My goals for the Fellowship

Through my Fellowship, I hope to acquire and develop skills that will enable me to better master the methodology and tools of performance auditing. In particular, I'd like to develop better skills in selecting audit topics and planning, executing and leading a performance audit assignment.

The impact I hope to make as a graduate Fellow

I intend to make the most of my Canadian experience by consolidating the skills I've acquired in performance audit assignments in Senegal. On my return, I also intend to share my experience and knowledge with my colleagues, to make a significant contribution to achieving our performance audit objectives and carrying out successful performance audits.
