Ibrahima has been a Magistrate, Advisor to the Chambre des Entreprises publiques of the Cour des comptes of Senegal since April 16, 2021, and therefore has three years of experience. Before joining the Cour des comptes, he spent four years as a middle manager and 14 years as a senior civil servant. At the Cour des comptes, he took part in a performance audit of Société des Pétroles du Sénégal (PETROSEN).

Ibrahima is a private law lawyer and tax specialist, specializing in the management of state-owned entities. He has been an advisor to the President of the Republic of Senegal, Secretary General of an executive agency, a student at the Écoles nationales d'Administration in Senegal and France, and an intern at the OECD in 2016, among other positions.

My goals for the Fellowship

After my first practical experience in performance auditing, I felt it was important to have further experience with CAAF and the Office of the Auditor General of Quebec, to better understand the rules, standards and methodology specific to performance auditing. In addition, the Fellowship, and particularly my audit plan project, will enable me to deepen my knowledge of environmental and social standards in the mining sector.

The impact I hope to make as a graduate Fellow

The experience acquired through the Fellowship will naturally be shared with colleagues and other members of the Cour des comptes staff, as well as with the rest of the Administration. Time permitting, I would also be interested in the possibility of giving courses in various organizations or training schools.
