Interviewer: Bengt Sundgren, AFROSAI-E performance audit manager

Bengt: Why did you selected two winning reports?

Goran: The judgment was that the quality difference between the two winning reports was
extremely small and it wouldn’t have been fair to select one of them as the winner.

Bengt Sundgren, performance audit manager of AFROSAI-E: Congratulations to the winning the prize! What made you win the Prize?

Mr Sebopeng: Hard work and that we have a good quality assessment system of the pa reports in place in Botswana.

Bengt Sundgren, performance audit manager of AFROSAI-E: Congratulations! What made you win the Prize?

Mr Utouh: One thing was that we got feedback on our submission last year when we did not win. The feedback gave us inspiration to work a bit differently.
