Togo -Development and Implementation of a Management Information System for the Togo Court of Accounts (2 years)

The purpose of the project is to provide the SAI with an audit management system, other management information systems and functioning IT networks, to enable the SAI to produce high quality reports and to manage its resources more effectively. The project is highly ambitious in moving from a situation of having no IT network, IT department, IT skills, and audit software, to one in which all audit, administrative and financial management is done through an integrated IT system. The SAI proposes development of an IT master plan first. In taking forward the proposal, it may be beneficial to further assess the SAI’s current audit and other processes, and the extent to which these need to be strengthened either prior to, or as part of, a computerisation process. A detailed development plan would be needed to prioritise, sequence and cost the various activities and equipment required, and develop an appropriate implementation plan to ensure that changes to systems and changes to skills move together, so that any audit management and other systems implemented are actively used.
