Cooperation of Supreme Audit Institutions within the Framework of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation

The cooperation framework of Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) of the member states, observers, and dialogue partners of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) was established in July 2010 at the initiative of the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation. The purpose of this format is to facilitate the exchange of experience in public-sector auditing, organise joint activities, promote the implementation of international standards (ISSAI, ISA, IPSAS), conduct parallel audits, and respond to contemporary challenges, including financial risks, corruption, and the impacts of climate change.
