Assalam Alaikum, wa rahmathullahi, wa barakathu
By the grace of Allah, I take this opportunity
to renew my determination to continue discharging the legal mandate given to me
by the state with honesty and integrity. I am immensely grateful for the trust
that the President and People’s Majlis have placed in me and it has been a
great source of motivation for me. It is my responsibility to maintain the
reputation of the Auditor General’s Office as a model organisation that is
citizen-centric, value-adding, relevant, and trusted among the stakeholders based
on the strong foundations laid down by past Auditors General and in accordance
with our motto ‘Auditing for the Nation and Citizens’. It is also my
responsibility to give new impetus to our work to ensure timeliness in
delivering our output and achieve increased progress in our efforts to carry
out legal responsibilities of the Auditor General while developing the Auditor General’s
Office as a professional institution and building the necessary capacity of the
AGO staff.
By the grace of Allah, I shall soon be
introducing changes I wish to bring to the work of the Auditor General’s
Office. As part of these changes, a new strategic plan will be developed with
the engagement of key stakeholders. In re-organising and re-arranging our work,
priorities will be given to embracing latest trends and developments in auditing
such as risk-based audits, system-based audits, data analysis and data
analytics.
It is my humble request and appeal to all the members
of AGO staff that they continue to maintain honesty, integrity and impartiality
in performing their duties while working diligently with renewed determination
to provide value and benefits of audits to citizens and strengthen public
financial management. I am confident that the government and People’s Majlis
will provide their fullest cooperation and support.
May Allah bless our country with the benefits of a
robust system of governance, an accountable public financial management system,
a strong system of governance and a civilized society!
