Effective Internal Control And Financial Audit At Local Level

The objective of this Component is to provide for a comprehensive and integrated review of the powers of national financial control and audit bodies (including the State Audit Service, the Accounting Chamber, and the State Treasury), as well as local financial bodies, regarding their current policies and procedures for the control and audit of local budgets. Component 4 has a strong capacity building focus, and it will achieve its goals through an integrated assessment of the current national-level financial control and audit organisations (especially the State Audit Service, the Accounting Chamber, and the State Treasury) as well as local government audit organisations. Implementation will be based on three elements:

• First, a review and analysis of current national-level financial control and audit organisations, and of local government audit organisations, as well.
• Second, a successful assembly of PIFC and external audit policy and procedural models from other countries.
• Third, and based on the assessment of current circumstances and international models, the Project Team will develop and support the implementation of recommendations for more comprehensive and integrated national- and local government level PIFC and external audit policies and procedures.
