Independence Resource Kit

The first of PASAI’s five Strategic Priorities is to strengthen SAI independence.

This kit enables PASAI members to:

• understand the principles underpinning SAI independence and

• access resources and information to establish, enhance or preserve their independence.

Follow the flowchart on the right to navigate the route to independence from world-wide imperatives to practical applications within the SAI.

Topics and tools included in the resource kit are:

• United Nations and CHOGM resolutions

• INTOSAI guidance on independence

• The 8 Pillars of SAI Independence (INTOSAI-P 10)

• Being a model organisation through independence

• Staff ethics and independence

• SAI shared experiences

• SAI legislation

• Self-assessing independence

• Planning for independence

• Understanding and responding to threats to independence

PASAI will update the kit to reflect developments in SAI independence, both in the Pacific and globally. There is also a PDF version of the kit.
