As part of the reviewing process for the Compliance Audit Manual, working meetings with SIGMA representatives Mr. Alastair Swarbrick and Ms. Lelde Dimante, were held at ALSAI’s premises from September 30th to October 1st 2026.
In the meetings attended members of the working group established to review the Manual, as well as heads of audit departments.
The working group responsible for reviewing the Manual, including auditors with broad experience in compliance auditing, reviewed and discussed in detail, the suggestions put forward by SIGMA experts regarding the aspects of the Manual that require revision.
The discussions focused on strengthening the practical and guidance-oriented nature of the Manual, as well as updating its provisions in line with the requirements of international standards throughout the planning, execution, documentation, and reporting stages of compliance audits.
In conclusion, it was agreed to maintain ongoing communication and coordination with SIGMA representatives throughout the revision process, with the aim of including the issues identified into the revised version of the Manual.
