Death of SAI President
On July 9, 2004, Mr. William Dumazy, Senior President of the Belgian Court of Audit and Chairman of the INTOSAI Internal Control Standards Committee, unexpectedly passed away at the age of 57.
 Mr. William Dumazy |
During his tenure as President of the Court of Audit, Mr. Dumazy launched an ambitious reform plan for the organization. A strong supporter of INTOSAI’s objectives, he assumed the chairmanship of the Internal Controls Standards Committee in 2001 because he was convinced that SAIs have the responsibility to promote the establishment and review of internal control systems to improve government performance.
Mr. Dumazy was committed to developing further initiatives to enhance the concept of internal control. His latest proposals to the committee’s project to update internal control guidelines are reflected in the draft action plan recently sent to INTOSAI members.
The Belgian Court of Audit will always honor the memory of Mr. Dumazy with deep respect and gratitude and will carry forward his commitment to INTOSAI and, more specifically, to the Internal Control Standards Committee.
