News

05/06/2020 The new situation has brought a lot of challanges to SAIs. Cooperation and sharing of information are more important then ever before. BIEP offers a platform for our cooperation related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Would you like to know more?

04/06/2020 How has @NAOorguk reacted to the current situation? British colleagues want to focus e.g. on the Government preparedness for the pandemic, the spending on the direct health response and the wider emergency response.

03/06/2020 Each of the three Congress days was to embody the 3Cs - communication, cooperation and comparison. And this vision is still alive. So let´s share and compare how we have changed our work in these difficult times.

03/06/2020 @Rekenkamer is performing activities related to Covid-19 in several areas. SAI is developing special websites, preparing short-term audits and is going to participate in the EUROSAI Covid-19 Project Group.

Vision

About EUROSAI

EUROSAI is the European Organisation of Supreme Audit Institutions. It was established in 1990 and currently has 50 members. In 2017, SAI of Turkey took over 3-year presidency from Netherlands and in 2020, the presidency will be passed to the Czech SAO as a result of successful candidacy in 2017. The objectives of the organisation are to promote professional cooperation among member SAIs and other organisations, to encourage the exchange of information and documentation, or to work towards the harmonisation of terminology in the field of public sector audit.

Vision of the Congress

The main message is "3C-3E-3I". It expresses the goal to provide all participants with easily accessible and usable information for their work. Information they will be able to readily use upon their arrival home. Participation in the Congress should be the impetus for each delegation that desires to instantly propel their work forward to the benefit of citizens in the given country. It is the citizens to whom SAIs should bring added value.

Benchmarking Information Exchange Project

BIEP stands for Benchmarking Information Exchange Project. It's a flexible form of cooperation between Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs). BIEP is a tool that gives encouragement to share ideas and experiences based on the same methodology for a particular area. Compared to other forms of cooperative audits - parallel audit, joint audit and coordinated audit, it is much easier to share data and information within BIEP. BIEP contributes to saving time and audit costs.
