Transparency international Anticorruption Center (TIAC) held an expert off the record discussion on July 30, 2015 to present a draft "Guide on Public Procurement Audit," produced by TIAC. During the discussion Artak Manukyan, TIAC Public Procurement Expert introduced the initial version of the guide developed by him. The event brought together representatives of the Chamber of Control of Armenia (including its three Board members) and GIZ Office Armenia, which supports Chamber of Control’s capacity development. As a result of the discussion it was decided to amend the guide and to submit it to stakeholders.

The discussion was organized within the framework of “Advocacy for the Improvement of the Audit Report Produced by the Chamber of Control of the Republic of Armenia” project. The project is implemented by TIAC and is funded by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (the “CBPP), Washington, DC, USA. The project goal is to enhance accountability in and oversight on budget formulation and the implementation of transparent and accountable management of public finances.
