SAI Kuwait Participates in INTOSAI Commitees, Working Groups and UN HLPF

Kuwait’s State Audit Bureau (SAB) participated in several meetings this summer, including the Working Group on Public Procurement Audit (WGPPA) in Serbia; 2018 Peer Review Conference in Slovakia; Working Group on Public Debt (WGPD) in India; and the Working Group on Environmental Auditing (WGEA) in Indonesia.

The SAB also contributed to discussions with the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI), the United Nations, and INTOSAI Development Initiative (IDI) as part of the UN High Level Political Forum in New York. The SAB shared knowledge and best practices on implementing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Supreme Audit Institution (SAI) contributions toward SDG achievement.

INTOSAI’s Capacity Building Committee (CBC) and INTOSAI-Donor Steering Committee (IDSC) meeting was hosted by the SAB, and nearly 100 delegates from SAIs and partner organizations worldwide participated in the event. Read the full story in this issue’s Inside INTOSAI section.

The SAB also signed cooperation agreements with SAI Poland and the United States Government Accountability Office’s Center for Audit Excellence and approved a new work plan for 2019-2022.
