Making SAIs count (2015)

DFID and other donors have devoted, and continue to devote, substantial resources to building the capacity of SAIs and supporting wider initiatives within the SAI community. DFID is co-chair of the INTOSAI-Donor Cooperation and has provided funding to help support the INTOSAI-Donor Secretariat. It has also supported the INTOSAI Capacity Building Committee, in particular to encourage closer regional co-operation on such issues as
the audit of tax authorities and encouraging SAIs to develop modern human resource management systems.
This PFM programme information note provides a series of suggestions for ways in which DFID overseas missions can take a more holistic approach to making SAIs count and encourages DFID staff to develop wide ranging partnerships with SAIs and other key stakeholders, including parliaments, civil society and business.
