The 2019 International Congress of Supreme Audit Institutions (INCOSAI), among its general resolutions, called on SAIs to make better use of Information Technology (IT) in carrying out their mandates, through planning specific IT audits, developing IT analytical skills, and introducing new IT techniques into public auditing practice. 

These new dynamic underscores the relevance of knowing the level of maturity in terms of the use of IT, based on the evaluation of a set of measures or activities implemented by SAIs in order to promote, monitor and maintain specific IT-related activities where such controls or activities are framed within the INTOSAI Framework of Professional Pronouncements (IFPP).

This challenge is considered greater for SAIs in developing and transition countries due to their limited technical, financial and human resources. This is why measuring the degree of maturity becomes as important for SAIs as for Development Partners (DP), whose contribution could be instrumental in supporting the continuous development of the technological capacity of these SAIs.

SAI ITMA provides a method for objectively and transparently assessing the performance of SAIs. It reports on the state of the SAI's institutional capacities concerning technology adoption, including both internal information systems and external information system auditing capabilities. The framework also encompasses areas such as strategic planning, and the technical, budgetary, and human resources aspects that require strengthening. The importance of measuring institutional maturity in IT lies in its ability to provide senior management with an assessment of various elements critical to achieving objectives. This includes productivity, the specific equipment required for tasks, and the suitability of job profiles.

SAI ITMA is a collaborative initiative developed by the Sector Programme “Good Financial Governance” (SP GFG) implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH. We work closely with international partners, including the INTOSAI Development Initiative, the OLACEFS Capacity Building Committee, and AFROSAI-E Secretariat, to provide a comprehensive framework for assessing and improving IT maturity within SAIs.
