality
To ensure, within the various training sessions and cycles, the conditions for freedom of thought and expression conducive to the development of an informed and contradictory debate on defence and security issues, while ensuring compliance with the rules of loyalty, discretion and neutrality implicit in the military status.
Respect for confidentiality
To demand the confidentiality of the information exchanged, particularly since the lectures given to the audience, whether civilian or military, are subject to the Chatham House Rule.
