Monrovia — Liberia's anti-corruption efforts received global attention last week when Auditor General P. Garswa Jackson Sr. served as a panelist at a two-day international anti-corruption summit in Lima, the Republic of Peru.

The summit provided a technical forum for dialogue and the exchange of experiences regarding the tools, strategies, and actions that Supreme Audit Institutions (SAls) are implementing to prevent and detect corruption. Its results are expected to contribute to strengthening integrity policies and consolidating the joint efforts of SAls in the fight against corruption and professional malfeasance.

During the summit, Mr. Jackson highlighted the country's use of data analytics in public audits, presenting practical results, methodologies, findings, and outcomes from two audits conducted by the General Auditing Commission (GAC) of Liberia.

He said the two audits demonstrated the GAC's use of data analytics tools to improve transparency and detect irregularities, including transnational corruption in Liberia.

His presentation drew interest from several Supreme Audit Institutions, including those of Senegal and Eswatini, which requested follow-up engagements.

Last week, the Auditor General honored a special invitation from the Office of the Comptroller General of the Republic of Peru, and Chair of the Specialized Technical Commission on Combating Transnational Corruption (CTCT) of the Latin American and Caribbean Organisation of Supreme Audit Institutions (OLACEFS), to serve as an expert panelist at the International Summit on Fighting Against Corruption hosted in Lima, Peru, where he led the high level Table 2 under the theme: "From Traditional Control to Intelligent Control: Data and Technology in the Fight Against Transnational Corruption."

This was one of many invitations extended to the Auditor General to address major global and regional anti-corruption forums, including his recent address at INCOSAI, the triennial general assembly of Auditors General globally in Egypt (2025), the AFROSAI General Assembly in Libya (2024), and the INTOSAI Donor Conference in Romania (2024), among other regional events.

The International Summit on Fighting Against Corruption was held from the 19th to the 20 of February 2026.

At the event, participants shared insights and gained understanding of key qualities and benefits within the INTOSAI community.

It brought together senior accountability and anticorruption officials from multiple countries and international organizations, including Mr. Mohamed El-Faisal YOUSSEF, President of the Accountability State Authority of Egypt, Chair of INTOSAI, and Chair of INTOSAI's Working Group on the Fight Against Corruption and Money Laundering.
