Mr Visinger, IBAN Chair, and Mr Acevski, Auditor General of the SAO of North Macedonia
With the aim at strengthening professional relations based on equality and mutual benefits, IBAN and the SAO of North Macedonia reached an agreement to promote mutual cooperation related to audit in various areas. The head of the North Macedonian SAO invited IBAN’s Chair for an official visit to Skopje, where a Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation between the two bodies was signed on 10 October 2024.
This collaboration will focus on supporting staff training programmes, establishing opportunities for professional traineeships, and facilitating the exchange of experiences, best practices, and professional documentation, among other initiatives. Both IBAN and the SAO of North Macedonia are committed to intensify their mutual support in carrying out their external audit functions in accordance with the standards and principles promulgated by the International Organisation of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI).
This form of mutual cooperation was offered to all Supreme Audit Institutions of the NATO Nations earlier this year, and if they intend to share the above-mentioned experiences, they can therefore participate to the same extent.
