Global Project on SAI Independence

The Global Project on SAI Independence

Around the world, the independence of Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) is under threat, and it's not just about laws on paper.

Too often, unclear rules and informal power dynamics hold SAIs back from doing their job: holding governments to account. That’s why IDI launched the Global Project on SAI Independence to shine a light on the real-world barriers institutions face and help change the game. This pioneering effort goes beyond auditors by targeting parliaments, executives, and civil society to develop research, practical principles, and bold advocacy. Together with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and our global partners, we’re building stronger foundations for SAI independence.

“In today’s poly-crisis context, trust is a major issue. Supreme Audit Institutions have a high responsibility as credible institutions and sources of objective evidence to inform public debate, shape policymaking, and influence decision-making.”

János Bertok, Deputy Director for Public Governance, OECD
