INTERNAL AUDIT
Audit is able to perform now, because an act of Parliament, enabled the appointment of the Internal auditor general. This milestone, has gone a long way, in increasing audit recognition, service delivery and even improve efficiency.
Traditionally, our internal audit function focuses on providing core assurance around many process risks and controls in the district. Due to increasing demands from stakeholders, the volatile atmosphere and complexities of doing work, audit have engaged a top gear in order to deliver deeper insights and provide value for money assurances.
Particularly, they have been instrumental in ensuring that sector workplans are executed as per policy and guidelines.
However, audit output largely depends on the culture prevailing within the organisation. Increasingly, council, committees and boards, together with senior management team, Should continue to play their roles in order to foster a stronger internal control culture.
Together, with a formidable tone at the top, let us never get tired to periodically assess whether the prevailing risk and control culture is aligning well with the government’s values, ethics, risk strategy, audit appetite, tolerance, and approach.
