1st Meeting of the EUROSAI Task Force on Municipality Audit in Riga, Latvia
Exchanging of best practices among the countries and searching for ways to get the highest added value from municipality audit are the main goals of the 1st Meeting of the EUROSAI Task Force on Municipality Audit (TFMA) held in Riga, Latvia on 5-6 October 2017. The Meeting will also focus on discussing the implementation of the 2017-2020 TFMA working programme as well as panning its activity for 2018.
“To ensure systemic changes not only at the level of self-governance but also at the national level Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) should cooperate, exchange expertise, best practices and look for new ways how municipality audits can bring higher added value to all stakeholders”, – said the Auditor General Arūnas Dulkys.
The Meeting is hosted by the State Audit Office of Latvia and organized together with the National Audit Office of Lithuania. The event is attended by 64 participants from 30 countries among which are representatives not only of TFMA member countries, but also of the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions and European Organisation of Regional External Public Finance Audit Institutions (EURORAI).
Auditor General of the State Audit Office of the Republic of Latvia Elita Krūmiņa: “An audit can sometimes be a very steep learning curve for the municipality and its citizens. But mayors have even expressed their gratitude for having a look at their system from a completely unbiased position. The audit process and findings as a result have immense potential for inspiring change and improvement. I hope this event will provide space for discussion to find more ways how to connect points in legislation, circumstances, community, government, the environment etc. to give life to that potential.”
The EUROSAI Task Force on Municipality Audit was set up in June 2016. It unites SAIs from 27 EUROSAI member states. The National Audit Office of Lithuania is the initiator and the Chair of the TFMA. In its capacity as the Chair the NAOL has undertook coordination and communication of the Task Force’s activity.
