Luanda — The Court of Auditors has signed three technical co-operation agreements with Brazilian institutions, including its counterparts in the state of Ceará, Baía and the Rui Barbosa Institute.

According to the President of the Court of Auditors, Sebastião Gunza, the agreements are an important milestone in the history of the institution, as they represent the process of consolidation in the creation and promotion of the technical and scientific improvement of technicians, through actions of technological exchange, technical cooperation and exchange of experiences with reference institutions in the Portuguese-speaking world in the field of public finance control.

Sebastião Gunza revealed that the body is in the process of implementing an integrated management system, which is why the agreements signed will be fundamental to the body's digital transformation process.

"At the moment, the Court of Auditors of the Republic of Angola is implementing its Integrated Management System, the SIG-TC, in other words, we are on the road to Digital Transformation. So, as of today, we are no longer alone on this journey, as we have just gained two major partners," he emphasised.

Sebastiao Gunza added that the institution is gaining momentum to continue firmly on the path of technological modernisation of the external control and inspection systems, through continuous technical cooperation aimed at institutional development and the technical, scientific and cultural improvement of human skills.

He said that the focus is on the technical and professional development of the technicians and the institutional strengthening of the body.

Sebastiao Gunza also took part, in the state of Ceará, in the 3rd International Congress of the Courts of Auditors, which focussed on themes such as external control versus social control in the digital age, artificial intelligence, fake-news, among others, in the process of external control of public finances.
