5. Performance Indicators for assessment of Strategic Objectives for KSC (Goal 3)
The INTOSAI Strategic Plan for is under finalization and one of the important feature of the Strategic Plan is to enhance accountability for the implementation of the strategic plan.
The Plan requires the Goal Chairs to identify performance indicators for the strategic objectives relating to their Goals and the related annual targets to be achieved.
Discussions on the draft Performance Indicators for KSC with the Working Groups and Task Forces of KSC and consultations with PSC, CBC, IDI, regions and other stakeholders is underway.

6. KPI-Challenges
Several strategies identified in the Strategic Plan to achieve the strategic objectives are new initiatives. As a result, baseline data is not available.
Many of the indicators identified are in the nature of output indicators (like Number of products developed, number of research papers published etc.)
Survey result, though a soft indicator, seems to be the only viable option to measure SAIs satisfaction with KSC work and the usage of products and services offered by KSC. Given the survey fatigue in the INTOSAI community, it was proposed to conduct a triennial survey (first survey in 2019) to ascertain the satisfaction of SAIs.

7. Discussion questions
Is the proposed monitoring framework of KPIs and targets
Too detailed
Should be more comprehensive
Reporting would be resource intensive
Framework focusses largely on outputs with little emphasis on outcomes and impacts
Is this acceptable
How can we report on impacts and outcomes

8. Discussion questions
Should the monitoring framework be used only for monitoring by KSC and should a more condensed report included for GB? If so, what details would be needed for such a report
Does the monitoring framework require collection of additional details? How can we ensure that existing sources are maximized for monitoring?
