Measuring supreme audit institutions’ outcomes: current literature and future insights

Abstract

Supreme audit institutions (SAIs) oversee the use of public resources and ensure accountability and, as such, they are very important for public sector reform. The author reviews the recent academic literature on how to measure SAIs’ results. Prior research was found to focus on performance auditing, rather than financial auditing. The authors rarely used quantitative indicators, but rather descriptive indicators or even anecdotes. Ways forward for researchers and SAIs are recommended.
