Planned Audits

Overview

The Office of the Auditor General (OAG) of Puntland State is dedicated to fostering transparency, accountability, and excellence in public sector financial management. Our planned audits reflect a strategic focus on areas that are pivotal to improving governance and ensuring the efficient use of public resources.

Financial Audits

We will conduct comprehensive financial audits of key government ministries and agencies, including the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Health. These audits aim to ensure that financial statements provide an accurate and fair representation of each entity’s financial position and performance.

Compliance Audits

Our compliance audits will assess the adherence of various public sector entities to relevant laws, regulations, and internal policies. These audits are crucial for maintaining accountability and ensuring that governmental operations are conducted within established legal and regulatory frameworks.

Performance Audits

Performance audits will focus on evaluating the efficiency, effectiveness, and economy of government programs and services. This includes public health initiatives, educational programs, and infrastructure projects. Our auditors will analyze resource utilization, assess whether program objectives are being met, and identify opportunities for enhancing service delivery.

Forensic Audits

In-depth forensic audits will investigate suspected financial irregularities, fraud, or corruption within public sector entities.

These audits involve thorough examinations, evidence gathering, and analysis to uncover any fraudulent activities.

Specialized Audits

Information Systems (IS) Audits: These audits will assess the security, integrity, and reliability of government information systems.

Donor-Funded Projects Audits: We will review the financial management of projects funded by international donors to ensure that funds are used efficiently and in compliance with donor requirements.

Environmental Audits: Environmental audits will evaluate the compliance of government activities with environmental regulations and assess their impact on the environment.

Our Approach

We adopt a risk-based approach to prioritize audits with the highest potential impact on public sector governance and financial management.

This methodology ensures that our resources are effectively utilized to address the most critical issues.
