Audit findings crucial to strengthening public sector accountability, says AG
KUALA LUMPUR: The National Audit Department is carrying out its mandate as the country’s audit institution independently, professionally and with integrity to strengthen accountability, transparency and governance in the public sector, says Auditor General Datuk Seri Wan Suraya Wan Mohd Radzi.
KUALA LUMPUR: The National Audit Department is diligently fulfilling its role as the country's independent audit institution, focused on enhancing accountability, transparency, and governance in the public sector, asserts Auditor General Datuk Seri Wan Suraya Wan Mohd Radzi. She emphasized that audit findings are meticulously documented in the Auditor General's Report (LKAN), a vital component of the nation's checks and balances system.
Wan Suraya clarified that her role as Auditor General extends beyond mere compliance reporting to Parliament; it is equally crucial in prompting substantive corrective measures and enhancements to public sector administration.
Through the LKAN, deficiencies and non-compliance can be pinpointed, corrective actions can be implemented, and overall systems and governance can be fortified. Wan Suraya's primary objective is clear: to ensure that public funds are prudently managed and spent, delivering tangible value and benefits to the populace. She articulated these sentiments during her address at the 2026 Auditor General's Cup Debate Competition (PKAN 2026), which revolves around the theme "120 Years of the National Audit Department: Driving Accountability, Building an Integrity-Driven MADANI Generation."
