As part of the process of professionalizing and promoting good governance practices within the parapublic sector, the Circle of Public Administrators (CAP) organised a capacity building seminar for the presidents of the deliberative bodies of establishments in the parapublic sector.

This training, led by experts in financial control for regulatory compliance and a member of the National Order of Chartered Accountants and Certified Public Accountants in Senegal (ONECCA), covers the various points to be addressed during the board meeting in April.

The objective is to strengthen the skills of these leaders on the issues of the sector in order to improve the performance of entities in the parapublic sector.

During the session, the president of the CAP's communication commission, Coumba Diallo, stressed the importance of continuing education for the presidents of deliberative bodies in the parapublic sector.

"This training is crucial to strengthening the capacities of the presidents of deliberative bodies in order to guarantee the compliance, transparency and performance of entities in the parapublic sector," she said.

She added that governance in parapublic sector entities is governed by a strengthened legal framework, including Law 22-08 and the new financial control guidelines.

According to Ms. Diallo, the requirements of April defined by the financial control are of paramount importance to take stock of the year 2025 and to start the new 2026 financial year in a compliant and transparent manner.

Coumba Diallo also praised the determination and dedication of the presidents of the deliberative bodies present, thanking them for their commitment to successfully carrying out the monitoring and compliance missions entrusted to them.

For his part, the senior financial controller at the presidency, Ousseynou Fall, emphasized the importance of good governance and compliance with regulations in businesses. He indicated that it is essential to strengthen the capacity of those responsible for implementing these regulations.

"Financial control, the guardian of orthodoxy in corporate governance, must ensure regulatory compliance with the decisions that these actors are making," he said.

According to him, the objective is to share experiences, stories, texts, laws and regulations to improve the regulatory framework and enable stakeholders to take ownership of the tools available to them for perfect governance in entities within the economic sector.

Ousseynou Fall also stressed the importance of regulatory compliance and respect for texts for good governance, calling for capacity building for stakeholders to achieve this goal.
