EUROSAI Strategic Plan 2017-2024
The X Congress, held in Istanbul in May 2017, endorsed the second EUROSAI Strategic Plan (ESP) for the period 2017-2023. This ESP was drafted by the Goal Team 4 “Governance and Communication”, under the leadership of the SAI of the Netherlands (2014-2017 Presidency). After having conducted the mid-term review of the implementation of the ESP, the XI Congress held on-line in April 2021, updated the ESP and extended its time frame.
The ESP 2017-2024 contains EUROSAI’s mission, vision and values and its two Strategic Goals, together with several principles and measures for the Organisation’s enhanced governance and modus operandi. The two strategic goals, each of them led by two co-leaders who work in close cooperation with other EUROSAI members to achieve the desired outcomes, are the following:
- Strategic Goal 1 (SG 1): Supporting effective, innovative and relevant audits by promoting and brokering professional cooperation.
- Co-led by the SAI of Lithuania (Governing Board member) and the SAI of Germany.
- Strategic Goal 2 (SG 2): Helping SAIs deal with new opportunities and challenges by supporting and facilitating their institutional capacity development.
- Co-led by the SAI of Poland (Governing Board member) and the SAI of Sweden.
The Strategic Plan also places special emphasis on an enhanced EUROSAI Governance and Modus Operandi, defining the guiding principles and some key enhancements.
