COVID-19 Organisational Responses

Sharing knowledge in and for the INTOSAI community is one of the objectives of the KSC. The KSC Secretariat has collated the information available from various sources namely PFAC, SCEI, IDI, Regional Organisations and individual SAIs websites/documents to put together a single consolidated resource document on the efforts taken by the INTOSAI Community against the COVID-19 pandemic. This document intends to serve the purpose of providing the International community with immediate access and reference on matters related to continuity of operations, remote working, auditing, and capacity building efforts during the pandemic. This approach is in line with SCEI Expert Group\’s recommendation of establishing a high-level database or collection of best practices related to the work of SAIs during the emergency conditions for future reference and to ensure that the existing online resources are preserved and maintained beyond the pandemic. This document on the ‘COVID-19 Pandemic: Organisational Responses within INTOSAI’ attempts to consolidate the best practices adopted by Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) across the world to deal with COVID-19 pandemic. It attempts to inform their audit related initiatives and various COVID-19 related documents on approaches and responses generated by different organs of INTOSAI and external agencies for information, record, and ready reference of the INTOSAI community. We appreciate the tremendous work put in by PFAC, SCEI and IDI in this area. References are provided at separate places in the document, as appropriate, for easy access to the web-based resources Mindful of the fact that the initiatives compiled are not comprehensive, we intend to keep this as a live document to allow for continuous updating based on SAI’s and INTOSAI organ’s feedback and their future actions. Any suggestions or additions may please be intimated to KSC Secretariat at [email protected].
