Majuro, Republic of the Marshall Islands: The Office of the Auditor-General (OAG) of the Republic of the Marshall Islands is pleased to announce its participation in the ASOSAI Sub-regional Audit Planning Meeting, which was scheduled to take place from March 3 to March 7, 2025, in Bangkok, Thailand.
The meeting, organized by the Asian Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (ASOSAI) in partnership with the State Audit Office of the Kingdom of Thailand, also invited member countries of the Pacific Association of Supreme Audit Institutions (PASAI). This gathering brought together Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) from across the Asia and the Pacific regions. The main objectives were to provide SAI teams with the opportunity to present and refine their draft audit plans, share their experiences, and receive feedback from mentors and peers.
The following representatives from the Marshall Islands OAG were invited to participate, having successfully completed the ASOSAI eLearning course on “Dealing with Fraud and Corruption in Auditing”:
- Mr. Raymond Kerslake Saipaia (Team Leader)
- Ms. Laulani Libokean Loeak (Team Member 1)
- Mr. Jaston Anjain (Team Member 2)
These individuals demonstrated their commitment by completing a rigorous nine-week training course, followed by a preliminary assignment in preparation for the in-person meeting.
As part of the ASOSAI Capacity Development Program (CDP) 2024-2025, there will be a follow-up Audit Review Meeting hosted by SAI Indonesia in the first week of December 2025. The meeting will serve as an opportunity to review and evaluate audit findings and further strengthen fraud and corruption audit capacity. Team leaders from each participating SAI will be invited to attend, with further details to be provided in due course.
The ASOSAI program plays a crucial role in enhancing the audit capabilities of SAIs in the region. Through structured training, collaboration, and peer review, the initiative supports efforts to promote accountability, transparency, and good governance.
The OAG would like to thank the ASOSAI and acknowledge the funding support from PASAI that enabled our team’s participation in this great capacity building development opportunity.
