Resumen

This paper aims to analyse Supreme Audit Institution (SAIs) initiatives where peer reviews are concerned in order to determine both the extent to which these reviews are used and the underlying reasons why. In order to do so, the regulatory framework for peer reviews is examined as are reviews themselves undertaken between 2011 and 2015. The study highlights the fact that, despite INTOSAI’s efforts to promote such practices among SAIs and the benefits they provide to the institution itself in terms of accountability and greater efficiency, very few SAIs have actually carried out peer reviews and put in place follow-up procedures which guarantee the implementation of recommendations arisingfrom them.
