INTOSAI Development Initiative
Foundation in Norway
The IDI is the INTOSAI body that works across The International Organisation of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI) strategic goal areas and supports SAIs in developing countries, in their efforts to sustainably enhance performance, independence and professionalism. INTOSAI is a non-profit umbrella organization of SAIs across the world. Established in 1953, it currently has 194 regular members and five associate members. The IDI provides support to SAIs by facilitating: - Implementation of international standards, including the ISSAIs - Development of institutional, organisational and professional staff capacities - Knowledge sharing and implementation of good practices - Scaled up and more effective support to SAIs through partnerships with stakeholders - Using a client-centered approach the IDI facilitates SAI development initiatives at global, regional, sub-regional and SAI level; including bilateral support on a needs basis. The IDI also serves as secretariat to the INTOSAI-Donor Cooperation, established in 2010 to enhance the volume and coordination of support for strengthening SAIs in developing countries. Besides delivering capacity development programmes and serving as the secretariat to the INTOSAI-Donor Cooperation, the IDI also serves as an expert and information centre on public sector auditing for donors, SAIs and other stakeholders; and facilitates knowledge sharing in the INTOSAI community. The IDI was established by resolution of the INTOSAI Congress (INCOSAI) in 1986 and was hosted by the SAI of Canada from 1986 to 2000 prior to being hosted by the Office of the Auditor General of Norway (OAGN) since 2001 following approval of the Norwegian Parliament. IDI actively partners in its operations with INTOSAI which has regional groupings and different working groups and task forces on specific areas of SAIs’ operations. The IDI’s target group of beneficiary SAIs includes over 146 developing countries listed on the OECD DAC list for the respective years. As per the IDI Strategic Plan 2014-2018, the IDI also provides support to developed countries on cost recovery basis. Limited Bilateral support is also offered to SAIs from fragile states. Organisation and Governance The IDI Secretariat is based in Oslo and has 36 staff members from 10 nationalities, with some of them operating from INTOSAI regions. The IDI is registered as a Norwegian foundation. The IDI Board is chaired by Auditor General, Norway. There are nine other members from SAIs of Austria (Secretary General of INTOSAI), Norway, Sierra Leone, South Africa(Chair of the INTOSAI Capacity Building Committee), Sweden;jamaica, Portugal and Costa Rica.
