Burkina Faso -Development of financial audit manuals and guides, and auditor training in their use (two years)

In this project the Burkina Faso Court of Audit plans to develop financial audit guides and a financial audit manual in accordance with INTOSAI standards, and train staff in its use. The project is based on a capacity building needs assessment that revealed weak application of international standards and non-standardized audit methods and report drafting. After the completion of guides and manuals, the staff will be trained in the use of them through workshops and pilot audits. CREFIAF’s Regional Institutional Strengthening Committee (RISC) Secretariat, which helped prepare the concept note, will place an expert at the SAI to collaborate on the development of the audit manual and guides, train staff and coach staff on pilot audits.
