New Delhi, Mar 21 (IBNS): The 23rd Conference of Auditors General of Commonwealth Countries and British Overseas Territories will begin in New Delhi on Wednesday.

 Arun Jaitley Union Minister of Finance, Defence and Corporate Affairs, will address the Conference, which is being hosted by the Comptroller & Auditor General of India (CAG).

The main theme of the Conference, which will be held from Mar 21-23, is 'Fostering Partnerships for Capacity Development in Public Audit', with two sub-themes,  'Leveraging Technology in Public Audit', and 'Environment Audit: A Commonwealth Perspective'.

The two sub-theme discussions will be led by Auditors General of Tanzania and Canada.

The Conference will be attended by 52 Commonwealth countries and nine British Overseas Territories. While some of these countries feature in most developed countries of the world, there are several which belong to Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS).

The auditing organizations in these countries come together every three years to discuss the major challenges before them.

The last conference was held in Malta in 2014.
