BANGKOK - The Office of the Auditor General of Thailand (สตง) has clinched the top transparency ranking among independent organisations for the fiscal year 2568, scoring a remarkable 94.64 points.

 

Following this accolade, the office released a detailed statement addressing the assessment of integrity and transparency (ITA), pledging future improvements.

 

The annual ITA evaluation aims to tackle corruption through enhanced accountability. This evaluation employs a comprehensive statistical approach that reflects the organisation's integrity and transparency from various perspectives.

 

The audit office's score was determined through three main components. Internally, a survey (IT) assessed the perceptions of at least 400 personnel regarding duty performance, budget usage, and anti-corruption efforts, with a total of 693 respondents participating.

 

Externally, the office gathered insights (EIT) on operation quality and communication efficiency from media, contractors, and others, with 589 respondents from two distinct evaluation methods.

 

Lastly, the public disclosure survey (OIT) focused on information openness and anti-corruption measures. Participants submitted evidence through URLs, directed to specific agency webpages, based on 28 questions highlighted in the publicly available database, reported Khaosod.

 

In summary, the audit office scored impressively but identified an area for improvement in working system adjustments, scoring 81.78 points under the external stakeholders' survey. The office plans to enhance those aspects to maintain and further its transparency efforts.
