📯Our March newsletter is out now! We lead with an article supplied by #ACAG on SAI independence levels. As well as pieces on @AuditOfficeNSW, SAI 🇲🇭 and SAI ACT, we're putting the spotlight on SAI 🇵🇼. Enjoy: pasai.org/bulletins-1 #PacificAuditors #SAIs #independence #AI

"SAI Fiji’s resilience was matched by the support of its stakeholders, who recognized that strengthening the independence of the Auditor-General is ultimately about strengthening governance in the public sector." From this @INTOSAIJournal article: intosaijournal.org/journal-entry/…
