Our Financial and Compliance Audit Manager, Mr. Afzal Hassan, participated in the ASOSAI Seminar on Audit of Public Debt, held in Nanjing, China, from 26th to 30th May 2025.

The seminar brought together 30 participants from 25 SAIs to discuss the role of SAIs, audit frameworks, and practices followed by different countries in auditing public debt.

The Auditor General’s Office (AGO) participated in the 6th edition of the Maldives National University (MNU) Job Fair, MNU Fahu Furusathu, held from 22nd to 23rd May 2025 at the MNU Central Administration.

This marks the second time AGO has taken part in the event as an exhibitor. The job fair featured participation from over 70 institutions and offices, offering more than 500 job opportunities across various fields.

AGO’s involvement reflects its continued commitment to engaging with students and young professionals, and to promoting career opportunities in public service.

The Auditor General held a productive meeting with Councillor and Head of Cooperation Ms. Linda Ehrichs from the High Commission of Canada to discuss the upcoming partnership between the Auditor General’s Office (AGO) and the Canadian Audit and Accountability Foundation (CAAF). This collaboration has been initiated through the Governance, Accountability, and Transparency for Inclusive Public Service (GATIPS) program, which seeks to enhance public sector governance through improved oversight.

The discussion centered on strengthening the AGO’s technical expertise in conducting Performance and Environmental Audits, ensuring greater accountability and transparency in public service delivery. The partnership will focus on capacity-building initiatives by leveraging CAAF’s global experience in audit methodologies, including training programs, knowledge exchange, and best practice sharing. These efforts align with broader objectives to promote sustainable development and effective resource management.

Ms. Ehrichs reaffirmed Canada’s commitment to supporting institutional reforms that foster good governance. Both parties expressed optimism about the long-term benefits of this collaboration, which will contribute to more robust audit functions and strive to enhance public trust in government institutions.
