Particularly for the period 1993–1996, the Working Group has detected a firm quantitative growth of environmental auditing activities. First, more SAIs have bee active in this field. Second, active SAIs even have bee more active: they have allocated a larger part of their audit resources to his type of work and published more environmental audit reports. Table 1 shows the average figures. However, here are large differences among the institutions. The number of environmental reports varied, for example, from 1 to 36 reports per SAI. For the period 1996–1999, the results are not so easy to interpret. First, the number of SAIs active in the field of environmental auditing did not change much. The position of the ―active group‖ did not remain the same: some SAIs entered, while other SAIs left the group. The amount of time spent on environmental auditing increased slightly. Second, however, the number of audit reports dropped slightly between 1996 and 1999. These figures might reflect a shift from quantity to quality. A signal for this explanation is the shift from regularity to performance auditing that took place during the last 3 years (1994–1996, 20% regularity audits and 44% performance audits。 1997–1999: 16% regularity audits and 54% performance audits). In general, performance audits require more resources. We have to realize that the scope of audits may vary dramatically. In the future, it could be interesting to develop other ways to measure the body of audit work other than just counting time spent and reports published. In 2020, 62 of the responding SAIs provided the Working Group with more detailed information on their work, published since 1997. In 1997–1999, these 62 SAIs published 560 environmental audit reports. Of course these reports reflect a huge body of experience that can be used by other institutions. A bibliography of environmental audit reports is available on the Web site of the INTOSAI Working Group. Here this information is used to give some more insight into the content of the audit work of SAIs. Since 1997, a minority of the environmental audits are regularity audits only (87 of the 560 reports, 16%). Most audits are performance audits (304 of the 560 reports, 54%), or a bination of regularity and performance audits (169 of the 560 reports, 30%). As stated before, performance auditing is a broad concept. In practice, performance audits were very often concentrated on the implementation of environmental programs (264 of the 560 reports, 47%) and on pliance with national environmental laws and regulations 7 by government departments, ministries, and/or other bodies to which the mandate gives access (212 of the 560 reports, 38%). Also, the audit of government environmental management systems was included frequently (156 of the 560 reports, 28%). The following elements got attention in 10 to 20% of the audit reports: the impacts or effects of existing national environmental programs。 the environmental effects of nonenvironmental programs。 the environmental policies。 and pliance with international obligations and mitments by the government. Many performance audits include more than one of the elements mentioned. The environmental policies and programs include a wide range of environmental issues, and so do the audit reports. In the last survey, the most frequently audited issues were internal environmental management by public authorities or departments (162 of 560 reports, 29%), fresh water (131 of 560 reports, 23%), waste (103 of 560 reports, 18%), and nature and recreation (102 of 560 rep
