Major objectives of the European Organisation of Supreme Audit Institutions (EUROSAI) include:

• Promote professional co-operation among SAI members;

• Encourage the exchange of information and documentation;

• Advance the study of public sector audit;

• Stimulate the creation of University Professorships in the subject; and

• Work towards the harmonisation of terminology in the field of audit.

From its very beginning EUROSAI has been active in organizing a fruitful and mutually beneficial cooperation in the field of public audit among all the countries of the previously divided Europe, prioritizing support for the establishment of independent public audit bodies in Central and Eastern European transition countries.

EUROSAI was established in 1990.
