“It is clear that the crisis has drawn another social setting which has opened new areas of action for public scrutiny, especially as it concerns the rationality of public expenditures and commitments for fiscal stability and the containment of debt", commented the secretary general of Eurosai, Manuel Núñez Pérez.
The meeting follows the path set by the cooperation agreement signed in March of this year between the two organisations, as well as the global agreement previously reached between the world wide organisations, INTOSAI and the IIA.
“Our global agreement with INTOSAI recognises the worldwide value of professional collaboration between external audit and internal audit in the public sector considering the common objectives of promoting better control and ethics within the governmental entities”, said Richard Chambers, chairman IIA.
“Supreme audit Institutions of the eurozone countries are following closely the model of supervision and control of the European Stability Mechanism which entered into force", said Mr Núñez Pérez. "The prolonged crisis has highlighted the social values of any business organisation, as well as the achievement of profitability and concern for keeping long-term solvency. It has social responsibility goals to be addressed and the internal auditor involvement is very relevant.”
“Perhaps the continuing crisis forces us to revise many approaches in the organisation of public and private sectors, and to forget attitudes more interested in the short-term and immediate success than in the suitability of the organisation and business network, and not in safeguarding the welfare state”, he added.
