CPA UK & the Falkland Islands

CPA UK has collaborated with the Falkland Islands' Legislative Assembly and its, constitutionally independent, Public Accounts Committee (PAC), on parliamentary strengthening programmes focusing on diverse issues, ranging from public financial scrutiny to parliamentary outreach. The Falkland Islands regularly engages in bilateral and multilateral activities delivered as part of the CPA UK-led UK Overseas Territories Project which focuses on good governance and oversight of public finances. UKOTP continues to offer support to the PAC of the Falkland Islands, delivering a Public Accounts Committee Workshop in June 2019, designed to explore the role and remit of the PAC and how it can be more effective in the oversight of public finances.

CPA UK values the strong relationship with the Falkland Islands and looks forward to future collaboration with elected representatives, auditors, and electoral officials through Phase Two of the UKOTP, and other CPA UK programmes.
