THE ‘A’ INITIATIVE Improving accessibility to the pronouncements
Ambition and output
The ambition for this ‘A’ initiative is to digitalize the entire IFPP and to make its content more accessible for SAIs and auditors, thereby allowing them to use the pronouncements more frequently.
The output of this ‘A’ initiative will be a full set of pronouncements that can be accessed in a more interactive way.
Accessibility is a key factor in helping users approach the framework with confidence and use it intuitively. Digitalizing the framework provides us with new opportunities to improve accessibility which can lead to a better understanding and more intensive use of the pronouncements, as well as enabling users to access them in a more interactive way.
To digitalize the framework, we need to develop terminology, update content and consider a more intuitive way to access the pronouncements. Therefore this initiative will be closely linked to the ‘T’ initiative (Developing clear and consistent terminology for the IFPP). In the meantime, improvements will be made to the IFPP website (issai.org) to address some of the challenges identified.
The ‘A’ initiative consists of two sub-initiatives:
- The short-term initiative: update the issai.org website to make it more user-friendly and communicate as clearly as possible the purpose and authority of the different classes of pronouncements as currently defined;
- The longer-term initiative: based on the development of terminology and definitions, and following the other initiatives, digitalize the framework to allow users to access content that suits their needs.
The Core Group, consisting of the Goal Chairs, PFAC, CBC, KSC and PSC, the INTOSAI General Secretariat and FIPP have developed a concept paper describing the scope, approach and outcome of the ‘A’ initiative.
