FEO publishes audited accounts of political parties

The audited accounts of political parties are now published on the Fijian Elections Office website.

This is in accordance with section 26(2A) of the Political Parties (Registration, Conduct, Funding and Disclosures) Act 2013.

Supervisor of Elections, Mohammed Saneem says the amendments to the law in 2021 allowed the Registrar of Political Parties to publish the audited accounts of political parties on the FEO website.

Saneem says the Act requires that accounts of every political party are to be audited annually by an auditor, certified by the Fiji Institute of Accountants and submitted to the Registrar within three months after the end of each financial year.

He adds all seven registered political parties have complied with the requirements of the law by submitting their accounts to the Registrar.
