On 27 June 2017 Chairman of the State Control Committee of Belarus Leonid Anfimov held a working meeting with Mrs. Elita Krūmiņa, Auditor General of Latvia. During the meeting, the Heads of SAIs discussed the issues of the activities of two agencies, as well as prospects for joint cooperation.
The Latvian delegation was particularly interested in the information on the interaction between the State Control Committee of Belarus and law enforcement agencies (taking into account the fact that the State Control Committee includes a law enforcement agency - the Financial Investigation Department and the Financial Intelligence - the Financial Monitoring Department), as well as information on liability for violations detected in the course of audits.
It should be noted that cooperation between the SAIs of Belarus and Latvia is developing on a bilateral and multilateral basis. So, in 2009 was signed the Memorandum of Understanding between the State Control Committee of Belarus and the State Audit Office of Latvia. In addition, the SAIs of Belarus and Latvia cooperate within the framework of the EUROSAI and INTOSAI working groups.
