Mongolia -Capacity strengthening of Mongolian National Audit Office. 2013-2015

A targeted proposal with two components.
 
(1) Implementation of the ISSAIs, through translation, training and implementation. The project will address all four levels of the ISSAI framework, with particular attention on training and implementation of the financial and performance audit standards (at level 4). The project will also extend to those private sector audit firms contracted by the SAI to undertake audits on its behalf. The SAI will seek to participate in the IDI trans-regional program on ISSAI implementation and utilize the experiences from this as part of its efforts to develop and implement an approach to adopting the ISSAIs.

(2) Establishment of a training centre for the SAI and Parliament – construction and exterior decorations costing US $5.6 million financed from the Government budget, proposal requests funding for interior equipment and furniture of US $1.3 million. The centre will be used for SAI training courses, training with Parliament and its Committees (including on the role and functioning of the Public Accounts Committee), and international training and conferences.
