IDI/PASAI 3rd Cooperative Performance Audit of Environmental issues – Fisheries 2011-2012

The PASAI congress in Tonga in August 2011 approved the third cooperative performance audit in the region and agreed that the topic will be on Fisheries. IDI has agreed to the region’s request to support a third round of cooperative performance audit. IDI was involved in the previous two cooperative audits in the region as well. The first and second cooperative audits on performance audit on environmental issues namely, Solid Waste Management and Access to Safe Drinking Water were successfully concluded in 2010 and 2011 respectively. IDI recognises that developing performance auditing capacity requires repeated efforts over an extended period of time.
The audit was in line with one of the key deliverables of the Pacific Region Audit Initiative (PRAI). Planning meeting for 10 SAIs was held during August 2011 in Fiji. The 10 audit teams carried out field audits in their respective SAIs and submitted draft reports at the reporting meeting where the reports will be finalized for submission to their top managements.

Expected outcomes: Participating SAIs conduct Performance Audit on Fisheries as part of the programme.
