The PAS Terms of Reference (ToR) was revised in 2018. Following a hearing among PAS members, the draft ToR was formally approved at the 71st INTOSAI Governing Board meeting 15-16 November 2018. The next revision of the ToR should take place in 2024.

Terms of Reference for the Performance Audit Subcommittee:

Mandate

The Professional Standards Committee (PSC) created the Performance Audit Subcommittee (PAS) in September 2005. The INTOSAI Governing Board approved the establishment of the Subcommittee at their 54^th meeting 10-11 November 2005. The approval included the following mandate:

• Disseminate the INTOSAI Implementation Guidelines for Performance Auditing
• Develop standards and guidelines for performance auditing on the basis of the current INTOSAI Implementation Guidelines for Performance Auditing
• Monitor the development and reforms of the public sector and continuously assess the consequences for performance auditing
• Monitor the development of relevant theories, methods, evaluations, etc. at universities and research centres, and continuously assess the relevance for performance audit
• Identify needs among Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) for additional guidance

The overall strategies of the PAS are reported in a triennial work plan, which corresponds with the INCOSAI cycles and is approved by consensus at the first PAS meeting after the INCOSAI. The Terms of Reference of the INTOSAI Professional Standards Committee (PSC) covers in detail the work of its subcommittees (including the PAS) in annex 2, which has been copied and included as annex 1 in this document.

Language

The working language of the subcommittee is English. Meetings are in English only, and communication and documents are developed and circulated in English.

Membership

The Performance Audit Subcommittee currently has 27 members (October 2018): Norway (Chair), Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, European Court of Auditors (ECA), France, Georgia, Germany, Guyana, Hungary, India, Iran, Kiribati, Netherlands, Peru, Qatar, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Slovenia, South Africa, Sweden, Tunisia, United Kingdom, United States of America. Observers are AFROSAI-E, the INTOSAI Development Initiative (IDI), the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) and the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General of Ireland (temporary observer status).

Appointment of new members

Originally, members of the PAS were appointed by the INTOSAI regional working groups (one SAI from each region) and supplemented by other SAIs with special interest and expertise in performance audit. Currently, members may be appointed on request to the Chair. The Chair presupposes that members commit to taking an active role in the work of the subcommittee, and are willing to contribute to tasks in line with the PAS work plan. Since the PAS has many members, regional distribution will influence the Chair`s assessment of new membership applications.   

The Role of the Subcommittee Chair

The Chair is responsible for coordinating all matters related to the Subcommittee, ensuring quality and transparency in its work, and for facilitating internal and external communication. The Chair attends the annual PSC Steering Committee meeting on behalf of the PAS. In case of any new documents produced, the Chair brings those before the Governing Board and INCOSAI for approval, in line with Due Process.

The role of the Subcommittee members

Members of the PAS are expected to take active part in activities and discussions on the development of performance audit standards and implementation in INTOSAI. The Chair expects active members to give feedback in hearings, participate in projects and writing or revision of standards and guidelines, and attend annual meetings. 

Reporting

The Chair reports on PAS activities to the PSC on request and before Governing Board meetings.

PAS members participating in projects and other activities on behalf of the PAS need to report regularly and keep the PAS Chair/Secretariat updated on developments. To be able to coordinate and report on PAS involvement in all INTOSAI projects, the PAS Chair must be kept informed about project status, degree of involvement of PAS members, deadlines, progress and drafts.

Voting

If there is a need to vote over an issue, subcommittee members are entitled to one vote each. Membership is defined by SAI, which means that SAI X = 1 member = 1 vote. All issues will be decided by a simple majority rule. Observers do not have voting rights.

Meetings

PAS` annual meetings are hosted by different SAIs each year. The Chair welcomes initiatives by members to offer to host meetings. Alternatively, the Chair will approach member SAIs directly to request their willingness to host. Ideally, meetings should be distributed geographically to reflect the global nature of PAS.

Funding and arrangements in relation to annual meetings

For annual meetings, members cover their own travel and accommodation expenses and are responsible for making their own travel arrangements (booking hotels, flights and transport). Hosts cover all expenses related to the event itself, including venue, meals (lunches during meeting days, dinner on day 1 of the meeting, coffee breaks). In addition, hosts may cover a welcome drinks reception and a social programme if desired, but such events are at the discretion of the host. Hosts are normally not expected to arrange and cover costs for travelling to and from the airport. Exceptions may be in special cases, such as for security reasons, or if desired by the host. A meeting venue should however be conveniently located to avoid unnecessary travel costs.

Communication between meetings

Besides annual meetings, the subcommittee communicates via email correspondence, the PAS website, video or phone conferences and suitable forms of electronic communication.

Terms of Reference document updates and revision

The PAS Secretariat should update this document regularly and revise it every 6 years. The next revision should be in 2024.

Historical record:

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.

• PSC Survey Analysis

PAS Mini-Survey

In December 2007 and January 2008, the Brazilian Court of Audit sent a mini-survey to all 15 members of the PAS, as well as to the other 59 SAI's which, in the PSC 2007 survey, demonstrated interest in performance audit guidelines. The objective was to to assess the need of supplementary guidelines concerning performance audit phases and techniques.

• Mini-Survey

Analysis of the Mini-Survey

The 2007 PAS mini-survey was responded by 33 SAI's of the 74 adressed. The results of the mini-survey will be presented and discussed during the 2nd PAS meeting, which will be held in Brasilia, Brazil, in May 28-30 2008.
