Government auditors’ management skills receive a boost

 IMG 1315 v1

Ms Middleby of AusAID with some participants from the region.

The management skills of participating government auditors in the Pacific region have been enhanced through a just completed Pacific Association of Supreme Audit Institutions (PASAI) training course run in Novotel Nadi, Fiji from 8 to 12 April 2013.

The week long training course on management skills in government auditing drew 20 participants from 11 Pacific island states. The course is one part of a four part training program conducted by PASAI, the association of government audit offices, intended to help provide a career path for government auditors in the Pacific region. The four training courses or tiers, as they are labelled, are aimed at providing auditors at all levels with skill-based training in line with their needs and responsibilities at work.

Audit finds opportunities for more sustainable Pacific fishing industry

A cooperative audit report released today identifies opportunities for Pacific island states to improve tuna fishery governance arrangements to help ensure they receive a fairer financial return from the sale of the tuna fishery resource while at the same time promoting the sustainable management of this valuable resource.

The cooperative audit was coordinated by the Pacific Association of Supreme Audit Institutions (PASAI), the official association of government audit offices and similar bodies in the region. It sought to assess the effectiveness of the management of sustainable tuna fisheries within the Exclusive Economic Zones of nine Pacific island states.

Accountability and transparency report 2011
The extent, nature and quality of the accountability and transparency of government auditing operations in 20 countries in the Pacific region is the subject of a new study released today by the Pacific Association of Supreme Audit Institutions (PASAI), the official association of government audit offices and similar bodies in the region.
 
This 2011 study is much broader and more detailed than an original study undertaken in 2009. It provides a useful benchmark for future follow-up work. The study consisted of a questionnaire completed by the heads of government auditing bodies in 20 countries and separate in-depth studies of six countries.
