My FellowshipMy Canadian placement:Office of the Auditor General of Quebec (VGQ) My Canadian audit team:I participated in a performance audit of the complaints review system in the health and social services network, led by Martin Saint-Louis, Audit Director, with Fabienne Richer, Project Manager. My most valuable learning:A performance audit requires good planning of audit activities and regular meetings with team members to share information on work in progress and improve team efficiency. How my Canadian colleagues and mentors helped me:I greatly appreciated the professionalism and intellectual generosity of my project manager, Fabienne Richer, who involved me in the entire planning process of our mandate, and the sustained guidance of my mentor, Simon Lauzon, in the conduct of my audit project. What I enjoyed most:The quality control system put in place for the conduct of the audits, the determination of questions of interest to citizens and the National Assembly in the audit objectives, and the attention paid to the evidence particularly appealed to me. My audit plan:Implementation of the Equal Opportunities CardI developed my audit plan with the help of my mentor, Simon Lauzon, Performance Audit Practices Advisor at the VGQ. The connection to my country’s development priorities:The inclusion of people with disabilities remains an important issue for our country in the fight against poverty. The Equal Opportunities Card was introduced for people with disabilities to facilitate their access to basic social services, adequate social protection systems and decent jobs. This audit will determine whether the actors involved in the offer of card-based services have taken appropriate measures to enable cardholders to effectively benefit from the rights and advantages associated with it. How CAAF and my host office helped:My mentor's invaluable advice on techniques for determining the elements of interest within the subject being considered, formulating appropriate audit objectives and criteria, and good planning practices, enabled me to improve how I structured my audit plan in line with the required standards. The skills and knowledge I improved by developing this plan:In developing this plan, I learned how to better define objectives and determine relevant audit criteria. I also understood the need to use methodological tools, in particular the audit logic matrix and the audit program, for proper planning of the audit. My future impact:The new knowledge I’m most excited to share with my colleagues:I look forward to sharing planning tools such as the audit logic matrix and the audit program with my colleagues. The difference I hope to make:The social protection of people with disabilities and their access to basic social services is a prioritized action enshrined in the Plan Sénégal émergent and Senegal's national social protection strategy 2015-2035 to help strengthen their social inclusion. My professional goals:I would like to contribute to the improvement of auditing practices within the Cour des Comptes by sharing the knowledge acquired during training sessions organized by the Court and by putting into practice methodological tools that will ensure the quality of our work. |

My Experience |

The most Canadian thing I did was…I watched maple syrup being made in a sugar shack and tasted maple taffy. My favourite cultural experience in Canada was…Quebec City's outdoor walking show "Où tu vas quand tu dors en marchant" (Where you go when you sleepwalk). This experience allowed me to wander through a huge park across five universes combining theater, circus, music and visual arts. Something few Canadians know about my country is…You can enjoy an exceptional 45-minute walk with lions in Senegal, without leash or chain, in the Fathala reserve in the Fatick region. The lions have been trained to walk with humans since they were very young. All you need to do is hold a stick in your hand, a precious accessory respected by the lions. |
