SAI PMF Framework

- SAI PMF 2016 Version French
- SAI PMF 2016 Version Arabic
A 2021 version of the framework is now available. This version contains a relabelling and update of references to ensure alignment with the INTOSAI Framework of Professional Pronouncements (IFPP). It is important to note that the content of the indicators, dimensions and criteria are the same compared to the 2016 version of the framework. A few criteria have been rephrased to align with the IFPP, but the content and what you assess is the same. The 2021 version is currently undergoing translations. Until then it is perfectly fine to use the 2016 version.
