Support to Audit Service Sierra Leone 2003-2012
The project aims to enhance the effectiveness of Sierra Leone’s external audit service, through strengthening Audit Service Sierra Leone’s capacity to conduct audits on the financial and operational performance of public sector institutions.
This is a stand-alone project with the SAI. However, it is complementary to the Integrated Public Financial Management Reform Project, funded by a World Bank administered trust fund with contributions from the World Bank, DFID and the EU.
