Auckland, New Zealand (26 November 2020)
The Pacific Association of Supreme Audit Institutions (PASAI) held its 24th Governing Board meeting online on 26 November 2020. The meeting was chaired by Mr. Ajay Nand, Auditor-General of Fiji and current Chairperson of the PASAI Governing Board. The PASAI Secretariat team connected virtually from the Audit New Zealand Auckland and Wellington office premises and was led by Mr. John Ryan, Secretary-General PASAI and Auditor-General of New Zealand and Ms. Esther Lameko-Poutoa, Chief Executive PASAI.
The Governing Board discussed strategic, governance, and operational matters - including a proposed 6-month operational plan designed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Supreme Audit Institution (SAI) needs, and the results of the SAI Performance Measurement Framework (SAI-PMF). Agenda items also included an organisational structure review and a discussion of options for the 22nd PASAI Congress.
Mr. Ajay Nand launched the PASAI Learning Management System (LMS) – an important milestone in the Secretariat’s digital transformation and response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The LMS provides PASAI with a platform to virtually deliver its capability development programs in the short-term. The Secretariat will transition towards adopting a blended learning model (including a mix of online and face-to-face delivery) in the medium- to long-term as a more effective and sustainable delivery model.
The Secretariat expresses their gratitude to the Governing Board members for their ongoing support, and acknowledge our development partners for their continued support of PASAI and its work in the region.
