This issue of ANSA EAP’s Practice Brief examines the different audit tools and methodologies used by partner citizen groups during pilot runs of the Citizen Participatory Audit (CPA) Project. CPA is a two – year initiative of ANSA EAP, in collaboration with the Commission on Audit (COA) in the Philippines, which aims to institutionalize public audit practices involving citizens and civil society or ganizations. The CPA experience points to the potentials of such citizen audit approaches, previously developed by citizen groups for their own monitoring of government performance, to enhance the existing audit procedures of supreme audit institutions (SAIs) like COA.
