Azar said: "Today, women make up more than half of all university graduates in Iran, and a significant number of top managers are women, a great achievement for women."
Top Iranian official also said that in the present time, the supervisory role of the Supreme Audit Court has enabled it to effectively oversee the executive branch of the government, monitoring the incomes and expenses of the executive branch of government , controlling the public purse.
Azar said that under the Shah, there was no proper oversight and supervision of Government revenues and expenditure, and that the Shah could dissolve the Supreme Audit Court with a single decree at any time he wished.
