The heads of the Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) that were members of the Assembly of English-speaking African Supreme Audit Institutions and the Southern African Development Community Organisation of Supreme Audit Institutions resolved on 11 October 2004 to form a new organisation with effect from 1 January 2005, called the African Organisation of English-speaking Supreme Audit Institutions (AFROSAI-E).

Building on our vision, mission and values and to lead by example in good governance, transparency, and accountability, members approved the current version of the Statutes on 19 May 2021 (previous amendments to the Statutes were approved in Mauritius on 10 May 2013).
