Together: Empowering SAIs Through Effective, Inclusive, and Ethical HR Governance

Strong institutions start with strong people. In today’s world, where public trust in institutions depends as much on integrity and inclusion as on results, Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) must lead by example in how they govern their own workforce. Ethical, inclusive, and well-managed human resources are not just administrative matters, they are central to an SAI’s credibility, performance, and ability to deliver high-quality audits that make a difference in people’s lives.

The TOGETHER initiative helps SAIs build this foundation. By strengthening human resource management, ethics, and inclusiveness under one integrated framework, TOGETHER supports SAIs in becoming model organisations that embody the values they audit for: fairness, transparency, and accountability.

What is Together?

TOGETHER is IDI’s global initiative supporting SAIs in building effective, ethical, and inclusive human resource (HR) systems. It brings together three critical and interconnected areas of SAI governance Human Resource Management (HRM), Ethics, and Inclusion under one holistic framework for people-centred institutional development.

Since its launch, TOGETHER has equipped SAIs with practical tools, tailored assessments, and targeted interventions that improve HR systems, strengthen ethics controls, and foster inclusive work environments.

By investing in people and culture, SAIs enhance their overall performance and, ultimately, their contribution to better governance and accountability for all.

Why it Matters

Global assessments continue to show gaps in how SAIs manage talent, uphold ethics, and foster gender equality and inclusion.

TOGETHER helps close these gaps by equipping SAIs to lead by example. Through hands-on learning and practical tools, the initiative builds capacity for fairness, integrity, and inclusiveness to take root across all areas of SAI operations.
