PRINCIPLE 6: Communicating effectively with stakeholders
- SAIs should communicate in a manner that increases stakeholders’ knowledge and understanding of the role and responsibilities of the SAI as an independent auditor of the public sector.
- SAIs’ communication should contribute to stakeholders’ awareness of the need for transparency and accountability in the public sector.
- SAIs should communicate with stakeholders to ensure understanding of the SAI’s audit work and results.
- SAIs should interact appropriately with the media in order to facilitate communication with the citizens.1
- SAIs should engage with stakeholders, recognising their different roles, and consider their views, without compromising the SAI’s independence.
- SAIs should periodically assess whether stakeholders believe the SAI is communicating effectively.
