The head of the Sudan Founding Alliance’s Presidential Council, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, has appointed Bilal Hussein Ismail Kanno Koko as auditor general, in the latest step by the administration to build out state institutions.
The decision, announced Thursday, said the appointment was aimed at strengthening financial oversight, transparency and accountability across government institutions.
The move follows a series of appointments by the TASIS-linked administration, which has been forming structures parallel to the Port Sudan-based military junta controlled by General al-Burhan’s SAF. In recent weeks, it has named ministers, announced judicial appointments, formed a Council of Regions and established a transitional currency council.
According to the decision published on the Presidential Council’s Facebook page, the appointment was made under the provisions of Sudan’s 2025 transitional constitution and is part of efforts to entrench financial governance standards and improve accounting and auditing performance.
Under the decree, the auditor general will head the Office of the Auditor General and oversee financial and accounting controls, as well as the implementation of financial laws in reviewing the accounts of state institutions.
The auditor general’s mandate also includes oversight of the accounts of regular forces, public institutions, banks and companies in which the state holds shares, expanding the scope of financial monitoring under the administration.
The decision instructed relevant government bodies to implement the appointment, facilitate the necessary procedures and cooperate with the Office of the Auditor General to support governance and financial discipline.
The TASIS government was formed after a political and military alliance between the Rapid Support Forces, the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North led by Abdelaziz al-Hilu, and other political and armed groups.
In recent months, the alliance has announced the appointment of a chief justice and the formation of a 24-member Council of Regions, described as an oversight body representing Sudan’s eight regions under the founding documents declared by the coalition.
