The Task Force INTOSAI Communication (TFIC) was created during the last International Congress of Supreme Audit Institutions (INCOSAI) of the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI) held in Rio de Janeiro, in November 2022.

Within the scope of INCOSAI, at the 76th meeting of the Governing Board of INTOSAI, held on November 8, 2022, the terms of reference on the task force that is reviewing and updating the institution's communication policy were approved. The work is co-chaired by the Federal Court of Accounts (TCU – Brazil), as the Chair of INTOSAI and by the SAI of Austria in its capacity as the General Secretariat of the INTOSAI.

One of the thematic axes of the TCU as the chair of INTOSAI is to strengthen the Global Voice and, among other things, use communication as a strategic tool. To this end, the Task Force aims to define and build a communication and institutional relations strategy that positions INTOSAI before the international community.

The objectives of the task force are as follows:

  • Review the organization's communication policy;
  • Implement a coordinated and timely flow of communication;
  • Improve the external image of INTOSAI by creating a standardized visual image;
  • Encourage INTOSAI members to share information in a coordinated manner; and
  • Optimize resources to provide accurate, objective and timely information; and
  • Review the presentation of INTOSAI's Global Public Goods with the aim of making them easily available for INTOSAI's members and external stakeholders.

In addition to SAI Brazil and Austria, the Task Force includes SAI Egypt, the INTOSAI Vice-Chair, the INTOSAI Development Initiative (IDI), the general secretariats of INTOSAI Regional Organizations, the chairs of the Goal Committees, the INTOSAI Journal and other SAIs with expertise in the field of communication.
