During the week of 24 to 27 November 2025, the Court of Accounts hosted a delegation from the Supreme Audit Institution of the Republic of Mali, comprising the institution’s President and three advisers representing various audit and judicial formations.
The visit formed part of a series of meetings with counterpart institutions from the Republic of Djibouti and the Republic of Benin, aimed at sharing expertise and experience and strengthening South-South cooperation.
The programme included working sessions with the Court’s Vice-President and interactive meetings with a group of Court of Accounts judges and representatives of the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Economy and Planning, and the National School of Administration.
The presentations and contributions covered:
The organisation of the Court of Accounts and its powers.
The Court’s strategic directions for developing its audit work, judicial functions and internal governance.
Training and activities to strengthen the professional capacities of the Court’s judges and staff.
The Court’s relations with stakeholders and its coordination and cooperation mechanisms.
Types of audit and their methodologies under international standards.
International standards for public finance auditing and their role in improving the quality and credibility of the work.
Judicial audit and its procedures.
The Court’s digital transformation strategy and related projects.
This visit confirms the Court of Accounts’ commitment to strengthening international cooperation and the exchange of experience with its counterparts. Cooperation mechanisms among supreme audit institutions are increasingly important for making audits more effective and improving the quality of their results. Such cooperation enables the exchange of expertise and professional knowledge and the development of modern tools and methodologies in auditing, governance and transparency. It also helps strengthen these institutions’ human resources, implement joint training programmes and adopt best practices in auditing, thereby reinforcing their role in promoting integrity in public management and protecting public funds.
