Goal Chairs collaboration
9th KSC Steering Committee Meeting
Bali, Indonesia,
August 23-25, 2017

2. Key features Strong collaborative team spirit
Informal, flexible, dynamic, responsive (e.g. INTOSAI cross- cutting priorities)
The role of INTOSAI’s Goal Chairs is to lead INTOSAI’s efforts under the respective goals and thereby assist the Governing Board in implementing INTOSAI’s goals and objectives.
Since 2014 the Chairs of INTOSAI’s Strategic Goals 1, 2 and 3 have collaborated more closely and more regularly in order to support one another to ensure effective coordination of interlinked activities and facilitate achievement of the goals and ambitions of the PSC, CBC and KSC in the interest of INTOSAI. A strong collaborative spirit is the regarded as the secret to the success of this collaboration, plus having an informal approach – it has been agreed that the Goal Collaboration should have a ‘light’ institutional footprint, and take the form of informal engagements, mostly on , telephone or video conference, in order to support the delivery of Goals 1,2 and 3.

3. Cross-cutting Priority 3
Strategic Plan
“Ensuring effective development and coordination among standards setting, capacity development, and knowledge sharing to support SAIs and improve their performance and effectiveness”
As mentioned, the collaboration dates back to before the approval of the new INTOSAI Strategic Plan, including with GC’s participating on Steering Committees.
But new INTOSAI Strategic Plan enhances coordination including coordination between three goals as a cross-cutting priority.

Format for progress reporting: In terms of the new Strategic Plan of INTOSAI there will be a well-structured progress-tracking and reporting process with regard to all strategic objectives and crosscutting priorities. In order to streamline and have meaningful reporting to the Governing Board, we’ve developed a reporting ‘dashboard’ in terms of which each goal chair will report progress on its strategic objectives.
Quality assurance of public goods: In terms of a framework developed by the Goal Chairs to ensure quality non-IFIP documents, the Goal Chairs and IDI will oversee this process for their own products and those of their subcommittees and working groups. Together, they will draw up a workable definition of ‘INTOSAI public goods’ and develop the procedures and templates necessary. “
