“Innovating for Impact” is the SAI Innovations theme for 2021 and we thus aim to present experiences of the innovative solutions that SAIs have found to increase the impact of their work, especially in the fields like audit impact, communication, and stakeholder engagement - always keeping in mind that innovations happen everywhere and anywhere and should be fit-for-context.
Why are innovations are needed? How can innovation take place in all environments? Innovations of yesterday may become new ways of working. Some innovations scale, some are replicable, others are not, but could still offer inspiration and food for thought.
You are invited to:
SAI Innovations - Innovating for Impact
The Directorate of Information, Analysis, and Immediate Reaction (SAI Colombia)– Use of technology and citizen participation in fiscal control
10th November 2021 | 15.00 CET (Oslo time)
In this event the DIARI team will share case studies, experiences, and lessons learnt on how analytical models help to detect risks of potential losses, how modern technologies support this process, and how information from various sources might be accessed. These information sources among other include different citizen participation channels, such as citizen complaint application, social media platforms, such as Twitter and other webpages, which can be scraped and analysed with the modern tools.
This presentation demonstrates the SAI Colombia’s model meant to process the information provided by citizens through various channels and to generate alerts. The presentation also provides an insight into the process of analysis and investigation of generated alerts by DIARI teams, as well as the process offollowing-up on the recommendations to ensure good management of money. Case studies included in the presentation will cover among other such projects as large construction projects that may not have been completed in time without SAI Colombia’s intervention, as well as examples on new possibilities provided by use of analytical tools and citizen participation.
We welcome you to hear more about the DIARI’s work!
