Tulisan ini membahas mengenai pengaruh global norms dalam pembentukan ASEANSAI. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk memberikan analisa mengenai bagaimana norma global diadopsi negara dan dibawa dalam membentuk organisasi internasional. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan kerangka analisis norms life-cycle oleh Martha Finnemore dan Kathryn Sikkink (1998). Terdapat tiga tahapan proses bagaimana norma global mampu mempengaruhi negara; norm emergence, norms cascade dan internalization. Dua tahapan awal, norm emergence dan norm cascade terbagi oleh tipping point, yang menggambarkan masa kritis dimana aktor negara mulai mengadopsi norma. Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa norma akuntabilitas dan transparansi mempengaruhi terbentuknya ASEANSAI melalui tiga tahapan. Pada tahapan norm emergence, gagasan dimunculkan oleh norms entrepreneur yakni Indonesia dan Malaysia. Norma mencapai tipping point ketika sepuluh lembaga pemeriksa di ASEAN menyepakati pembentukan ASEANSAI yang ditandai dengan pelaksanaan pertemuan teknis dan pengurusan internal clearance di masing-masing negara. Norma pada akhirnya mencapai tahap internalization, meskipun terdapat hambatan teknis dalam pengurusan internal clearance. Internalisasi ditandai dengan pelaksanaan agreement, deklarasi ASEANSAI.
