The Auditor General’s Office is an independent body of the state which reports to the Parliament. Copies of our reports are sent to the Parliament, the President of the Republic, and the audited organisations. Under the revised Constitution, the Auditor General is appointed for a fixed term of 7 years by the President of the Republic with the approval of the People’s Majlis (Parliament). The powers and responsibilities of the independent Auditor General are stipulated in the Audit Act (4/2007). The Auditor General and his staff are not part of the Civil Service.
