INTOSAI Development Initiative

Objet publié

This project represents CIDA's institutional support to the International Organisation of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI) Development Initiative (IDI). The IDI uses these funds, along with other donors' funding, to achieve its mandate. The IDI is a non-profit organisation with the mandate to build the capacities of the staff of supreme audit institutions (SAIs) in developing countries. Its main functions include organizing and delivering training for supervisory staff; facilitating the application of professional guidance; facilitating the implementation of audit systems, procedures, and support services in line with best practices; and developing an effective knowledge management system. The IDI regards building the capacities of SAI staff as a fundamental and necessary ingredient for the attainment of increased transparency and greater accountability in the public sector, objectives which are globally accepted as vital to the achievement of good governance.
