Governance Portfolios
The EUROSAI Strategic Plan (ESP) 2017-2024 placed special emphasis on an enhanced EUROSAI Governance and Modus Operandi, defining the guiding principles and some key enhancements. In order to implement these enhancements, that ESP foresaw the establishment of Governance portfolios, to be assumed by individual Governing Board (GB) members and aiming at:
- Strengthening the ‘leadership role’ and engagement of individual Board members.
- Ensuring that the GB as a whole takes responsibility for the operationalisation and implementation of the strategic plan and for strategic decision-making.
- Taking advantage of the expertise and networks of the GB members, thus increasing the resources available for enhancing the governance and operations of EUROSAI.
- Achieving greater balance in the workload of the Secretariat, Presidency and the GB, while not changing the powers or responsibilities vested in them by the EUROSAI regulations.
These Governance Portfolios, together with the Strategic Portfolios set up to implement Strategic Goals 1 and 2, were one of the key enhancements introduced by the ESP 2017-2024 in EUROSAI’s governance.
During its 62nd meeting (held online on 28 May 2024, and chaired by the EUROSAI Presidency, the SAI of Israel) the EUROSAI GB approved that the existing EUROSAI governance portfolios would continue its activity during the new strategic period 2024-2030, as well as the establishment of a new governance portfolio on Inclusiveness.
You can find more information about their establishment, responsibilities and reporting in the EUROSAI General Procedures for the ESP 2017-2024, the validity of which was extended (during the 62nd EUROSAI GB meeting) until the General Procedures for the ESP 2024-2030 are approved by the EUROSAI Governing Board.
