The Asian Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (ASOSAI) Assembly is a key gathering of audit institutions from across Asia. It serves as a platform for Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) in the region to collaborate, exchange knowledge, and discuss important topics related to public sector auditing.
Here are the main purposes of the ASOSAI Assembly:
1. Promoting Professional Cooperation: The assembly allows member SAIs to work together to enhance the quality of auditing practices and to share best practices in public sector auditing.
2. Capacity Building: Through workshops, seminars, and training programs, ASOSAI fosters the development of auditing skills and expertise among its member institutions.
3. Knowledge Exchange:The assembly provides a forum for discussing new developments, challenges, and trends in public sector auditing, such as fraud detection, accountability, transparency, and the audit of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
4. Standard Setting: ASOSAI contributes to setting and harmonizing auditing standards in line with global practices to ensure consistency and improvement in the quality of public sector audits across member countries.
5. Promoting Good Governance: By improving auditing processes, ASOSAI helps member countries strengthen financial accountability, transparency, and governance in their public sectors.
The assembly is held every three years and includes discussions on strategic issues, election of governing board members, and review of ASOSAI’s long-term initiatives.
