Event information

Around the world, Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) are essential to ensuring fiscal transparency, government accountability and establishing strong anti-corruption controls. Protecting the independence of these institutions is vital for advancing rule of law–especially as the WJP Rule of Law Index 2021 indicates that constraints on government powers are declining worldwide.
