Holistic support of IDI for strengthening the role of SAIs in achieving the 2030 agenda

05/02/2025

The UN’s 2030 Agenda is the first global plan to address social challenges through the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this context, Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) play a fundamental role in monitoring public policies, assessing progress, and ensuring the inclusion of the most vulnerable groups. They must also strengthen their transparency and accountability.

To support SAIs in this effort, the INTOSAI Development Initiative (IDI) has implemented various actions, including strengthening governance, developing methodologies for SDG audits, and promoting sustainability audits. In the article published in the Revista Española de Control Interno (#77), written by Eduardo Ruiz Garcia and  Sebastian Gil, IDI Senior Managers, highlights the need for SAIs to deepen their understanding of sustainable development, optimise resource allocation, and enhance collaboration with key stakeholders while maintaining their independence.

El rol de las EFS en la Agenda 2030

La Agenda 2030 de la ONU es el primer plan global para abordar los desafíos sociales a través de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS). En este contexto, las Entidades Fiscalizadoras Superiores (EFS) desempeñan un papel clave en el monitoreo de políticas públicas, la evaluación de avances y la inclusión de grupos vulnerables. También deben mejorar su propia transparencia y rendición de cuentas.

La Iniciativa para el Desarrollo de la INTOSAI (IDI) ha implementado diversas acciones para apoyar a las EFS, incluyendo el fortalecimiento de su gobernanza, el desarrollo de metodologías para auditorías de los ODS y la promoción de auditorías de sostenibilidad. El artículo publicado en la Revista Española de Control Interno #77 escrito por Eduardo Ruiz Garcia y  Sebastian Gil, Gerentes Senior de la IDI, resalta la necesidad de que las EFS profundicen su comprensión sobre el desarrollo sostenible, optimicen la asignación de recursos y fortalezcan la colaboración con actores clave, manteniendo siempre su independencia.
