Samudika Jayarathna

Samudika Jayarathna has been appointed as the new Auditor General of Sri Lanka, following the approval of her nomination by the Constitutional Council. Previously serving as the Senior Deputy Auditor General, she takes over the role vacated by W. P. C. Vikramaratne, who retired in April. Her appointment comes after several prior nominees were rejected for various reasons, marking a significant moment for the Auditor General's Department and potentially influencing the governance and financial oversight in the country.
