From the Director General's Desk
To make public audit institutions more effective,
accountable, transparent and inclusive, the auditing process
and audit reporting require continuous upgradation. For this,
the skill sets must be redefined and benchmarked against the
latest developments in Information technology and public
service delivery systems.
The International Centre for Information Systems and Audit,
a Centre of Excellence of SAI India, fulfills this capacity
building requirement by offering international training
programmes and bespoke bi-lateral training programmes in
the area of public audit across their full spectrum.
This brochure provides an overview of our training
programmes during the calendar year. Included here are brief
introductions to our training methods and our various
Venkatesh Mohan

have been added to showcase the spirit of the participative
experience of our programmes.
The continuing growing demand of our training programmes demonstrate their relevance, effectiveness
and world class quality. In the last decade, we have trained more than 2000 auditors and other
professionals from various countries. The right balance of basic and advanced topics make our training
programmes inclusive, for both the uninitiated and the experienced.
I look forward to welcoming you here at iCISA.

The Indian Technical and Economic Co-operation (ITEC)
The Indian Technical and Economic Co-operation (ITEC), a flagship capacity building programme of
Ministry of External Affairs has been in existence since 1964. ITEC has been an important vehicle for
sharing knowledge, skills and expertise with the rest of the developing world.
ITEC has acquired a strong brand name in India's global capacity building initiatives. Its scope, which
was essentially bilateral in nature, has now been expanded to include regional and multilateral
organizations such as ASEAN, G-77, G-15, African Union and its regional communities, Caribbean
Community, Commonwealth and IOR-ARC, among others.
ITEC's corollary programmes, the Special Commonwealth Assistance for Africa Programme (SCAAP)
and Technical Co-operation Scheme of Colombo Plan, have also played an important role in providing
technical assistance to developing countries.
Over the last several decades, ITEC/SCAAP
programmes have attracted thousands of
participants from Asia, Africa, Latin America
and Central Europe for training in a diverse
range of subjects at a large number of institutes
across the country. In collaboration with ITEC,
iCISA has been conducting international
training courses in public audit since 1979. ITEC
completed fifty years of its establishment in
2014.

Why Professional Development?
Supreme Audit Institutions work to ensure accountability and transparency in governance in a fast changing
and globally connected world. As modes of public service delivery change with latest developments in ICT,
auditors need to sharpen their skill sets to be able to add value to society and to remain relevant to its needs.
