Improvement in efficiency and quality of audit work with application of an Audit Management System 2012-2015 SAI Macedonia

This initiative is designed to plan, procure and implement an electronic audit system to standardize the SAI’s approach to audit, reduce the time needed for supervision and review of audit papers, and enhance quality control of the audit process. It is expected to improve audit efficiency and quality. The most appropriate audit management system would be selected through a competitive tender based on specifications to be drawn up during the design phase. Initiative is part of the development strategy 2010-14 and IT strategy 2009-13. It was identified through the 2011 INTOSAI-Donor Cooperation Global Call for Proposals.
