The results of this survey will be analysed and presented soon. A seminar about “ Methods and Measuring Tools to Audit Ethics ” is being organised to be held in Ankara, Turkey, in 26-27 th November 2015. It will be hosted by TC Sayistay and will gather European SAIs’ representatives and experts from SAIs of other Regions (OLACEFS and AFROSAI-E), from the European Confederation of the Institutes of Internal Auditors (ECIIA) and from the Turkish administration. In this seminar, TFA&E members and other representatives will have the opportunity to exchange and compare their views and approaches, be familiar with the several possible methods to audit and measure ethics controls, learn from the experiences in implementing those methods and, ultimately, discuss and make progress on the structure and content of the common guidelines to be drafted by the TFA&E.
