Meet the IDI Board
IDI's Board is composed of ten members from different supreme audit institutions. Get to know them better in our "Meet the Board" series.
IDI has an exciting and challenging position as strategic advisor and project manager.
The initiative aims to transform a group of SAI auditors into change agents who will develop change strategies for their SAIs and lead a performance or compliance audit in themes related to gender, poverty, disability, ethnicity, age, or migration.
Within the scope of the IDI's Strategy, Performance Measurement, and Reporting (SPMR) initiative, 18 representatives from 9 SAIs gathered in Istanbul to attend the workshop on Strategy Implementation and Reporting.
The objective of the course is to develop capacity for conducting a SAI PMF repeat assessment.
The SAI PMF Team in the IDI has developed a SAI PMF repeat assessment tool kit to provide advice to assessment teams on how to conduct a SAI PMF repeat assessment and how to compare the results of two assessments.
A SAI PMF repeat assessment is a performance assessment conducted by a SAI which has previously assessed its performance using the SAI PMF

The LOTA Scan part related to external environment assessment helps to identify areas where technology audits are required and outlining technology-related audit projects to be included in LOTA Strategy. At the same time, external environment assessment helps to identify the technological needs of SAI for using technology in audits. In turn, the internal environment assessment helps to assess the current state at the SAI and how well SAI responds to the technological needs arising from the external environment.
