About PASAI

The Pacific Association of Supreme Audit Institutions (PASAI) is the official association of supreme audit institutions (government Audit Offices and similar organisations, known as SAIs) in the Pacific region. PASAI is one of the regional organisations belonging to the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI). We promote transparent, accountable, effective and efficient use of public sector resources in the Pacific. We contribute to that goal by helping our member SAIs improve the quality of public sector auditing in the Pacific to uniformly high standards. To meet that objective, PASAI’s mandate is to: a) strengthen understanding, co-operation, and co-ordination between its members b) advocate the interests of good governance - including transparency, accountability and the need for strong and independent SAIs - to governments and others in the Pacific region c) build and sustain public auditing capacity across the Pacific by sharing knowledge with, and providing support to, its members d) assist its members to perform their auditing functions, including through co-operative audits and similar activities e) serve as a regional organisation of INTOSAI, in the interests of all SAIs in the Pacific and beyond f) encourage co-operation with other regional organisations and SAIs. We intend to improve transparency and accountability in managing and using public resources in Pacific Island countries. Specifically, we will organise and provide programmes that will (i) enable the public accounts of countries in the Pacific region to be audited in a timely manner to uniformly-high standards; (ii) enhance the impact of audit findings and assist with performance audits; and (iii) raise the capability of SAIs.
