ABOUT THE
INSTITUTE
The Southern African Institute of Government Auditors is an
association established in terms of its
Constitution.
The
Southern African Institute of Government Auditors was founded on 27 July 1988.
The
objectives
of the Institute are broadly defined and encompass the promotion of the members'
interests by advancing
accountability
and
auditing.
Since the principles of
government auditing
are based on the generic principles of auditing, the Institute strives to
promote auditing in its wider context.
The Southern African Institute of Government Auditors is not a trade
association, but it promotes its members interests by focusing on the
advancement of the disciplines of accountability and auditing.
Members of
the Southern African Institute of Government Auditors uphold the
INTOSAI Code of Ethics for Public Sector Auditors.
The
Coat of Arms
of the Institute reflects SAIGA's
values and activities.
