Published purpose

This project aims to help the Office of the Auditor General (OAG) of Mali to establish a competent structure with the appropriate means and tools to fulfil its mandate under the law governing the Auditor General of Mali. This project aims to help the OAG in anchoring modern audit standards, procedures, and techniques, as well as communication tools for its audit work, and an appropriate planning and internal management process. The project aims to strengthen the institutional development of the OAG of Mali in the short term, giving priority to its capabilities in terms of human resources and management work tools. Auditors and audit assistants (both women and men) are thus the first beneficiaries of the project. They are expected to convey their newly acquired knowledge and skills to colleagues who eventually join the OAG of Mali. Moreover, some of the project’s activities aim to improve the knowledge and skills of managers, specialists, and administrators whose role is to support the Office’s audit operations. By building on the OAG's capabilities, the project must also indirectly benefit the community of internal auditors and comptrollers, as well as Malian society in general.
