SAE Index 2022
Theme:
Sustaining Accountability Reforms for Subnational Development in Nigeria
The objective of SAE Index is to assess the level of transparency and accountability operational in the management of public funds and implementation of public policies in all 36 states of the federation of Nigeria through public audit and key actors in the public audit action cycle. Our aim is to identify areas government institutions at subnational level require support to optimize their public finance management and policy implementation practices, improve existing accountability structures and accelerate development.
In the last eight months, our research team collected, analyzed, and validated data provided by Offices of Accountant-General, Supreme Audit Institutions, Public Accounts Committees and Civil Society Organizations in all 36 States of the Federation. The 2022 SAE Index methodology (with data drawn from the 2021 fiscal year) focused on eight scoring parameters including:
- Audit Legal Framework & Operationalization
- Submission of Annual Activity Report
- Type of Audit Document Published
- Implementation of Audit Recommendations/House Resolutions
- Evidence of Performance Audit
- Availability of Citizens’ Accountability Report
- CS/Media Participation in the Audit Process
- Effectiveness of Public Accounts Committee
The Subnational Audit Efficacy Index 2022 report will be presented on Wednesday 29th March 2023 in Abuja, Nigeria by 10am. We invite you to join us!
