About SCEI

Emerging issues need forward-looking audit institutions

The world we are living in changes rapidly. Changes, challenges and other emerging issues are frequently of an international dimension and can take place from one second to the other.

Both the Task Force on Financial Foresight and the Task Force on Strategic Planning have drawn attention to the need to address emerging issues. As a leading international organization, INTOSAI should have a unique and effective body to meet these challenges.

Against this background, the INTOSAI Supervisory Committee on Emerging Issues (SCEI) — which reports under the chairmanship of the INTOSAI Chair directly to the Governing Board — was established at the 63rd Meeting of the INTOSAI Governing Board in Chengdu, China in November 2012.

Scope of the work

The SCEI will provide recommendations on the important issues and emerging challenges faced by INTOSAI and individual SAIs by helping coordinate and support the sharing of knowledge in this regard.

The SCEI shall establish proper mechanisms across INTOSAI’s structures to monitor emerging issues which could impact INTOSAI and its members, and shall duly inform the Governing Board and INTOSAI members of these issues, as appropriate. These issues might include, but are not limited to, financial crisis, major natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunami, infectious diseases, environmental issues and network security, among others.

The SCEI is responsible for leading INTOSAI’s Enterprise Risk Management process. The committee reports to the Governing Board and provides insights and suggestions on emerging issues including enterprise risks. As part of its enterprise risk management leadership efforts, the SCEI will monitor INTOSAI’s crosscutting priorities to ensure that they are being consistently and thoroughly integrated into INTOSAI’s various strategies and programs under its strategic goals.
