The International Transparency Organization: This is the rank of Libya on the Global Corruption Index

109

According to the International Transparency Organization, Libya ranks 171 out of 180 countries on the global corruption index, with very little of Libya’s oil revenues supporting the needs of the people.

The organization added that the Audit Bureau plays an important role in government oversight and combating corruption. In a historic precedent for Libya, the auditors from the branches of the Audit Bureau in Tripoli, Benghazi, and Sebha completed a program to accredit auditors.

According to the organization, the United States Agency for International Development has recently provided the auditors with information technology equipment to assist them in carrying out their duties.

The USAID also extends its sincere congratulations to the auditors and looks forward to continuing its partnership with the Audit Bureau in its efforts to improve the transparency of government operations in Libya.
