Tin Oo (Burmese: တင်ဦး) is a former Burmese military officer and currently serves as the Union Auditor General of Myanmar.

Early life and education

[edit]

Tin Oo was born in Letpadan Township, Pegu, Burma (now Bago Region, Myanmar) on 24 November 1952.[1] He graduated from the 28th batch of the Defence Services Academy.

Military career

[edit]

In the aftermath of the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état, the military junta appointed Tin Oo as the chairman of the Anti-Corruption Commission of Myanmar, a post he held from 20 February 2021 to 19 August 2022.[2] In January 2022, the American, Canadian, and British governments sanctioned Tin Oo for his role in bringing politically motivated corruption charges against members of Myanmar's deposed civilian-led government, including Aung San Suu Kyi.[3][4]

On 19 August 2022, he was appointed as Union Auditor General by the military junta, succeeding Kan Zaw.[5]
