EUROSAI 58 EUROSAI Working Groups and Task Forces Expectations in the future Currently, the TFMA has a total of 12 various activities and accounts for about one-third of all SG1 activities. Some of them are continuous and permanent tasks of the Task Force; the others have clearly defined results and deadlines. These include the project “Collecting and systemizing data on the manner/methods of monitoring the implementation of the recommendations given in the audit reports for local self-government units”. The results of this project will be available in the report already. Another project “Collecting and analysing information on the implementation of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals in the municipalities of the TFMA countries” will be completed in the middle of 2022. The UN became actively involved in this project and have already organised two awareness sessions for TFMA members in 2021. It is planned to continue those sessions, and to develop, as a main outcome, a tool for auditing SDGs in municipalities together with the UN. Until the end of 2023, it is planned to conduct a cooperative audit “Municipalities’ Own Revenues for Providing Quality Services to the Citizens During Pandemic”. The individual audit reports of the participating SAIs are scheduled to be published by the end of 2022. In parallel, the TFMA contribute to the management of emergency of the COVID-19 pandemic at a local level as well as to municipal debt management in TFMA countries, facilitate communication between EUROSAI TFMA, European Organisation of Regional Audit Institutions (EURORAI) and the Nordic Network for Public Sector Internal Auditors (NORPIA), organize expert meetings on the basis of members needs on municipality audit and update database about the main municipal data/expenses annually. In these times of rapidly changing information, the TFMA is also looking for new ways to facilitate professional collaboration and planning a new facility to accelerate the sharing of information related to municipal audits. This is already reflected in the plans and is expected to become a reality soon.
