On June 27 and 28, the Brazilian Federal Court of Accounts (TCU) joined a technical meeting to consolidate the task force's contributions on the Communication Policy of the Organization of Latin American and Caribbean Supreme Audit Institutions (OLACEFS). The working group, comprising Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) from Brazil (represented by the TCU's Department of Communications, Secom), along with those from Paraguay, Costa Rica, and Mexico gathered in Asunción.

The OLACEFS technical meeting delved into the eight existing communication policy chapters, sparking discussions and improvement proposals. These included modernizing publications, optimizing communication channels for better dialogue, and forging external partnerships. Additionally, responsible and transparent use of AI in communication emerged as a key focus.

The consolidated material will be presented for approval at the 33rd OLACEFS General Assembly in October in Panama. This task force was established in November of last year, following a resolution from the 32nd General Assembly held in Peru.
