My FellowshipMy Canadian placement:Office of the Auditor General (OAG) of Alberta. My Canadian audit team:I was involved in an audit of Aging Facilities, led by Tej Deol, Audit Manager. My most valuable learning:My most valuable learnings were the determination of the performance audit scope focusing on high-risk areas and the application of a gender lens in performance audits. How my Canadian colleagues and mentors helped me:They helped me to settle in the new working environment and culture. In addition to formal orientation sessions, we visited various public places, tourist attractions, and families and friends. What I enjoyed most:I enjoyed visits to federal and provincial audit offices. I learnt a lot from their experience and good practices and most importantly how they engage and collaborate with various stakeholders. My audit plan:Access to Electricity in RwandaI developed my audit plan project with the guidance of my mentors at the OAG of Alberta, Principal Maureen Manning and Audit Manager Tej Deol. The connection to my country’s development priorities:Rwanda’s National Strategy for Transformation aims for the country to achieve middle-income status by 2035 and high-income status by 2050. As one of its core objectives, the strategy targets universal electricity access (100%) by 2024, from 34.5% in 2017. Achievement of electricity targets will improve service delivery, well-being and economic opportunities for Rwandans through usage of health and education facilities, public infrastructure and industries. The audit will contribute to achievement of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7, target 7.1 which is to ensure universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services by 2030. The audit will also consider SDG 5, Gender Equality, which is a key goal of the government. How CAAF and my host office helped:They helped me to scope the audit, to determine a concise but specific audit objective, and to balance the text and numerical information to be more understandable to the reader. The skills and knowledge I improved by developing this plan:I improved on risk assessment and scoping the audit. My future impact:The new knowledge I’m most excited to share with my colleagues:The new knowledge I am most excited to share with my colleagues is scoping down the audit to focus on high-risk areas. This will enhance the efficiency and impact of audit reports for my office. The difference I hope to make:Recommendations emerging from my planned audit will improve processes to achieve universal access to electricity in line with the SDG 7. Access to electricity will contribute to development of other social and economic sectors of the country including health, education and infrastructure. My professional goals:I will apply and share my acquired skills and knowledge with my workmates in OAG Rwanda through audits, supervision and training. |

The most Canadian thing I did was…Visiting Niagara Falls. My favourite cultural experience in Canada was…Camping in Edmonton. Something few Canadians know about my country is…The last Saturday of every month is a nationwide community work “Umuganda” day. All residents do clean-up in the country and discuss other national agendas. |
