IFIAR with 22 members, focuses on improving audit quality in the institutions and the sustainability of good auditing strategies, the watchdog said.

The Sri Lanka Accounting and Auditing Standards Monitoring Board (SLAASMB) was admitted as member of the International Forum of Independent Audit Regulators (IFIAR) at its first meeting in Tokyo.

SLAASMB as well as regulatory authorities from Finland, Korea, Switzerland, and the United States were admitted as members in the meeting.
