Implementation of INTOSAI SDP initiatives.
The National Audit Office (NAO) participated in the meeting of the Forum for INTOSAI Professional Pronouncements (FIPP) held in Luxembourg recently.
The meeting, which was attended by Mr. Ahmed Mohamed Buti, Director Regularity Audit at the NAO, discussed the implementation of the Strategic Development Plan (SDP) initiatives for the years 2023-2028 for submission to the Steering Committee of the Professional Standards Committee (PSC) and decided that official invitations would be sent to SAIs to join the teams responsible for implementing these initiatives.
The SDP initiatives include standardizing the terminology used in drafting and translating standards, reclassifying International Organisation of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI) core principles within the framework of professional standards, facilitating access and use of professional standards by members of SAIs, increasing clarity and consistency in the terminology used in the formulation of standards, and revising guidelines within the framework of professional standards.
The NAO has been a FIPP member since January 2020. FIPP is one of INTOSAI’s permanent body with the task to consider and propose how to develop the International Standards for Supreme Audit Institutions (ISSAI) framework to maintain and improve the quality of professional standards and strengthen public sector auditing.
Since 2005, the NAO has also been a member of INTOSAI’s PSC Steering Committee as a representative of the Arab Organization for Supreme Audit Institutions (ARABOSAI).
