The EU was represented by Ioanis Filopulos (Greece) and Michel Peque (France).
The purpose of the meeting was to assess the potential and priority ideas of the planned project that aims to implement the future Association Agreement EU - Ukraine: improvement of the public internal financial control and implementation of appropriate mechanisms to fight fraud.
During the meeting the EU representatives studied the Inspection’s basic functions and structure, rights and responsibilities, approaches to planning and conducting audits, current stage of implementation of the European model of public internal financial control and main directions of the Inspection’s international cooperation.
