Professional Standards
Strategic Goal 2: Professional Standards
In order to perform their duties competently and professionally, Supreme Audit Institutions need an up-to-date framework of professional international standards. The International Organisation of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI) has developed a set of such standards: the International Standards of Supreme Audit Institutions (ISSAIs).
EUROSAI will promote and facilitate their implementation by its members tailored to their respective tasks and needs in the framework of Strategic Goal 2 “Professional Standards” of its Strategic Plan for 2011-2017.
A Goal Team has been set up to achieve this goal.

Key activities
Goal Team 2 is guided by three key implementation strategies.
To raise awareness of the ISSAI and INTOSAI GOV, Goal Team 2 promotes the translation of the standards into Russian (the only EUROSAI working language in which they are not yet available) and provides them on this website. Goal Team 2 also publishes articles in the EUROSAI magazine and provides professional material on this website.
To support EUROSAI members in implementing the ISSAI and INTOSAI GOV, Goal Team 2 has identified the needs of EUROSAI members in implementing these standards. Based on the needs stated Goal Team 2 will organise seminars and workshops to provide advice, share experiences and identify good practices.
To contribute to the further development of the ISSAI and INTOSAI GOV, Goal Team 2 cooperates closely with the INTOSAI PSC and with professional organisations such as the European Confederation of Institutes of Internal Auditors
