The INTOSAI Working Group on Key National Indicators
Draft Principles for SAIs application Draft Principles for SAIs application of KNIof KNI
The 3rd MeetingApril 7-8, 2010, Astana
Introduction to the principles
Each country is confronted with various socio-economic problems at
different times in their development. INTOSAI recognize that each
country’s development goal requires individual designed KNI.
A development strategy implicates also risks which have to be
reflected in selection and development of KNI.
These principles are generic which means that they are applicable
on different conceptions and models of progress, well-being,
sustainability etc. The character of being nonspecific and general is
important because each individual country has different socio-
economic problems to solve depending on the political stipulated
preferences by the legislative power.2
