About
The Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) of the Turkic states decided at a meeting held in Istanbul on November 22, 2025 to establish the Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions of the Member States of the Organization of Turkic States (TURKSAI) with the aim of formalizing the cooperation between these SAIs and ensuring its sustainability. The Establishment Declaration of TURKSAI, which formalizes the structure of the organization, was signed by the heads of the SAIs of Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Türkiye, and Uzbekistan. Furthermore, Türkiye was chosen to hold the first Presidency of TURKSAI for a three-year term by the collective agreement of the heads of the SAIs.
In this context, the following have been established as the common objectives of TURKSAI:
- Strengthening the institutional capacity of the Turkic World, as well as enhancing transparency and accountability in financial management;
- Promoting a modern approach to auditing and ensuring the optimal use of technology in audit processes.
To this end, it has been decided to establish joint working groups on various topics aimed at fostering the institutionalization and increasing the efficiency of TURKSAI. Also, it has been agreed to regularly conduct joint training programs and conferences in areas such as artificial intelligence, big data analytics, information systems auditing, and the auditing of agricultural production and resource utilization.
At a ceremony hosted by the TCA in Antalya on October 24, 2026, the heads of the member SAIs of TURKSAI gathered to sign the TURKSAI Statute. The Statute established the legal framework for the organization and marked the official commencement of its operations. Following the ceremony, the TURKSAI Strategic Plan for 2027–2029 was adopted. On the same day, a symposium on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) was also held, featuring broad participation from the academic community and professionals from various SAIs. Within this framework, it is envisioned that member SAIs will share professional knowledge and experience, and conduct joint audits under the auspices of TURKSAI.
Furthermore, the “Knowledge and Experience Sharing Program on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)”—which served as the first event held following the organization’s establishment—took place in Antalya from October 19 to 23, 2026.
