The United Nations General Assembly has approved secretary general Ban Ki-Moon’s nomination of Heidi Mendoza as under-secretary general for internal oversight services.
The UN chief, in a statement last week, said the UN recognized that “as a certified public accountant, Mendoza has over 20 years of service in government particularly in the field of audit, investigation, fraud examination, anti-corruption and integrity advocacy,”
Mendoza has been a commissioner in Commission on Audit (COA) since 2011, particularly heading the audit committee on public sector auditing standards board and serving as external auditor for the Food and Agriculture Organization, World Health Organization and International Labor Organization.
