Global Performance Audit Unit (GPA Unit), the strategy and performance audit division of The KPI Institute, is proud to announce that the Public Investment Fund (PIF) has successfully achieved the highest level of accreditation: Level 5: Optimized. This follows a comprehensive assessment of PIF’s strategy and performance management system.

“This prestigious recognition highlights PIF’s commitment to excellence in the field of strategy, performance measurement, and performance improvement, complementing and reinforcing PIF mission to support investment opportunities and drive economic transformation in Saudi Arabia. GPA Unit and The KPI Institute remain committed to unlocking organizational potential and empowering entities through rigorous research, expert insights, and innovative capabilities,” said Adrian Brudan, GM of GPA Unit and VP of The KPI Institute.

The accreditation acknowledges PIF’s exceptional performance in:

  • Performance Measurement: Implementing precise and comprehensive Key Performance Indicators that drive informed decision-making and accountability.
  • Performance Improvement: Continuously enhancing processes and practices to achieve superior outcomes and foster a culture of excellence.

GPA Unit conducted the assessments using a comprehensive methodology based on its PMS Maturity Model framework. It involved detailed analysis on over 300 items that reflect industry best practices, designed to gauge the complexity of organizational capabilities in the strategy and performance management field.

PIF is a global investment powerhouse and the world’s most impactful investor, enabling the creation of new sectors and opportunities that will drive the economic development, diversification and transformation of Saudi Arabia and shape the future for the global economy. Actively investing over the long term to maximize sustainable returns, PIF has been the investment partner of choice for global opportunities. PIF’s stability has been recognized by international credit ratings agencies: PIF is rated A1 by Moody’s with a positive outlook and A+ by Fitch with a stable outlook.

PIF’s partnership with GPA Unit is part of PIF’s work in exploring new ways and new perspectives to allow it to carry out its mandate better. GPA Unit’s work assists PIF to allow analysis of where PIF can grow in its performance management practices.

The accomplishment is a testament to PIF’s promising strategy and robust performance management system, as well as the well-established practices that drive PIF’s success and its position as one of the largest and most impactful sovereign wealth funds. The acknowledgment complements and reinforces the recent recognition of PIF as the single most valuable brand among the world’s sovereign wealth funds.
