SDGs – Auditing the SDGs
AUDITING THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
Recognising the importance of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in improving the lives of citizens, INTOSAI identified the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a strategic priority (Priority 2) in its Strategic Plans 2017–2022 and 2023–2028. Through these plans, INTOSAI called upon member Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) to contribute to the follow-up and review of the SDGs within the context of each nation’s sustainable development efforts and each SAI’s individual mandate.
As part of this global effort, the INTOSAI Development Initiative (IDI) has been supporting SAIs in auditing the SDGs since 2016, through high-quality, high-impact performance audits. So far, IDI and key stakeholders have supported more than 70 SAIs across all INTOSAI regions through performance audits of preparedness for implementation of the SDGs, and performance audits of SDG implementation.
The United Nations General Assembly…
“… recognizes the important role of supreme audit institutions in promoting the efficiency, accountability, effectiveness and transparency of public administration, which is conducive to the achievement of national development objectives and priorities as well as the Sustainable Development Goals.”
