Field of activity
The supreme audit institutions play a key role in ensuring transparency in public finances and improving the monitoring of government action. As external financial audit institutions, they make a positive contribution towards the efficient and effective use of public funds to provide state services. They are a key element of good financial governance and hence good governance.
In November 2011, a regional organisation of ASEAN supreme audit institutions (ASEANSAI) was founded under the ambit of ASEAN after consultation with the Asian Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (ASOSAI). The organisation aims to promote the exchange of experience and build capacity among the member institutions and hence promote the role and reputation of external financial auditing services in the region. This young organisation is currently still being developed, and its steering structures and planning instruments are still at the draft stage.
The aim of the project is thus to create the necessary conditions to enable effective cooperation between the member institutions and to provide support for these institutions, in particular in Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Viet Nam, within the scope of ASEANSAI. The project is initially scheduled to run for two years to set up the relevant structures. The project will be based at the National Audit Authority of Cambodia and advises ASEANSAI and selected audit institutions in ASEAN states in which, as in Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Viet Nam, there are still considerable shortcomings in technical and institutional capacity. Activities include training and high-level technical, methodological and organisational consultancy. Peer learning approaches and the exchange of experience are important elements in this context.
