2025-2026 Fellows

Congratulations to the graduate Fellows!

In the CAAF Fellowships, participants from our partner supreme audit institutions (SAIs) learn from Canadian auditors and develop the skills, knowledge, and experience needed to become leaders in their SAIs’ performance audit departments. Fellows observe and contribute to the work of a Canadian legislative audit office, while also developing an audit plan that they will implement in their own office.

The 2025-2026 Fellowships began with a virtual component that the Fellows completed from their countries, from October to December 2025. During that period, they started working on their audit plan projects, meeting with mentors from their Canadian host offices, and participating in a book club focused on leadership. They also gathered for two weeks of in-person training in Thailand in November. The Fellows then came to Canada, from January to June 2026, where they worked with an audit team at their host office, participated in additional CAAF courses, and finished developing their audit plan projects.
