RSVP to attend launch of PASAI's Accountability and Transparency study report

The PASAI Secretary-General (and Controller and Auditor-General of New Zealand), John Ryan, will launch our fourth study of accountability and transparency issues and risks in the Pacific region with a webinar from 1.30 to 2.30 pm (New Zealand time) on Thursday 18 May 2023.

The webinar will explore the key findings from this study and will feature guest panellists discussing the value civil society organisations (CSOs) bring to the effective function of the public financial management system, and particularly, to the work of supreme audit institutions in the Pacific.

Panellists will talk about ways their organisations complement the work of government integrity agencies and provide examples of actions they have taken.

Panellists include:

  • Arianne Kassman, Chief Executive, Transparency International, Papua New Guinea

  • Emeline Siale Ilolahia, Executive Director, Pacific Islands Association of Non-Governmental Organisations (PIANGO)

  • Satrunino Tewid, PASAI Chair and Public Auditor of Palau

Participation will be encouraged during a question and answer session after these presentations..

If you would like to attend please RSVP to international@oag.parliament.nz by 15 May.

We encourage you to forward this invitation to those you think may be interested in this event.
