In the aftermath of the 2004 tsunami, INTOSAI set up a task force to establish an audit trail for tsunami-related aid. With $13 billion pledged and 56 countries and a multitude of aid organizations involved, this proved to be virtually impossible for the task force. In November 2007, INTOSAI decided to broaden the scope of the task force to disaster-related aid in general and transform it into a formal working group. The working group is aware that time and cart will be required before accountability in this area improves and that SAIs and auditors in general have only limited influence. Nevertheless, auditors can make a difference in many different ways. They can: 1. influence donors to improve the transparency and accountability of humanitarian operations, 2. provide tools that organi...

The Regulatory Flexibility Act requires that agencies publish semiannual regulatory agendas in the Federal Register describing regulatory actions they are developing that may have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities (5 U.S.C. 602). Executive Order 12866 ``Regulatory Planning and Review,'' signed September 30, 1993 (58 FR 51735), and Office of Management and Budget memoranda implementing section 4 of that Order establish minimum standards for agencies' agendas, including specific types of information for each entry. The Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions (Unified Agenda) helps agencies fulfill these requirements. All Federal regulatory agencies have chosen to publish their regulatory agendas as part of the Unified Agenda. Edi...
