The objectives of the support has been to increase co-operation between the auditing authorities in the region and to create a network between these institutions, to increase competence and act as a forum for exchange of experiences within the audit profession. - Activities / contents
The support is composed of financing of a yearly regional conference, seminars for Auditors General and regional courses in public auditing. To date, six regional SADCOSAI conferences have been held resulting in a number of resolutions on the role and status of the auditing institutions, as well as policies and ethics for auditing. Furthermore, during the period 1990-1995 thirty-four participants have completed all three stages of the course in public auditing and on the job training has been carried out. - Expected outcomes / impacts
The project seeks to establish public auditing in the region and to strengthen the auditing institutions both through increased competence and status within the public insitutions. Through improved auditing institutions the use of scarce public resources can be made more efficient, which is of high importance for the countries in the region, especially with regard to the structural adjustment programs many of the countries are following. Improved public auditing can also prevent misuse of public resources.
