The Supreme Audit Institution of Albania (ALSAI) participated in the International Summit on the Fight against Corruption, which took place on 19–20 February 2026 in Lima, Peru, with the participation of Supreme Audit Institutions that are members of INTOSAI and OLACEFS. The summit served as an important international platform for the exchange of experiences and best practices in strengthening government control in the face of transnational corruption and challenges arising from new technological developments.
During the summit sessions, it was emphasized that international corruption poses a serious threat to democratic stability, public finances and sustainable development, requiring a coordinated approach and close cooperation between audit institutions. The discussions at the high-level roundtables focused on the development of global anti-corruption policies, enhancing the strategic role of SAIs, using data analytics, artificial intelligence and digital technologies in audit processes, and strengthening integrity and internal control in the public sector. Special attention was paid to technical and administrative cooperation between counterpart institutions, with the aim of real-time exchange of information and increasing effectiveness in auditing international operations.
At the end of the summit, representatives of 21 SAIs, including the Albanian Supreme Audit Institution, signed the Declaration “On Strengthening Government Control in the Face of International Corruption and New Technologies”, reaffirming their commitment to promoting and developing global anti-corruption policies that strengthen their strategic role and promote institutional frameworks that facilitate the development of anti-corruption policies. The Declaration also emphasizes the importance of the independence of Supreme Audit Institutions as an essential guarantee for effective, efficient and transparent control at the service of citizens.
