ParlAmerica’s “Strengthening Parliamentary Budget Oversight” workshop ends

Feb. 1, 2012 - PRLog -- Parliamentarians and Auditors General were both very positive about the exchanges they'd had over the course of the meeting. There was a recognition that smaller and larger Caribbean states can learn from one another, and that there would be benefit from having regular meetings such as this one, bringing together members of parliament and those working within audit institutions.

There was general agreement that the event was enriched through the collaboration of numerous partners such as the CCAF, CAP, and CAROSAI.
