#auditorsalliance

The third annual meeting of the Auditors Alliance took place on 24 March 2020 at the OECD Headquarters in Paris, France on the theme: Audit for Innovation.

Innovation of public sector services and systems is needed to keep abreast of challenges. In the eye of the public and auditees, audit is associated with control and is more often seen as a hindrance than as a driver for innovation. But is this a fair representation of internal and external audit in the public sector?

Audit continues to enable learning, both from mistakes and good practices. At the same time, innovation in the public sector needs to take place in a "controlled" way to safeguard the rights of citizens and ensure that governments can deliver.

Here is the public sector innovator’s double-bind: maintaining stability while innovating. How can audit facilitate innovation and create value?

Registration opens on 9 December
