“The consistency of audit quality brings about the credibility of an organisation.”
Vice President of the State Audit Organisation

A Project Proposal Review and Planning Workshop under the Lao-Thai-German Trilateral Cooperation was held on September 26-29, 2016 in Vientiane, Lao PDR by the Thailand International Cooperation Agency (TICA) and GIZ in cooperation with management and officials from the State Audit Organisation.

The cooperation aims to upgrade the operations particularly of junior financial auditors in their financial audit, e.g.data collection and summarisation, with a view to meeting the ISSAI Standard, a standard set up by an international audit institute for regulating audit operations and ensuring they are efficient and effective.

In order to build up skilled and competent financial auditors, the project is planning on analysing and developing training courses on financial audit that suit the context of Lao PDR and which comply with ISSAI regulations. A team of master trainers to facilitate training courses, use learning materials and monitor and evaluate implementation will be developed in parallel. A team of experts from the Thai Office of General Audit (OAG) will provide consultancy support throughout the project duration (2017-2018).
