  GC43/14 - Appointment of the External Auditor   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
In September 1995 the General Conference, on the recommendation of the Board of Governors, appointed the Comptroller and Auditor General of the United Kingdom as the Agency's External Auditor to audit the Agency's accounts for the financial years 1996 and 1997
The Chairman of the Board noted that, because of the uniqueness and complexities of the Agency's activities, it was useful if the External Auditor were to serve for a period of several years, as this made for more thorough and efficient auditing and follow-up on recommendations.
In this connection, attention was drawn to the fact that the previous two External Auditors (from Kenya and Canada) served for eight years (1982-1989) and six years (1990-1995) respectively.
