Welcome to Afrosai-E Performance Audit
|
Performance audit is the audit of economy, efficiency and effectiveness and it is one of the six imperatives of AFROSAI-E. This site is one of the methods we will use to promote the development of performance audit in the region. It will have an archive of performance audit reports from our member SAIs and contain information on courses and training material. The purpose with the site is also to enhance distance learning through a special discussion forum for members of our SAIs. |

Two New Performance Audit Guides
At the Technical Update 23 – 25 November 2011 AFROSAI-E launched to new guides for performance audit in the region. With the assistance from the Swedish National Audit Office a guideline on performance audit on public procurement has been developed.The purpose is to encourage SAIs to do performance audits of public procurement and provide assistance for such audits.
The second guide presented deals with performance audit of government response to environmental problems. The guide has been developed by Louis Heunis in the AFRSOAI-E Secretariat. The purpose of the guide is to make it easier for SAIs to identify relevant environmental audit topics for performance audits and to provide links to INTOSAI materials on environmental audit and to reports produced in the region.
