CPA UK & Fiji
CPA UK has a strong relationship with the Parliament of Fiji, rooted in parliamentary strengthening and diplomacy. The Parliament of Fiji partnered with CPA UK to host a workshop for Public Accounts Committees in the Asia-Pacific region in April 2025. CPA UK also hosted a delegation of Fiji's Senior Clerks for a programme focused on committee scrutiny in February 2024, building off an outward delegation visit of UK Parliamentarians to the Fijian parliament in June 2023.
