GEORGE TOWN, June 26 (Bernama) — Continuous improvement in public sector auditing is among the main agenda to be discussed at the ongoing inaugural meeting of the Working Group on Follow-up Audit (WGFA) here.

In a statement, the National Audit Department said the two-day meeting, chaired by Malaysia, marks the first gathering of the newly established WGFA under the International Organisation of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI).

Other key agenda items include the finalisation of the Terms of Reference for the WGFA, which will serve as a guiding framework for the working group’s direction and operations, aimed at enhancing accountability and promoting continuous improvement in public sector auditing.

Participants will also share best practices in audit follow-up procedures, with Malaysia presenting its Auditor-General Dashboard, which tracks all issues raised in the Auditor-General’s Reports and ensures active monitoring until they are fully resolved.

“As of 2024, a total of RM157.73 million in public funds have been recovered as a result of audit follow-ups conducted at the federal and state levels,” the statement noted.

Looking ahead, the statement said the WGFA 2025-2028 Work Plan includes long-term initiatives to develop Best Practice Guidelines for audit follow-ups, in collaboration with INTOSAI member countries.

The group will also explore the need for specialised training and capacity-building programmes to enhance the quality and impact of follow-up audits in each member country.

Malaysia’s Auditor-General Datuk Seri Wan Suraya Wan Mohd Radzi presided over the meeting, which gathered 71 participants from 43 Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) around the world.

In her opening remarks as Chair of the INTOSAI WGFA, Wan Suraya emphasised that Malaysia’s leadership of the group reflects the global commitment to a dynamic, structured, and high-impact collaborative audit framework.
