Some stakeholders have already been involved in phase I and phase II: the NAC, the POB, the Institute of Authorized Chartered Auditors of Albania (IEKA), as well as leading accountancy education institutions and professional associations. The proposed project will also have new stakeholders from the judiciary sector, i.e. Albanian Courts [District, Appeal, Supreme/High], the Administrative Court both District and Appeal, the General Prosecutor Office, officers of judicial police. Institutions have sufficient human resources to engage in the project implementation. Workshops and seminars will be supported under the proposed project to broaden the understanding of best practice settings and other countries.The Bank-executed activities will support the recipient executed components and include a heightened role of the WB team in providing implementation support and limited knowledge-related activities.
