Regular audits of government debt management activities, policies and operations help strengthen accountability and public debt management. Stronger cooperation between debt managers and external auditors, such as supreme audit institutions (SAI), can contribute to greater effectiveness of government debt management operations and support to promote transparency of borrowing and related debt management activities.
This webinar, jointly organized between the World Bank and the INTOSAI Working Group on Public Debt, discusses the importance and the types of the external audits of government debt management. Highlighting the potential cooperation between the Debt Management Offices and SAIs, it identified key challenges in undertaking debt management audits and discussed how these could be overcome.
