​During the founding assembly of the CIGFA, the statutes and internal regulations of the Circle were approved, as well as its strategic orientation plan. The Assembly also decided that the headquarters and secretariat of the association would be hosted at the General Inspectorate of Finance of Morocco, in Rabat. The Assembly then unanimously elected Mr. Mohamed Manchoud, General Inspector of Finance of the Kingdom of Morocco, as President of the CIGFA.

Furthermore, the Assembly elected the Executive Bureau of the Circle, composed of the General Inspectors of Finance of Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, and Cape Verde, and gave strategic directions to this Bureau, notably to integrate new General Inspectorates of Finance from across the continent, create a continent-wide and international audit observatory, and develop technical partnerships with leading international organizations.

By offering a strengthened platform for collaboration, the Circle of African General Inspectorates of Finance aims to bring together the efforts of African IGFs to collectively address the challenges of modernization, performance, and optimization of public resources. Moreover, this initiative will structure a regional and international dialogue, essential for supporting the necessary reforms and sharing best practices. Beyond its operational role, the Circle positions itself as a catalyst for strengthening institutional capacities and will offer its members unique opportunities for capacity building, innovation, and sharing of experiences, thus amplifying their impact on public financial governance.
