CPA UK & Falkland Islands

CPA UK and the Falkland Islands have collaborated on parliamentary strengthening programmes focusing on diverse issues, from public financial scrutiny to parliamentary outreach. Following the November 2017 general election, CPA UK facilitated a post-election induction for the eight Members of the Legislative Assembly and relevant parliamentary officials. This type of programme, sometimes referred to as a post-election seminar (PES), is often requested by legislatures as an introduction to the role and responsibilities of elected representatives for first-time Members of Parliament.

The Falkland Islands have also participated in the UK Overseas Territories (UKOT) Project, one of two special projects CPA UK is leading. In addition to professional development opportunities for the Territory's Head of Internal Audit, the UKOT Project has offered support to the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of the Legislative Assembly. The PAC Clerk completed a familiarisation programme in October 2017, and the Project plans to coordinate a PAC visit in the near future. 

CPA UK values the strong relationship with the Falkland Islands, and looks forward to further collaboration via the UKOT Project and other CPA UK programmes.
