XXVI General Assembly and LXIV Board of Directors Meeting 2016, Punta Cana
OLACEFS General Assembly is the highest body of the organization and meets annually. This year it is being hosted by the Chamber of Accounts of the Dominican Republic. In accordance with internal norms, prior to the start of a General Assembly a meeting of the organization’s Board is held where administrative issues to be discussed during the Assembly are reviewed.
OLACEFS XXVI Ordinary General Assembly will be held from October 18 – 20, 2016 in the city of Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic and is expected to be attended by audit institutions from around the world, as well as international cooperation agencies and other entities related to the functioning of SAIs.
The issues to be tackled technically at the General Assembly will be “SAIs and their contribution to achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)” and “Preventing Fraud Risk in Financial Statements and Managing Fiscal Risk”.
