FIFTEEN COUNTRIES TO ATTEND 3RD INTOSAI MEETING
Jakarta, July 14 (ANTARA) - Fifteen countries will attend the 3rd meeting of the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions Working Group Against International Money Laundering and Corruption here on Wednesday.
"Twelve of the countries are members of the Interanational Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (Intosai) while the other three are observers," the chief of the event's organizing committee, Gatot Supiartono, said here on Tuesday.
Indonesian membership in the Intosai meant the performance of the Indonesian Supreme Audit Board (BPK) had been recognized by the international community.
The Working Group was set up by the Steering Committee of Intosai since 2002. Intosai members have encouraged its establishment to promote exchange of information and experience as well as cooperation among supreme audit institutions in the world.
Gatot who is BPK's expert staff for investigative examination said the 12 countries that would attend the meeting were Egypt as Intosai chair, Colombia, Britain, Ecuador, the United States, Peru, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Russia, Germany, Lesotho and Mexico.
The three countries that will come as observers are Malaysia, Iraq and Poland.
"We hope the three observers will later become Intosai members," he said.
Gatot said the working group had strategic aims among others promoting international cooperation among audit agencies as well as with other agencies concerned with fighting money laundering and corruption.
He said the result of the meeting could later be adopted as a policy for dealing with corruption and international money laundering for implementation by audit agencies in the participating countries.
"The result of the meeting could be adopted by audit agencies as their policy so that corruption and international money laundering could be dealt with totally," he said.
