ABU DHABI: A delegation from the UAE visited the Audit Bureau of Jordan to share experiences, knowledge and best practices in auditing-related areas of mutual interest, including anti-corruption efforts.
The Emirati experts, including representatives from the Supreme Audit Institution and the Abu Dhabi Accountability Authority, discussed with their Jordanian counterparts ways in which they might work together to build future strategic partnerships in areas such as training, development and capacity building.
They also explored ways to enhance competencies in the auditing process and the battle against corruption, the Emirates News Agency reported on Tuesday.
In addition, they shared the experiences of the UAE in financial and administrative monitoring and reporting systems, anti-corruption initiatives, and promotion of the principles of integrity and transparency to protect public funds and resources for future generations.
A spokesperson for the SAI said the visit to Jordan was an excellent opportunity for the Emirati delegates to learn about the experiences of their Jordanian counterparts in all these areas.
“We discussed the best audit and accounting methodologies, mechanisms of instilling accountability in the management of resources of subordinate institutions, and verification methods for correctness and accuracy of financial accounts and general budgets,” the spokesperson added.
“We also talked about the mechanisms involved for submitting crisis reports on the performance of subordinate institutions in the management of financial resources.”
The Emiratis provided details of initiatives they have implemented, including mechanisms for the reporting of financial and administrative violations, a financial disclosure platform, and projects to enhance the concepts of accountability and community involvement in efforts to combat administrative and financial indiscretions.
A spokesperson for the ADAA said their participation in the bilateral discussions stemmed from a desire to learn about the experiences and practices of their counterparts, and an interest in building strategic partnerships with regulatory authorities around the world.

14 migrants drown off Turkiye after chase ends in deadly collision
- Search and rescue operations were continuing by land, sea and air to locate any remaining people who may still be missing
ANKARA: At least 14 migrants drowned on Monday after a boat carrying them collided with a coast guard boat off Turkiye’s Mediterranean coast during a chase, officials said.
The incident occurred near the coast of Demre, in Antalya province, as the vessel carrying Afghans ignored calls to stop and attempted maneuvers at high-speed to escape the coast guard boats, the state-run Anadolu Agency quoted Gov. Hulusi Sahin as saying.
Seven people were rescued from the sea by coast guard teams and given immediate medical care, Sahin said. Fourteen others who reached the shore were detained by gendarmerie units.
Search and rescue operations were continuing by land, sea and air to locate any remaining people who may still be missing.
Authorities have launched both a judicial and an administrative investigation into the incident, Anadolu said.
Separately, Turkiye has drawn up plans to deal with a potential inflow of people fleeing the war in neighboring Iran, Interior Minister Mustafa Ciftci said on Wednesday, with preparations including possible buffer zones along the frontier and tent camps.
There was currently no unusual movement at the three border gates along the Iran-Turkiye border, Ciftci added.
Speaking in Ankara, Ciftci said three contingency plans had been drawn up by authorities: managing any potential migrant flow on the Iranian side of the border; creating buffer zones along the frontier if movement cannot be stopped; and letting people into Turkiye under controlled conditions.
He added that Turkiye had prepared initial capacity to host up to 90,000 people in the event of a sudden inflow, including tent camps and temporary accommodation sites.
On Monday, hundreds of Iranians crossed the border into Turkiye. Others were reportedly waiting to cross. Ciftci said authorities had been informed that Iran was restricting its own citizens from leaving the country, while allowing Turkish nationals and third-country citizens to exit.
