Summary:Dr. Hussam Alangari, GAB President, welcomed participants to the September 2018 meeting, which includes the Governing Board's Chair (United Arab Emirates) and First Vice-Chair (Russian Federation); INTOSAI Goal Chairs: Professional Standards Committee (Brazil), Capacity Building Committee (South Africa) and Knowledge Sharing Committee (India); General Secretariat (Austria); immediate past Chair of the Governing Board (China); Chair of the INTOSAI Development Initiative (IDI) (Norway); and the head of the SAI responsible for the International Journal of Government Auditing (IJGA) (U.S. GAO)-all of whom Dr. Alangari commended for steadfast, continued contributions. Key issues for GB consideration include: * Continued emphasis on fostering SAI independence; * Continued efforts on implementing and monitoring the Sustainable Development Goals and United Nations' Agenda 2030; * INTOSAI Framework of Professional Pronouncements (IFPP) and Forumfor INTOSAI Professional Pronouncements (FIPP) support; and * Recognition of the accomplishments, importance, and needs of regional INTOSAI bodies, especially regarding communication, resources, and technology. "All emerging issues listed in the SCEI report are very important, and they must be stressed among INTOSAI. [...]these issues need to be addressed at the United Nations/INTOSAI Symposium and other events as they also relate to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16," remarked Dr. Kraker.
