At the same time, it serves as a laboratory for testing innovative methods and technologies. The DIP has a budget of CHF 7.1 million for 2019. The Swiss Federal Audit Office (SFAO) has examined whether the management of activities, the development process, the management of DIP projects and operations are being carried out properly.
