Examples of joint audits
At the eighth meeting of OLACEFS‘ Special Technical Commission on the Environment (COMTEMA), held in April of 2009 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, participants agreed to carry out a cooperative audit to examine the compliance by regional governments with commitments related to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The project involved the SAIs of 9 countries: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, Panama, Paraguay and Peru. The Brazilian Court of Audit coordinated the joint effort owing to its participation in the coordinate international audit on climate change authorized by the WGEA and led by the SAI of Canada.
