The Office of the Auditor General in Zambia has been appointed by the World Bank to audit the African Union (AU) and SADC.
Auditor General, Anne Chifungula announced this at a strategic plan review workshop for the Office of the Auditor General.
Ms. Chifungula said her Office has sent two Officers to war-torn Liberia to help audit that country under the hospice of the African Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions.
And government has challenged the Office of the Auditor General to be proactive and initiate new strategies in its mandate to enhance accountability and performance.
Permanent Secretary Management Development Division at Cabinet Office, George Kawatu said government has put priority in promotion of prudent financial management in the fight against abuse of public resources.
Mr. Kawatu notes that the Office of the Auditor General plays a critical role in ensuring that public resources are used for the benefit of the citizenry.
Good gesture. Let the confidence shown translate into more hard work and let gvt act upon those reports the hard-working Auditor General gives again and again.
That’s very good news .It simply means that the Ag’s office is doing a good job and recognised!keep it up!
AG’s office is not as transparent as they claim. They pay allowances to themselves even when they are auditing within Lusaka and yet write reports of abusing authority when other government departments do the same. The also publish reports without verifying or giving ample time to the ministry to respond. The AG Anna was a failure at ministry of finance and I would urge her to be fair in her interpretation of govt procedures instead of her trying to find faults with everyone even in cases were there are none.
