Branch in Egypt is approximately $200 in July 2016.
Amounts to be added into the account up to July 2016:
-$2800 to recover the account regarding the resources allocated to the African Journal of Integrated
Audit, which became $3,000 instead of $2,000, to print and distribute the publication containing the two
issues 19 (December 2014) and 20 (December 2015) as mentioned above. (Given that the Journal is
being printed).
-$500 allocated to Dr. Hesham ZAGHLOUL, of SAI Egypt being the editor of the best article of the
Journal, for the last three issues, decided at the 13th General Assembly in Sharm El Sheikh - Egypt in
October 2014 and the amount determined by the decision of the CBC in Yaounde - Cameroon during
the first joint meeting of the two technical committees of AFROSAI in July 2015.
-$200 allocated to the editors of articles the 2 issues 17 (December 2012) and 18 (December 2013) $100 for each issue and this for Dr. Mohamed Bahgat Mohamed Hosni and Dalia Al-Reda Bahbity of
SAI Egypt.
-$950 due to SAI Egypt and to be added to the same account and represent the cost of manufacturing

Thus the amount that should be transferred to the account of the African organization in the Arab
International Bank in Egypt is $4,450.
Thirdly: the situation of the Journal’s Editorial Board
The Journal’s Editorial Board is composed of the SAIs of:
- President: Egypt.
- Members: Tunisia, Libya, Cameroon, Burkina Faso, Ghana and Uganda.
And the communication directorate of AFROSAI Secretariat General according to the resolution of the
13th General Assembly of AFROSAI in Sharm El Sheikh - Egypt in October 2014.
And according to what was agreed at the 50th meeting of the Governing Board of AFROSAI in Maputo
- Mozambique in September 2015 on the participation of SAI Kenya (Chairman of the Sharing and
Knowledge Management Committee) and SAI Gabon with the Presidency of the Journal’s editorial
board to contribute to the preparation of scientific material published in the journal until the next General
Assembly in Namibia in 2017.
According to what was presented in the report, the Presidency of the Journal’s Editorial Board has the
following suggestions:
I.
approval of the amendment to paragraph 1 of Article 7 concerning the Committee for
Drafting the status of the scientific journal of AFROSAI to present it at the next AFROSAI
General Assembly in Namibia in 2017 for adoption. The text of the paragraph is as follows:
“1- The writing and managing the issues of the Journal is led by a committee composed as follows:

President
In the country that hosts the headquarters of the committee;
 Six higher auditing institutions selected by the
Members
Governing Board among the members of the
organisation for a six-year mandate – that is,
two ordinary rounds – half the members is
renewed for the first time by a draw
at the end of the period of six years from the date of their selection.”
Proposed text:
“1- Writing and managing the issues of the Journal is led by a committee composed as
follows:
The President: The President of the Supreme Audit Institution in the country that hosts
the headquarters of the committee;
Members:
 Management of Communication of the Secretariat of AFROSAI;

 Any SAI expressing the desire to join the editorial board of the Journal other than
members of the Director’s Committee to respect the presence of its representative to
meetings of the writing committee on the side-lines of the annual meetings of the
Governing Board and those to which they are invited.
II.
The approval of the decrease in the number of copies to be distributed to each party to 13 copies
instead of the 15 copies we distributed according to the executive procedures for the Journal; This
saw the increase in the number of member institutions of AFROSAI since the establishment of the
Journal to date.
