To fulfil these targets, representatives of IDI and INTOSAI CBC participate in Goal Team 1 meetings giving information about their main activities. For example during the last meeting, CBC presented on INTOSAI Task Group on INTOSAI Auditor Certification and IDI introduced the main findings of the Global Survey . Representative of Goal Team 1, participated in INTOSAI CBC meeting presenting on EUROSAI Region (in 2014) as well as on the Database of relevant information on Capacity building (in 2015). 5. Further steps to be taken Goal Team 1 has had remarkable initiatives in the first half of the strategic period. Innovation booklet, independence seminar, success stories are just a few to name them. Goal Team 1 would like to continue some of these successful initiatives, but also add new ones that meet the main messages of the IXth EUROSAI Congress. That is why Goal Team 1 has added some new tasks to its Operational Plan as follows: • • Developing possible activities to ensure that all EUROSAI members have access to new methods and techniques that may help them in ‘ delivering their message ’. • • Ensure the raising awareness on relevance, role and opportunities and needs of SAIs, as well as practical help on how to proceed with open data . GT1 also would like to strengthen its cooperation with other INTOSAI and EUROSAI organisations, so representatives of IDI, INTOSAI CBC, IT Working group and other Goal teams are regularly invited to participate in Goal Team 1 meetings. In addition, members of Goal Team 1 agreed, besides reporting at the next EUROSAI Congress about the status of the execution of the Operational Plan, it is also indispensable to collect the experience of Goal Team 1 regarding the capacity building activity within EUROSAI. The findings of our efforts are planned to be included in the final report of Goal Team 1 closing the current Strategic plan period.
