Panama -Strengthening of the development of new specialized areas of ex-post facto supervision – SAI of Panama

This proposal is based on the 2011-2014 strategic plan and is a wide-ranging request for assistance so that the SAI of Panama (CGP) can re-orient its audits in line with international best practices and international standards. Covers strengthening financial audit and introducing new specialized audit methods (i.e., performance, IT and environmental audit focussing on forestry and water). The proposal includes requests for support in the development of audit manuals, training of staff and supervision of pilot audits. If possible, SAI Panama would like to take part in the future IDI Programme on implementation of the ISSAIs.
 
Total budget for the initiative is 480 368 USD, but SAI Panama will cover parts of the costs.
