International Standards of Supreme Audit Institutions (ISSAIs)

International Standards of Supreme Audit Institutions (ISSAIs) are a set of globally recognized guidelines designed to ensure that national audit organizations (such as government auditors) perform their work effectively, efficiently, and transparently. They provide a common framework for auditing government activities, promoting accountability and trust in public finances. ISSAIs cover principles, procedures, and quality standards, helping audit institutions worldwide align their practices, improve performance, and uphold credible oversight of government spending. In essence, they serve as the professional foundation for audits that safeguard public resources everywhere.
