The Iraqi Parliamentary Finance Committee hosted the two heads of the Iraqi Board Of Supreme Audit, Rafel Yassin, and the Board Of Supreme Audit of the Kurdistan Region, Khalid Hadi, to coordinate between the two institutions in the public interest of the Iraqi people.

 

MP Jamal Kochar, a member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee and PUK bloc MP in Iraqi Parliament, said during a special statement to PUKmedia that during the meeting, the Finance Committee stressed the need to strengthen coordination and cooperation between the two institutions and bring views together to ensure the rights of all components of the Iraqi people.

 

He said: "The Finance Committee posed many questions that focused on financial matters to the Head of the Board Of Supreme Audit of the Kurdistan Region, who in turn answered the questions of the members of the committee."

 

According to MP Jamal statement, the meeting also discussed the first paragraph of Article 10 of the draft federal budget law for the year 2021, which provides for the settlement of accounts between the Kurdistan Regional Government and the federal government, in addition to some outstanding financial files.

 

KRG has been in negotiation with the Iraqi government for the last several months to insure Kurdistan Region's share in the federal budget and last December, the KRG Deputy PM, Qubad Talabani has announced reaching an agreement between the KRG and the Iraqi government.
