430105Don't forget to visit the Amish people again - like the last fact finding group visiting the US - they probably got some nice furniture to take home there! Word to mouth propaganda.
But I guess nobody is worried that this a leisure trip (as Mr. Achsanul might suggest) -everybody knows how hard everybody works to make Indonesia a better place.

A delegation from the House of Representative’s Commission XI overseeing financial affairs will go to the United States to witness deliberations of a new bill on public accountants.
Achsanul Qosasih, the lawmaker leading the delegation from the Democratic Party, said the delegation would depart Indonesia for the United States on Saturday, and would stay in the country until March 24.
On the first day of the trip, Achsanul said the lawmakers were scheduled to meet with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AIPCA) and the Government Accounting Office (GAO).
The lawmakers will then meet their counterparts the next day in order to study the U.S. law on public accountants.
They will meet the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) on the third day, before returning home on March 25.
Last year, parliamentary watchdogs repeatedly lambasted state-funded overseas trips for lawmakers as wasteful and unnecessary, with suspicions that much of the time spent on these trips was for leisure activities.
“Don’t worry, there are no leisure trips [on our agenda],” Achsanul said.
