The Philippine Commission on Audit (CoA) was elected to the Board of Directors of the Asian Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (ASOSAI) in New Delhi, India.
The 16e ASOSAI’s Assembly brought together key representatives from across Asia to discuss key audit issues and set the direction for the organization. The ASOSAI is a major regional entity under the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI).
Founded in 1979 with 11 members, ASOSAI has since grown to include 47 supreme audit institutions (SAIs) from across Asia.
CoA Commissioner Roland Café Pondoc, who led the Philippine delegation to the Assembly, said the election to the ASOSAI GB is one of the highlights of the Assembly, with seven vacant posts for the GB being filled.
Other countries elected as members of the GB along with the Philippines are Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates.
The CoA’s participation in the ASOSAI Assembly reflects its dedication and commitment to upholding international auditing standards and promoting collaboration.
The CoA also serves as the incumbent chairman of the ASEAN Supreme Audit Institutions (ASEANSAI) and the INTOSAI Working Group on Sovereign Debt.
