Professional SAIs.
Credible results. Public trust.

The Capacity Building Committee is the INTOSAI advocate and custodian for SAI capacity development. We facilitate initiatives in support of SAIs and regions building their capacities and enhancing their capabilities.

Ensuring professionalism of SAIs

To optimize the performance of, and trust in, public auditing, SAIs must focus on continuous improvement, competent personnel, professional standards, and ideal work environments. These pillars foster excellence and empower SAIs in fulfilling their mandates.
