BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 18. Kuwait is open to
sharing its audit experience with Azerbaijan in the oil and gas
sector as well as in areas related to climate change, Osama
Alfaris, a representative of Kuwait’s Supreme Audit Institution,
told Trend.
Speaking on the sidelines of the joint meeting of the Asian
Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (ASOSAI) and the Arab
Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (ARABOSAI) in Baku,
Alfaris began by sharing his initial impressions of Baku.
“This is my first visit to Baku, and the city is truly beautiful
and scenic. I hope it won’t be the last. Today is the second day of
our audit discussions, which are highly significant, as they allow
for valuable exchange of knowledge and experience,” Alfaris
noted.
He said 13 presentations were scheduled for the day, covering
themes equally split between climate change and artificial
intelligence.
“It is important to meet people from various regions and
exchange perspectives. We are discussing future plans, ongoing
issues, and potential agreements with our partners in the audit
field,” he added.
Alfaris also highlighted the potential for cooperation with
Azerbaijan, drawing parallels between the two countries.
“Azerbaijan is similar to my homeland, as both have rich oil and
gas reserves. I believe Azerbaijan also audits these sectors, just
like we do. There is a real opportunity to exchange expertise,
especially concerning climate change.
Experience-sharing in the audit field often takes place
throughout the year via training courses and seminars. This way, we
focus on topics of mutual interest and foster meaningful dialogue,”
Alfaris emphasized.
