Welcome to the United Nations
The World Public Sector Report 2025, “Supreme Audit Institutions and the Sustainable Development Goals”, will be launched on Friday, 30 January 2026, 8:00 – 9:00 (EST) through a Zoom webinar. The World Public Sector Report 2025, published by the United Nations Department of economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) through its Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government, analyzes how supreme audit institutions have emerged as critical partners in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through their audits, SAIs provide governments with evidence-based insights that strengthen accountability and accelerate progress toward inclusive and sustainable development. Since 2016, SAIs have conducted hundreds of SDG-related audits, influencing national policies, laws, and institutional arrangements. These audits have helped embed SDG priorities into governance frameworks and informed strategies for fiscal sustainability, equity, climate resilience, among others. The report highlights the growing role of supreme audit institutions (SAIs) in auditing SDG preparedness, public finance, equity, climate action and other policy areas, and calls for stronger integration of audit findings into policy and planning. The webinar will comprise a presentation of the report, comments by experts, and a discussion.
