XI EUROSAI Congress in Prague 2021

News

04/12/2020 Due to the prevailing COVID-19 pandemic, the EUROSAI Governing Board has approved the suggestion of the Supreme Audit Office of the Czech Republic to divide the XI EUROSAI Congress in two parts:

An institutional part will be held online on 14 and 15 April 2021 and it will encompass two meetings of the EUROSAI Governing Board and the compulsory parts of the Plenary Sessions.
A technical part in a form of a standard conference, with all the workshops, the marketplace, and the rest of the administrative topics, will take place in Prague when face-to-face meetings are possible again.

Despite the hard times, we are very much looking forward to seeing you online in April 2021. Please follow this Congress website for updates and news!

13/11/2020 Dear colleagues, the Governing Board has approved that the XI EUROSAI Congress will be held online due to the pandemic of covid-19. We are looking forward to seeing you at least virtually. More information coming soon. Take care!

19/06/2020 In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, colleagues from @racunskosodisce focused on auditing the purchase of protective and medical equipment by the state. This audit will provide an independent view of the purchases of PPE during the pandemic.

12/06/2020 Tribunal de Contas of Portugal adresses the Covid-19 crisis by adjusting its audit plans. The Court has already issued a first Covid related report on the Identification of risks in the use of public funds during emergencies. See more.

EU Network Audit Initiative to assess the impact of COVID-19 on our societies and economies;
Impact analysis of COVID-19 on the ECA’s work; and
ECA participation in EUROSAI and INTOSAI initiatives.

08/06/2020 @EUauditors revised work programme and prepared new audits related to dealing with COVID 19 in the EU. They also made Knowledge Node the platform for sharing information between ECA auditors. Colleagues from ECA also helped as volunteers.

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?

05/06/2020 EUROSAI must go on! The Secretariat is redoubling efforts to prevent the COVID-19 from slowing down EUROSAI’s activity, offering a virtual tool, supporting our members and coordinating initiatives.

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.

03/06/2020 @NKUSR has also adopted new ways of work. SAI Slovakia has found out how people are helping each other in the COVID times. And who has helped our Slovak colleagues?

03/06/2020 @TurkishSAI will join the EUROSAI Covid-19 Global Pandemic Project Group. SAI Turkey is also planning to revise its audit strategy and its audit plan to conduct audits related to the Covid-19 pandemic.

02/06/2020 Today would have been the second day of the EUROSAI Congress. Instead, we are going to inspire you with activities that will help develop your muscles and lift your spirits: volunteering and supporting people in need.

02/06/2020 @riigikontroll is undertaking two reviews related to the current situation. The focus is on the economic impact of crisis measures and effectiveness of state aid measures for companies. Thank you for sharing information about your work during these difficult times.

02/06/2020 How has the COVID-19 pandemic changed the work of @VTV_fi? New ways of working had to be adopted and SAI Finland has also created a special monitoring group for planning new audits. For more listen to the interview with @tyttiyv

02/06/2020 @Audit_Office_Cy is sharing with us their activities on the fight against COVID-19. They are involved in the COVID-19 Global Pandemic Project Group. SAI Cyprus is also monitoring state aid measures as well as planning audits related to COVID-19.

01/06/2020 Today could have been the first day of the XI EUROSAI Congress but everything is different now. We have decided to spend the three upcoming days with you this way. We are going to show you how we helped to handle the hard times.

01/06/2020 "Good deeds are done in silence", said Viktoras Kriukovas from @LithuaniaSAI. "In an effort to contribute to the national fight against COVID-19 pandemic, staff members of the SAI Lithuania are volunteering, including at mobile coronavirus testing units."

26/05/2020 Dear colleagues, this week could have been the last one before the XI EUROSAI Congress, but everything has changed. Our thoughts are with you. We will not meet this year in person, but we will stay in touch anyway. Stay tuned for 1 June 2020!

13/05/2020 Dear colleagues, as you already know, the XI EUROSAI Congress has been postponed for the next year. The Congress will be held in Prague from 30 May to 3 June. But it doesn´t mean that this year you will not hear from us. We are preparing something special for you!

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.

https://www.eurosai.org

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.
