Abstract

The implementation of all the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) requires sustainable energy production and consumption; hence the issue of energy accountability is vital. There are several studies on the activities of supreme audit institutions (SAIs); however, the research question - what is the role of SAIs in energy accountability is still without an answer. Meanwhile, SAIs, as critical public auditors have to evaluate how do governments deal with energy issues, helping not only spend money sparingly but also in an accountable manner.
