BPK and Tanzania's NAOT Sign MoU on Public Sector Auditing

The Audit Board of Indonesia (BPK) and the National Audit Office of Tanzania (NAOT) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) as a strategic step to strengthen bilateral cooperation in the field of public sector auditing. The signing was carried out by BPK Chair Isma Yatun and Tanzania’s Controller and Auditor General (CAG) Charles Edward Kichere at the Tanzanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs office in Dar es Salaam. “This momentum reflects a sustained commitment and the growing partnership between the two parties. The signing of this MoU is an important milestone in strengthening the cooperative relationship that has been built over recent years,” Isma Yatun said in an official statement in Jakarta on Tuesday. The signing ceremony was witnessed by the Indonesian Ambassador to Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda, and the East African Community, Tri Yogo Jatmiko, and representatives from the Tanzanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Through this MoU, the two institutions establish a comprehensive cooperation framework to encourage the exchange of knowledge, expertise, and best practices, as well as to support capacity building and professional development while upholding international standards and principles of good governance. Cooperation between BPK and NAOT has been strengthening since 2019 and has developed through various activities, including bilateral meetings, NAOT’s participation in BPK’s international training programme in 2024, and a visit by the CAG of Tanzania to BPK in 2025. “This series of collaborations has become an important foundation for the implementation of the MoU signing,” she said. Going forward, both institutions are committed to deepening collaboration to enhance the public sector audit capacity of both bodies, in line with BPK’s role as a member of the United Nations Board of Auditors (UN BoA) for the 2026–2030 period, host of the International Congress of Supreme Audit Institutions (INCOSAI) in 2028, and Chair of the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI) for the 2028–2031 period.
