He particularly commended the initiative of hosting the first joint conference between ASOSAI and ARABOSAI on climate change and artificial intelligence, organised by the SAI of Azerbaijan, noting that it reflects strong inter-regional collaboration towards sustainable development.

During the meeting, the Governing Board members presented the Financial Statements, the Budget Plan, the Strategic Plan of ASOSAI, and reports on collaboration with other international organisations.

ASOSAI Working Groups on environmental auditing, crisis management auditing, auditing the Sustainable Development Goals, auditing state-owned enterprises, and IT auditing and data analytics successively delivered presentations on their thematic research results.

In addition, the ASOSAI Special Committee presented a feasibility study on establishing a new ASOSAI Working Group on public financial forecasting and assessment; and the 14th ASOSAI Research Project: “Promoting artificial intelligence to enhance efficiency and effectiveness in public sector auditing.”
