On March 16, 2007, the Accounting Chamber of Ukraine conducted the first meeting of the EUROSAI WGEA Special Subgroup on the Audit of Natural, Man-caused Disasters Consequences and Radioactive Wastes Elimination, established last year in Luxembourg. The Subgroup consists of 8 permanent members, with the SAI of Albania becoming its most recent member.
The meeting was attended by 10 SAIs interested in Special Subgroup's activities, in particular carrying out the International Co-ordinated Audit of the Chernobyl Shelter Fund. Representatives of concerned Ukrainian Government bodies, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and Chernobyl Shelter Fund in Ukraine also participated in the event.
Currently, 9 SAIs (Ukraine as Audit Co-ordinator, European Court of Auditors, Germany, France, Poland, Russian Federation, Slovak Republic, Switzerland, United States of America) expressed their intention to collaborate in the Audit.
In the course of the meeting, the participants held active discussions about the Special Subgroup's Work Plan for 2007-2008, the general principles of the Chernobyl Audit, and the Subgroup's future activities.
During 2007, the participating SAIs are likely to carry out national audits and provide the SAI of Ukraine with relevant audit summaries. As the Audit Co-ordinator, the Accounting Chamber will draft a Joint Report to be signed and distributed in 2008.
