At the end of his seven year term as Controller and Auditor-General of New Zealand, John Ryan shared his reflections, based on both his role as Auditor General and as Secretary General of PASAI.?PASAI has also published a paper, covering many of the same topics as the webinar.
The webinar recording is available through the PASAI website, as is the paper. They can both serve as a source of information and inspiration to supreme audit institutions both in and outside the PASAI region, as well as to their stakeholders. It is also worth noting that the work of PASAI can serve as inspiration to other regions.
The paper covers regional challenges such as weaknesses in the public financial management system, corruption and low levels of trust in public institutions and offers suggestions for what is needed to address the challenges. The text also touches on regional strengths which work to the advantage of SAIs and some hopeful aspirations for the future.
We encourage you to visit the PASAI website to take part of the recording and paper as well as other PASAI stories and resources.
