Creation

The Regional Court of Accounts for the Rabat–Sale–Kenitra Region was established pursuant to Decree No. 2.02.701 dated January 29, 2003, which set forth the number, names, headquarters, and jurisdictions of the Regional Courts of Accounts. At that time, the Court’s jurisdiction covered the territories of two regions: Rabat–Sale–Zemmour–Zaër and Gharb–Chrarda–Beni Hssen.

Following the merger of the two former regions, the Court now exercises its mandate over a single region, namely Rabat–Sale–Kenitra.
