New Contributors to the PIOB Budget – July 2020

In May 2020, the International Forum of Independent Audit Regulators (IFIAR) conveyed its decision to contribute JPY 6,150,000 to the PIOB budget in 2020 and 2021. Similarly, in July 2020, the Federal Audit Oversight Authority of Switzerland (FAOA), a member of IFIAR, confirmed a contribution of 10,000 euros for 2020. The PIOB appreciates this strong signal of support from both stakeholders. Their support  will contribute significantly to a more stable and diversified funding base, and allow the PIOB to continue exercising its mandate in the fields of audit and assurance, and ethics.
