Kuwait: Auditing Bureau Given Financial and Administrative Independence
Kuwait’s Parliament has discussed amendments to the Auditing Bureau Law which if approved, would give the Chairman of the Bureau law enforcement powers. The Council approved the article which states the Bureau is a monitoring independent body which enjoys legal personality and administrative and financial independence. The Bureau also has the power to carry out all of the legal dealings necessary to achieve its objectives including concluding contracts, owning transferable and non-transferable monies and has the right to litigate.
