Press Release – November 25, 2013
On November 21–22, 2013, the 3rd meeting of the EUROSAI Goal Team 3: Knowledge Sharing took place in Karlovy Vary, CR. The Team aims at enhancing the co-operation and exchanging the experience of EUROSAI members with INTOSAI and external partners.
Within the Team’s work, the Supreme Audit Office (SAO) focuses on improvements to the availability of outcomes of individual SAIs as well as EUROSAI and INTOSAI working groups, which my serve as information sources for EUROSAI members in their every-day work. As followed from the auditors’ experience, there are great possibilities for improvements in this area. The EUROSAI gathers a lot of high-quality information, which is not effectively transferred or shared among its members. Aside from traditional seminars and training activities, the defined goal should be achieved through the development of databases of auditing and EUROSAI products, which can concentrate pieces of information at one place. This way it will be possible to limit the amounts of distributed questionnaires in the future.
On the 3rd meeting of the Team, the attendees discussed preparations of EUROSAI databases and marketing activities, which aim at better propagation of outcomes of EUROSAI and INTOSAI members. At the meeting, attendees approved a presentation for introductory training of new employees of SAIs, which contains data about available information sources within the EUROSAI. Training events planned for the year 2014 were also agreed upon.
Apart from the SAO, representatives from SAIs of Belgium, Estonia, Lithuania, Hungary, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Austria, Spain, and Ukraine were among the attendees to the meeting.
