The Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG) of India is
the Chair of the Supreme Audit Institutions-20 (SAI20) Engagement Group under
the India’s G20 Presidency. The SAI20 Summit will take place in the state of
Goa from 12th to 14th June 2023. CAG of India Shri Girish Chandra Murmu will deliver
the inaugural speech on 12th June 2023.
The delegates from SAI20 member SAIs of G20 countries, Guest
SAIs, Invited SAIs, International Organizations, Engagement Groups and other
invitees would attend the SAI20 Summit. SAIs of Australia, Brazil, Indonesia,
Republic of Korea, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, Bangladesh, Egypt, Mauritius,
Nigeria, Oman, Spain, UAE, Morocco and Poland will be participating in-person.
Under the guiding philosophy for India’s Presidency of G20,
Vasudhaiva Kutumbkam i.e. “One Earth, One Family, and One Future”, the Comptroller
and Auditor General of India had proposed the collaboration of SAI20 Engagement
Group on two priority areas — Blue Economy and Responsible Artificial
Intelligence (AI).
Blue Economy is the Sustainable use of ocean resources for
economic growth, improved livelihoods, and jobs while preserving the health of
our ecosystem. With AI making greater inroads into governance, SAIs must
inevitably prepare themselves for auditing AI based governance systems.
Simultaneously SAIs must look for opportunities to adopt AI into their audit
techniques to increase their effectiveness.
In line with this, during the course of the SAI20 Summit,
SAI India shall present and introduce the Compendiums on Blue Economy and
Responsible AI which has contributions and experience sharing by the SAI20
members and other SAIs to guide future audits on these priority areas. There
shall further be sharing of knowledge and experiences by the eminent panelists
during the insights on Blue Economy and Responsible AI. Importantly, consensus will
be derived on the role and responsibilities of SAI20 Engagement Group, in the
times to come, in fostering accountability in governance and strategically
partnering with the governments to respond to global challenges.
