Background
On 18 March 2026 at the National Assembly building, Khuon Davith, Deputy Secretary General of the National Assembly and Chair of the Public Financial Management Reform Group within the General Secretariat, presided over a meeting to review internal audit reports. The session formed part of ongoing efforts to enhance transparency, governance, and operational effectiveness in the General Secretariat of the National Assembly.
The meeting brought together relevant technical leadership, including the heads of the Internal Audit Department, the State Property Management Department, and the Finance Department, as well as other collaborating officials from the General Secretariat.
Scope of Application
The review focused on internal audit work conducted within the General Secretariat of the National Assembly. It covered the use of budget packages and the management of state property under the responsibility of this legislative institution, within the framework of Cambodia’s public financial management reform program.
Key Provisions or Decisions
During the meeting, the Deputy Secretary General and participants examined, monitored, and evaluated the results of internal audits already implemented. The discussion highlighted several key points:
- Adjustment of indicators for internal audit results, with the aim of making them more accurate and aligned with work standards and the actual situation of the units concerned.
- Setting strategic directions to increase the momentum and quality of work implementation within the General Secretariat of the National Assembly, in accordance with the Royal Government’s public financial management reform program.
- Reaffirmation that the review of internal audit reports is an important mechanism to ensure that the use of budget packages and the management of state property in the legislative institution adhere to principles of legality, economy, targeting of objectives, and high accountability.
Implications for Investors, Businesses, or Compliance
Although primarily internal to the National Assembly, the strengthening of internal audit and financial governance mechanisms contributes to more transparent and accountable use of public resources in the legislative branch. Clearer performance indicators and strategic guidance for internal audits support better control over budget execution and state asset management, aligning operations of the General Secretariat with national public financial management reform objectives.
