Room For Improvement Remains Despite Positive Audit Findings
KUCHING: Positive audit findings should not lead government departments to become complacent with their existing achievements.
Sarawak Secretary Datuk Amar Mohamad Abu Bakar Marzuki said every department must instead continue to identify opportunities to improve governance practices.
"The 3R approach of Revisit, Rethink and Recharge must be adopted to ensure continuous improvement in governance practices," he said.
He said this when officiating the Sarawak Audit Committee Conference 2026 here on Wednesday.
Datuk Amar Mohamad Abu Bakar added that good governance goes beyond ensuring compliance with financial regulations, as it also involves the ability to ensure every decision, resource allocation and programme implemented delivers meaningful benefits.
Therefore, heads of departments must examine weaknesses identified in audit reports, determine their root causes and take appropriate action to prevent similar shortcomings from recurring. -UKASnews
