The effective strategic management of Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) is essential for fostering accountability, inclusion, and public trust. By enhancing governance and service delivery, SAIs bring tangible value to citizens. Since 2018, the Strategic Management, Performance Measurement, and Reporting (SPMR) initiative, led by the INTOSAI Development Initiative (IDI) and supported by the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO), has helped over 50 participating SAIs achieve significant progress in their strategic management.
The SPMR initiative assists SAIs in conducting comprehensive performance evaluations through the SAI Performance Measurement Framework (PMF), developing needs-based strategic plans, and utilising tools like operational plans, monitoring systems, and risk management frameworks. This fourth round of the initiative for OLACEFS kicks off with a high-level workshop in Panama City, designed for SAI leadership and senior management. The workshop aims to provide a broad understanding of key topics, methodologies, and the role of leadership in driving the initiative.
During the workshop, participants engaged in focused discussions and group reflections to identify challenges specific to their SAIs and to exchange experiences. Teams worked closely with IDI specialists to finalise work plans for 2024 and 2025.
Key outcomes from the workshop include:
- Identification of the main strategic management needs and challenges of SAIs.
- Clear understanding of the role of SAI leadership in the SPMR initiative.
- Agreement on the process, methodology, and approach of the SPMR.
- Sharing of experiences and best practices across SAIs.
- Development of an activity plan for 2024/2025.
