Summary:Although the Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) are recognized as one of the pillars in the fight against corruption, there is no knowledge enough about how they conceive their way of acting and how they take in account environmental factors in their planning to combat corruption. Thus, the objective of this study is to understand how this strategy formulation consider per capita income and income inequality (main environmental variables related to corruption). Therefore, we analyzed the strategic plans of 24 State Audit Courts for the year 2015. Through Content Analysis (CA) were identified seven strategic dimensions that were related to income levels and income inequality by Homogeneity Analysis (Homals).
