INTRODUCTION
The programme aims to outline the features of pension litigation, as well as to summarise the main features of the Italian social security system following the harmonisation process with reference to public pensions through recurring and emerging cases examined by the Court of Auditors.

OBJECTIVES
– To illustrate the scope of the accounting pension jurisdiction (compared to civil litigation in social security and welfare matters), the conduct of pension trials at first instance and on appeal (focus), the role of the Sezioni Riunite and the nomofilactic function.
– Summarise the main features of the Italian social security system following the harmonisation process with reference to public pensions through recurring and emerging cases examined by the Court of Auditors. Recall the categories and concepts acquired while attending the entire Master in Social Security through concrete case studies (as this is the last lesson of the Master).
– Through specific anchorages of the accounting procedural law to the substantive discipline on the subject, identify the instruments for the protection of the pensioner and the possible procedural conduct of the Administration evoked in the pension judgement, grasping its constraints and opportunities.
