CAAF – Canadian Audit and Accountability Foundation

Published purpose

This project aims to improve value for money in public expenditures in Cameroon, Ghana, Tanzania, and Vietnam. This is achieved by building sustainable audit and legislative oversight capacity within the supreme audit institutions and Public Accounts Committees of the four countries, in order to fight corruption, improve governance and accountability, and focus resources on achieving results. The project facilitates the creation of networks and partnerships between Canadian and developing country audit offices and their representative institutions, Public Accounts Committees in Canada and abroad, and donors. The project activities include forensic and environmental audits and support for Public Accounts Committees and other oversight committees. Finally, the project provides internship opportunities for representatives from Cameroon, Ghana, Tanzania, and Vietnam within Canadian audit offices at the federal and provincial levels.
