More SAIs join in evaluating the integrity of their organizations

Within the framework of the projects carried out by the Technical Commission on Good Governance Practices (CTPBG), led by the president of the AGN, Jesús Rodríguez, on March 17 twelve officials of the SAIs of Argentina, Mexico and Puerto Rico virtually addressed the importance of the Integrity Self-Assessment Tool (IntoSAINT) and organized the in-person workshop to be held in Puerto Rico. In attendance were the comptroller of Puerto Rico, Yesmín M. Valdivieso and several of her officials; Juan José Ramírez Gutiérrez and Paola Romero Gorrostieta for the supreme audit institution (SAI) of Mexico and Miriam Insausti, liaison of the CTPBG.

IntoSAINT makes it possible to conduct risk analyses and to evaluate the maturity level of the internal control systems in order to identify measures aimed at strengthening integrity management. This makes it an effective instrument to generate or strengthen an integrity policy in the SAIs.

Two more meetings are already planned with the SAIs of Panama and Venezuela. The implementation of these three workshops, suspended at the time due to COVID-19, would lead the Latin American and Caribbean Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (OLACEFS) to be the first region in the world in which 100% of its SAIs have evaluated the integrity of their organizations.
