My FellowshipMy Canadian placement:Office of the Auditor General of British Columbia (OAG BC) My Canadian audit team:I was involved in several audits at OAG BC, including audits on:
My most valuable learning:My most valuable learning is that we all have our parts to play in making our office and country better so we should work together to make life and living better for all. How my Canadian colleagues and mentors helped me:During my time at OAG BC, I really appreciated the help I received in how to identify and assess risk and also the importance of scheduled meetings with team members to discuss the audit and to brainstorm. What I enjoyed most:I enjoyed the interaction with the audit teams, it was inclusive and a great learning experience. I also appreciated being invited to a press briefing with the Auditor General and being able to observe a Public Accounts Committee meeting. My audit plan:Implementation of the Solar Home Energy system in Guyana’s Hinterland and Riverine areasI developed my audit plan with the guidance of my mentor at OAG BC, Greg Morhart, Director, IT Audit. The connection to my country’s development priorities:This audit topic aligns with my country’s development priorities and SDG 7 towards ensuring that stable, reliable and affordable energy is provided to all persons in Guyana within an economically, environmentally and socially sustainable framework. How CAAF and my host office helped:The input of every person at every stage of this Fellowship program has helped me to strengthen my audit plan by giving me new insight into the subject matter so that I can achieve the best outcome while adding value. The skills and knowledge I improved by developing this plan:I learned the importance of ensuring that the line of enquiry is derived from the risk identified and that audit criteria should allow me to conclude against the audit objectives. I will apply this knowledge in developing future audit plans. My future impact:The new knowledge I’m most excited to share with my colleagues:The importance of team meetings at various stages of the audit, templates to have uniformity and training to improve learning and skills. The difference I hope to make:My project will bring more awareness to performance audit and inform the Government about the progress made in implementing national strategies and achieving the SDGs. This will contribute to the development of both citizens and the country. My professional goals:To continue to do my part as an employee in helping the office achieve its mandate while advancing my academic and professional career. |
