Q1 2026- INCOSAI XXV

Within the context of the long-standing journey of the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI), and its role as a unifying international framework that entrenches the professional values of independence and integrity, the convening of the XXV INCOSAI represented a qualitative milestone in the evolution of global public sector auditing. It reaffirmed the ability of Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) to keep pace with the accelerating transformations occurring worldwide, particularly in the financial and economic spheres.

At the 25th International Congress of Supreme Audit Institutions (INCOSAI), delegates focused on a critical issue facing today’s public institutions: understanding the role Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) should play in auditing central banks and government activities during financial and economic crises.

During INCOSAI XXV, deliberations focused on the growing role of artificial intelligence (AI) in shaping the future of public sector auditing. Delegates from Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) around the world convened to examine the opportunities of a technological development that can have far-reaching implications for accountability, governance, and public trust.
