The workshop initiated by the speech of the acting commissioner Judge Alaa Jawad Hameed, stated:

"We come under one common concern, one common goal and one common objective even if we all have the same specialty of audit but what ever comes first is our believe in the right of the people in its money to be saved and protected, preserved and invested so nobody can steals that money whatever he was public servant or not, senior or junior."

"Is the map of the various specializations of our oversight bodies is as clear as we have for the other specializations?"

This workshop is under the title "The responsibilities of oversight bodies in fighting corruption", which is an important step in our common way that has its expected findings to create the clearance that we have for the other institutions."

From the other hand, the head of JACC stressed in a speech on the efficiency of oversight bodies in fighting corruption, putting common conceptions to develop the oversight work to control the public fund, putting the institutional rules that work on control and fighting corruption and developing the legislation to fit the current situation and joining the international conventions that promote such rules with the necessity of tackling the misunderstanding, ambiguity and confusion on the achievements of the oversight bodies.
