SAI Egypt assumed the post of External Auditor of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) for a six-year term.

The competitive application of SAI Egypt won among other nominees, beating out such applicants as the SAIs of the United Kingdom and the Philippines.

The new post of FAO Auditor underscores the credibility of Egypt’s audit expertise and the agency’s commitment to international standards.

• Working Group on Combating Corruption and Money Laundering
