INTOSAI Professional Standards Committee

Activities

Analysis of the PSC Survey 

From November 2006 to February 2007 the Professional Standards Committee (PSC) conducted a survey on the needs and priorities of Supreme Audit Institutions (SAI) regarding the future development of professional standards. The Brazilian Court of Audit analysed the results of the survey carried out by the PSC and concluded that it did not bring enough information to allow PAS to define the scope and content of the suplementing guidelines in the area of performance audit.
