Algeria Support for Court of Accounts’ Capacity Development (2014-2017)

This project aims at building capacity in performance auditing and in specialized audit disciplines (e.g. environmental and IT auditing), and mainstream the ISSAIs in the SAI’s audit work.
The need for this kind of capacity building was determined in a peer-evaluation in 2013 and a self assessment in 2008. The proposed intervention seeks to address the findings in these two reports. The project proposes to achieve capacity building in the mentioned areas through workshops on ISSAI and methodological tools, joint pilot audit engagements, study visits and development of auditing guidelines. The proposal also intends to upgrade IT systems, and to build capacity in the use of procured IT audit software through workshops.
The concept note proposes to have a peer SAI with proven expertise in performance audit, environmental audit and IT audit as implementing partner. Regarding procurement of software and training in its use, the proposal suggests to hire consultants.
Support requested: Financial and peer support Implementing partner: SAIs of Canada, France and the Netherlands and consultants are mentioned as possible partners
