This global initiative brings together SAI auditors with experts in artificial intelligence (AI) and technology to co-create practical solutions for applying AI and technology in public audit.
The initiative provides a safe space for learning, experimentation, mentorship and collaboration, with a strong focus on inclusion, ethics and real-world application in diverse SAI contexts.
Building on IDI’s commitment to innovation and digital transformation, the AI & Tech in Audit Challenge responds to the growing need for SAIs—particularly in developing contexts—to explore, adapt, and implement emerging technologies. It recognises that successful innovation requires partnerships, diverse expertise and opportunities to learn by doing.
The initiative also includes awards for winning solutions and support for implementing selected innovations in participating SAIs.
Where relevant, SAI heads should nominate interested staff by 15 August 2026.
More details about the Challenge are in IDI’s announcement.
