The premier conference of the newly established ASEAN Supreme Audit Institutions (SAI) was officially launched by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in Nusa Dua, Bali, on Wednesday.
In his opening speech for the event, Yudhoyono said the forum was expected to support the implementation of good governance in Southeast Asia.
“The establishment of the ASEAN SAI is part of our real action to achieve the joint aim. The World Bank has stated that a supreme audit agency is a pillar of national integrity. I agree with that,” he said at the conference venue at the Bali International Convention Center, as quoted by Antara.
The conference saw the signing of a chapter on the establishment of the ASEAN SAI by heads of supreme audit agencies of the 10 ASEAN member states.
ASEAN SAI interim chief Hadi Purnomo, who is also the head of Indonesia’s Supreme Audit Agency (BPK), said he hoped the new forum could support the creation of the ASEAN Community by 2015.
