Oman Audit Institution Seeks Strategic Collaboration With MACC
KUALA LUMPUR, June 19 (Bernama) -- Oman's State Audit Institution (SAI) has expressed its intention to establish a strategic partnership with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to strengthen international cooperation in combating corruption and enhancing governance.
In a statement, the MACC said that the matter was conveyed by SAI deputy chairman for Audit on Authorities, Investment and Companies, Zahra Mohamed Al Lawati, during a courtesy call on MACC Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya today.
'SAI is an independent body that reports directly to the Sultan of Oman and is tasked with overseeing financial and administrative controls, including auditing, performance monitoring, investment management, and the oversight of financial violations,' it said, adding that the institution recorded a significant improvement in the 2024 Corruption Perceptions Index, reflecting a positive outcome of its governance efforts.
