My Fellowship

My Canadian placement:

Office of the Auditor General (OAG) of Alberta

My Canadian audit team:

I was part of:

a performance audit on water supply and allocation, led by Principal Marcela Zicha, at OAG Alberta; and
a performance audit on waste collection, led by Audit Manager Leslie Glasbeek, at the Office of the City Auditor of Edmonton.

My most valuable learning:

I learned about effective audit planning based on exhaustive risk assessment. I also learned about effective team management, including enhancing communication among team members and allocating tasks based on individuals’ talents and expertise.

How my Canadian colleagues and mentors helped me:

I was introduced to audit processes and working paper templates that are effective for ensuring high quality audit work.

What I enjoyed most:

I really enjoyed the working environment. This included the flexibility of working either in the office or from home and being able to deliver high quality work in either case.

My audit plan:Integrated craft production centers

I developed my audit plan project with the guidance of my mentors at the OAG of Alberta, Principals Byron Ofner and Ruth Schneidmiller.

The connection to my country’s development priorities:

This performance audit of Integrated Craft Production Centres (ICPCs) is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular SDG 8 (“decent work and economic growth”). ICPCs were sought as a sustainable solution to unemployment of graduates from technical and vocational education training and rehabilitations centers. The concept of ICPCs is expected to promote gender mainstreaming in the craft sector whereby at least 35% of women graduates would be employed.

How CAAF and my host office helped:

They helped me to:

consider gender aspects in my audit project;
scope the audit plan for better audit field work; and
identify the key stakeholders as well as concerned beneficiaries that pertain to the audit project.

The skills and knowledge I improved by developing this plan:

Building an audit plan based on an effective risk assessment.
Ensuring that an audit criterion is linked with the risks that pertain to an undertaking, system, or project.

My future impact:

The new knowledge I’m most excited to share with my colleagues:

The importance of considering gender aspects in performance audits as a way of promoting equality and equity in government programs and operations.
Effective management of audit teams through understanding everyone’s talents, experience and competencies, for better task allocation and efficiency in audit engagements.

The difference I hope to make:

I plan to:

Introduce audit approaches that, through the implementation of audit recommendations, will contribute to integrating gender equality aspects in government programs and operations.
Assist in selecting potential audit topics that are aligned with the SDGs to make a positive impact in the lives of Rwandan citizens.

My professional goals:

I will become a promoter of gender equality by sharing practical approaches that performance auditors, within OAG Rwanda or other AFROSAI-E offices, can apply to make recommendations that address gender equality in most government initiatives.

My Experience

The most Canadian thing I did was…

Sliding in snow.

My favourite cultural experience in Canada was…

Skiing at Rideau Hall.

Something few Canadians know about my country is…

It is number one in the world for female representation in parliament (61.3%).

My Fellowship experience in one sentence:

An experience that produces professionals who aspire to change the lives of citizens through effective performance audits.

My Fellowship in a single word:

Impact-driven.

Now that I have completed the Fellowship…

I will be a champion for gender equality in government programs and operations through my performance audits.
