Mr Speaker, the Auditor-General of South Africa, as a supreme audit institution of South Africa, is a member of the International Organisation of Supreme Audit Institutions, Intosai, which makes it the second largest international organisation in the world after the United Nations.
Every three years, there is a congress known as the International Congress of Supreme Audit Institutions, which this year will take place from 22 to 27 November in Sandton, Johannesburg, Gauteng, and in that, approximately 700 delegates will be attending this event from all over the world.
The Intosai motto is: Mutual experience benefits all. The two themes of this congress are as follows: Firstly, the value and benefits of SAIs, aimed at unpacking what a SAI should be doing to make it relevant to society and contribute to constitutional democracy. This includes the need for effective relationships between Parliaments, legislatures and the Supreme Audit Institutions.
Secondly, the environmental Auditing and Sustainable Development, which remains a topical issue in the international arena ... Thank you. [Time expired.] [Applause.]
