GUID - 3910 - Central Concepts for Performance Auditing
Summary
The document is largely based upon concepts contained in ISSAI 3000 – Implementation guidelines for Performance Auditing. It gives further details regarding the audit objective, the selection of audit topics and the audit process.
As performance auditing can deal with all facets of the public sector, it would not be possible or appropriate to propose common auditing standards to cover all situations. Therefore, the document focuses on the strategic challenges concerned with the implementation process and the resources needed. It highlights the key features of performance auditing and its importance to SAIs, public administrations and society as a whole.
