Alexandra Rogkakou, Interim Governor of the National Transparency Authority (NTA) and Head of Inspections and Audits, participated in an interesting panel at the 20th annual conference of the Institute of Internal Auditors of Greece - (HIIA) Greece, which took place at the Athens Concert Hall on topic "Feel the Rhythm".
Ms. Rogkakou during her presentation set the framework for the internal audit system in the Public Sector, highlighting that it was drafted in accordance with the standards of the Institute of Internal Auditors and COSO's best practices.
As she mentioned, after the law was passed, the struggle for the contribution of the National Transparency Authority began "We already have public authorities, some municipalities, universities, operating internal audit units and the first samples are very encouraging."
He also noted that in cooperation with the Ministry of Interior and the National School of Public Administration and Local Government, a program for the certification of internal auditors has been developed, which goes beyond the usual training programs and although it is quite a difficult program compared to others that have been done in the past, it has a great importance and credibility, elements that benefit those who participate in it.
Finally, he stressed that "The the NTA is next to the internal audit units and does not stop at training, it helps even in the difficulties during audits and works in an advisory capacity and to enhance accountability"
