Strategic Plan

The PFAC monitors the implementation of the four goals and five cross-cutting priorities of the INTOSAI 2017-2022 Strategic Plan, which includes a performance assessment process to gauge INTOSAI's progress as it moves forward and implements the strategic objectives specified for each strategic goal. INTOSAI set performance benchmarks and measures for each of its strategic objectives and will publicly report each year on progress toward those objectives.

Professional Standards

Strategic Objectives:

1.1 Provide a strong organizational framework to support INTOSAI's standard setting including a permanent standard-setting board (the FIPP), a technical- support function, and an independent advisory function.

1.4 Work toward and ensure the continued development and maintenance of the INTOSAI Framework of Professional Pronouncements.
