The World Bank Institute (WBI) in partnership with the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA), Center for Democratic Institutions (CDI) and the Deakin University, will conduct the 7th Residential Summer School for Parliamentary Public Accounts Committees, which will take place in Australia from February 5-11, 2012.

Areas to be covered in the 2012 program include:
- Understanding budgets and good practice in the budget information
- Working with the Auditor General

- How can a PAC add value to audits?
- Empowering Public Accounts Committees
