Welcome to issai.org

This is where you will find the complete and updated collection of professional standards and best practice guidelines for public sector auditors, officially authorised and endorsed by the International Organisation of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI). The vast majority of the professional standards and guidelines are available in INTOSAI's five official languages - all ready to be consulted, printed and applied:

The International Standards of Supreme Audit Institutions (ISSAI) stating the basic prerequisites for the proper functioning and professional conduct of Supreme Audit Institutions and the fundamental principles in auditing of public entities.

INTOSAI Guidance for Good Governance (INTOSAI GOV) providing guidance to public authorities on the proper administration of public funds.

INTOSAI took the initiative to have a new framework of professional standards developed back in 2004 and set up a Professional Standards Committee (PSC) to head the work. At this point, the combined efforts of INTOSAI's committees and working groups have resulted in the development of all the professional standards and guidelines presented here, but the website provides access also to various draft versions of planned documents and the titles of documents still in the making.
