According to a press statement from the Indonesian Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) on Monday, the purpose of establishing the ASEAN Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (ASEAN SAI) was to support the efforts to form an ASEAN Community by 2015.
"Cooperation among the supreme audit agencies of ASEAN member countries is needed to help realize ASEAN`s goal of becoming one community by 2015," a member of BPK, Taufiequrahman Ruki, said.
ASEAN SAI is expected to be a forum that can help increase the capacity of its members while also assisting ASEAN member countries in creating good governmental systems.
The establishment of ASEAN SAI would be formally announced during the 19th ASEAN Summit in Bali next November.
