SEREMBAN: The Housing and Local Government Ministry is committed to enhancing the effectiveness and ethical standards of Local Authorities through the implementation of the Financial Statement Strengthening Course, which is currently being conducted in Bandar Enstek here.
Minister Nga Kor Ming said the course, attended by 200 PBT members nationwide and conducted by the National Audit Department, aims to familiarise participants with efficient and organised financial statement practices.
"This course aligns with the Madani Government vision for all public departments and organisations to uphold good, effective, efficient and transparent governance, ensuring the delivery of optimal and integrated services.
"These include human resource management, accounting and financial management and transparent reporting systems and they serve as crucial evaluation criteria in the Local Authority Star Rating System, which has been enforced since 2009,” he said in a statement after officiating the course on Thursday (Feb 22).
This inaugural course for representatives, being held for three days beginning on Thursday, is a collaborative effort between the ministry and JAN through the National Audit Academy (ANN).
