Recognizing the vulnerabilities of mega projects such as budget overruns, inefficiencies, and loss of public trust. MIRA shifts auditing from reactive investigations to preventive auditing, emphasizing early risk detection and mitigation.

By institutionalizing MIRA, Thailand sets a replicable benchmark for Supreme Audit Institutions worldwide, ensuring mega projects deliver public value while adhering to the highest ethical standards.
