Welcome to the site of the EUROSAI Information Technology Working Group
Since the launch of the EUROSAI IT Working Group by the European Association of Supreme Audit Institutions (EUROSAI) in May 2002, we have witnessed rapid developments in the use of information and communication technologies. Thus, it remains important now and in future for the Supreme Audit Institutions (SAI) to reinforce their cooperation, both in terms of their mandate to audit the regularity, efficiency and effectiveness of state expenditure and policies, and in terms of the tools and networks available for carrying out audits.
At its tri-annual Congress held in Kraków in June 2008, the EUROSAI approved the handover of the chair of the EUROSAI IT Working Group from the Netherlands to Switzerland. As the new chairperson it is my pleasure to welcome you to this website which aims to inform you about the activities and projects of the IT Working Group. We have retained the domain www.eurosai-it.org and most of its content. Layout and functionality have somewhat changed.
The EUROSAI IT Working Group includes currently 30 European national Supreme Audit Institutions and the European Court of Auditors. The aim of the working group is to facilitate the sharing of expertise an experiences between SAIs and to encourage the implementation of joint activities in the field of information technology. The working group coordinates its activities with those of the Standing Committee on IT Auidt of the world organisation, the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI).
Please feel free to mail comments and suggestions on both the content of this website and the activities of the IT Working Group.
Chairperson of the Working Group
and President of the Swiss Federal Audit Office
