Brazil’s performance as chair of INTOSAI 

As chair of INTOSAI, the Brazilian Court of Accounts is working on strengthening supreme audit institutions around the world. With this in mind, the institution is working to further enhance communication of values, results, and impacts of the work of its members, in addition to increasing the communication with international organizations, academia, and society.  

Brazil also seeks to encourage the adoption of administrative sustainability policies in public institutions; promote equity, inclusion, and diversity; and keep oversight institutions alert to emerging global challenges. 

ClimateScanner 

Energy and environmental sustainability are other priorities of the Brazilian presidency at INTOSAI. In that respect, President Bruno Dantas updated the Secretary General on the ClimateScanner initiative. 

The main goal of the project is to develop a methodology to allow SAIs and governments a tool to quickly assess government actions related to climate change. Consolidation of these assessments will also enable a broad view of actions to fight global warming. The initiative is coordinated by SAI Brazil as chair of INTOSAI in partnership with the INTOSAI Working Group on Environmental Auditing (WGEA).
