International Conference on SAI Professionalization

High-level Dialogue organized by INTOSAI and the IDI was held in San Jose, Costa Rica.

Among the participants of the conference are heads of the supreme audit institutions of Latin America and the Caribbean (OLACEFS region).

The main purpose of the meeting was to discuss the professionalization of audit practice and professional development of the auditors. Participants discussed the importance of applying international auditing standards and best practices.

During the discussions, it was emphasized that the only way to increase public confidence in audit institutions is to strictly comply with the regulatory framework.

The meeting concluded with the signing of commitment agreements between IDI and SAIs interested in participating in a project to create quality management systems (SoAQM). This event marks the start of the development and implementation of a holistic quality system based on the revised ISSAI 140, which focuses on a risk-based approach.
