Accounts Chamber Chairman Alexei Kudrin was received by the Russian President and briefed him on the Chamber’s performance, and cooperation with the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions on financial audits, presidential web page reported.
As the Chairman noted, next September, “Russia will host INCOSAI XXIII, a triennial congress of supreme audit institutions. The International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI) is an umbrella organization of the global audit community. With 194 countries as its members, it is the second largest organization after the UN. The member states are usually represented by former ministers and deputy prime ministers. Therefore, it will be a very representative congress, at which some 850 delegates will discuss the organizations’ performance over the past three years.”
“Russia will be the chair of INTOSAI for the next three years”, Kudrin said. “This is why we are drafting a declaration of the congress together with working groups from many countries. Part of the approaches in our declaration will have to do with the development of strategy-related auditing as well as digital methods.”
According to the Chairman, “Two main reports will be delivered at the congress. Russia will report on the analysis of achieving national goals and the analysis methods, the so-called strategy-related auditing. Another report will be made by China and will deal with the development of digital technology in auditing. Both drafts are now being discussed in the international audit community. In other words, Russia will become the central venue for government auditing this year.”
