The OECD is a global economic forum working with 38 member countries and more than 100 emerging and developing economies to make better policies for better lives. Our mission is to promote policies that will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world. The Organisation provides a unique forum in which governments work together to share experiences on what drives economic, social and environmental change, seeking solutions to common problems.
The Public Governance Directorate (GOV) works to help governments at all levels design and implement strategic, evidence-based and innovative policies to strengthen public governance, respond effectively to diverse and disruptive economic, social and environmental challenges and deliver on government’s commitments to citizens. We provide a forum for policy dialogue and exchange, common standards and principles, comparative international data and analysis to support innovation and reform across the OECD, policy reviews and practical recommendations targeted to the reform priorities of specific governments.
The Public Sector Integrity Division (PSI), within GOV, helps governments design and implement comprehensive integrity and accountability policies and tools to build trust at the national, sub-national and sector levels. PSI also develops standards and guiding principles, facilitates policy dialogue, and generates comparative country data.
The Audit, Internal Control and Risk Management team within PSI assesses existing integrity and internal control frameworks in order to develop evidence-based policies to promote integrity in the public sector, transparency and openness, as well as value for money. The work of this team helps governments to set a solid foundation for an effective and accountable service delivery, in particular, through robust internal control systems, fraud prevention mechanisms, risk management, external audit and internal audit. Staff in the team contribute to thematic studies, work with countries bilaterally or multilaterally to improve their audit and control frameworks and assist to develop communities of auditors and anti-fraud experts for sharing of good practices.
