By the grace of Allah, I take this
opportunity to renew my determination to continue discharging the legal mandate
given to me by the state with honesty and integrity. I am immensely grateful
for the trust that the President and People’s Majlis have placed in me and it
has been a great source of motivation for me. It is my responsibility to
maintain the reputation of the Auditor General’s Office as a model organisation
that is citizen-centric, value-adding, relevant, and trusted among the
stakeholders based on the strong foundations laid down by past Auditors General
and in accordance with our motto ‘Auditing for the Nation and Citizens’. It is
also my responsibility to give new impetus to our work to ensure timeliness in
delivering our output and achieve increased progress in our efforts to carry
out legal responsibilities of the Auditor General while developing the Auditor
General’s Office as a professional institution and building the necessary
capacity of the AGO staff.
By the grace of Allah, I shall soon
be introducing changes I wish to bring to the work of the Auditor General’s
Office. As part of these changes, a new strategic plan will be developed with
the engagement of key stakeholders. In re-organising and re-arranging our work,
priorities will be given to embracing latest trends and developments in
auditing such as risk-based audits, system-based audits, data analysis and data
analytics.
It is my humble request and appeal to
all the members of AGO staff that they continue to maintain honesty, integrity
and impartiality in performing their duties while working diligently with
renewed determination to provide value and benefits of audits to citizens and
strengthen public financial management. I am confident that the government and
People’s Majlis will provide their fullest cooperation and support.
May Allah bless our country with the
benefits of a robust system of governance, an accountable public financial
management system, a strong system of governance and a civilized society!
