My goals for the Fellowship

Through participation in the Fellowship program, I anticipate acquiring practical experience in executing performance audits and enhancing my proficiency in report writing. Additionally, I aim to learn and implement techniques and methodologies shared from experienced professional auditors, thereby elevating the caliber and impact of performance audit projects I undertake.

The impact I hope to make as a graduate Fellow

Upon completion of the Fellowship, I aspire to disseminate the expertise acquired from my mentors and colleagues, conducting impactful performance audits within my SAI and across the region, particularly through application of the gender lens.
