The head of the Tripoli Audit Bureau, Khaled Shakshak, said exclusively to our source, during the signing ceremony of a cooperation agreement that serves the public sector and concerns projects with the Economic and Social Development Council, that: “Today’s session is a meeting where several topics were discussed, the most important of which are: how can the Audit Bureau and the National Council for Economic Development within the framework of their terms of reference and how they can cooperate. The goal is to improve state institutions, as the Economic Development Board is concerned with drawing policies and putting them in plans.”
He added: “The Audit Bureau always focuses on its report, especially on the reports concerned with performance, and we always note that government institutions do not contain policies, plans, programs and goals. We are trying with the Council to push in the direction of having public policies at the state level, whether in the service and development sectors, where there are plans, programs and goals, followed by the Bureau, whose role comes to monitoring performance, and through this cooperation, there will be benefit for state institutions in general and for the Bureau in particular with regard to achieving oversight.”
He continued: “It was also agreed with the National Council for Economic Development to give it all the oversight reports on the performance of public institutions, which in turn help diagnose the problem in supporting these institutions in the goals of their plans and programs. Accordingly, an agreement was signed to facilitate interdepartmental communication between the Bureau and the Council, and there would be cooperation.”
As for the Bureau’s report for the year 2021, Shakshak said: “The report is in its final touches, and while the preparation of an article has been completed, it is now in the last stage, which is the printing stage, and the period does not exceed two weeks for the report to be published.”
