It is fascinating and fantastic to hear the practical experience and advice from the panel. Two questions: First: Whilst formal independence - whether legal mandate, selection, due process and financial - is crucial, often such DE JURE independence does not translate into independence DE FACTO. In practice, SAIs can be subject to political pressure and interference. How can SAIs, in practice, protect themselves from such interference and maintain de facto independence? Second: External audit is only effective if the executive responds to audit recommendations in a timely manner. This requires the SAI has a strong relationship with the executive, as Pamela emphasized. This is especially important as in many countries there are huge delays in the formal legislative review of audit reports. How, in practice can SAIs maintain their independence, whilst encourage action by the executive?
