Guinea – Introduction to Performance Auditing (Four months)

The project intends to train auditors from the State Inspectorate-General (SIG) in performance auditing. The SIG has never conducted a performance audit. The need for enhancing SIG’s activities to also include performance auditing has risen as consequence of new general regulations on public accounting, with the State Budget focusing on specific programs aimed at attaining clearly defined goals. Staff from SIG have attended CREFIAF performance audit workshops, but due to the short duration of such activities, this is not considered enough. The proposal suggests the following activities: a performance audit training workshop and a pilot performance audit assignment. The project also includes a small infrastructure component, mainly IT equipment and instructional materials.
