In order to enhance the professional skills of the staff of the Commission of Audit (CA) and at the same time to deepen exchanges with the Supreme Audit Institutions of the Portuguese-speaking countries, CA invited Alexandra Pessanha, assistant to the President of the Court of Auditors of Portugal, to deliver a training course from 8 to 11 April, during which the trainer addressed legal issues that auditors face when conducting audit in Portugal and in the European Union, and also shared her experience with the participants. CA’s staff involved in audit works participated in the training.

During her stay, Alexandra Pessanha was received by the Commissioner of Audit, Ho Veng On, and both exchanged views on intensifying communication among the legal departments of the supreme audit institutions, as well as strengthening the legal knowledge of the auditors.

CA will continue to maintain close relationship with Portugal’s Court of Auditors, and as planned, will invite its experts to Macau to deliver high level professional training on auditing and accounting.
