The Independence of the Supreme Audit Institution: Challenges and Opportunities

The issue of the independence of Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) is back in the spotlight, more than ever before, in the context of complex and intertwined geopolitical, economic and environmental changes and crises.

Role of SAI Morocco in the Fight Against Fraud

Fraud in public management can be defined as the abusive use of power by a person vested with public authority or mandate, to serve their own or private interests.

Morocco’s particular attention to the fight against fraud is reflected in the 2011 Constitution, which has elevated good governance bodies to constitutional status, and enshrined the principles of good governance(1), transparency, accountability and the moralization of public life(2). The protection of these principles has been entrusted to the Court of Audit(3).

A New Handbook Highlights Ways External Audits Can Strengthen Budget Credibility

Recognizing the significance of budget credibility and the demand for further research and practical guidance on this critical topic, over the last two years Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) have collaborated with the Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government of the United Nations Department for Economic and Social Affairs (DPIDG/UNDESA) and the International Budget Partnership (IBP) to develop a handbook for auditors on how their work can contribute to improving budget credibility. The output of this far-reaching effort has been published recently in Strengthening Budget Credibility Through External Audits: A Handbook for Auditors.
