For the first time since its formation, the General Auditing Commission (GAC), under the administration of Auditor General Hon. P. Garswa Jackson, Sr., will host the prestigious Annual Governing Board Meeting of AFROSAI-E in Monrovia from May 18–22, 2026.
AFROSAI-E is a regional body of 26 African countries formed to strengthen the institutional capacity of Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) in English-speaking Africa. It promotes auditing standards, SAI independence, and accountability to improve public finance management and enhance the lives of citizens.
The Conference is an annual AFROSAI-E initiative held to fulfill statutory requirements, review progress on the 2025–2029 Strategic Plan, and foster accountability. These meetings ensure member SAIs enhance institutional capacity and strengthen peer-to-peer support.
At this year’s conference, hosted by SAI Liberia (The General Auditing Commission), the 26 Auditors General will convene for:
• A two-day Governing Board Meeting at a local hotel in Monrovia.
• A two-day Strategic Review Meeting at the Ministerial Complex, featuring panel discussions on various audit-related topics.
Two prominent Liberians, former President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and former Finance and Development Planning Minister Dr. Antoinette Sayeh are expected to make presentations. Prior to the Strategic Review Meetings, an opening session will be held with international and local guests in attendance.
At the end of these deliberations, delegates and participants are expected to:
• Adopt resolutions on the 2025–2029 Strategic Plan
• Strengthen regional audit cooperation and peer support
• Commit to measurable improvements in SAI independence and public finance oversight
• Issue a joint communiqué aligned with AU Agenda 2063
