My FellowshipMy Canadian placement:Office of the Auditor General (OAG) of Manitoba My Canadian audit team:I was part of a team conducting an audit on managing the risk of using cloud service providers, led by Principal Ian Montefrio. My most valuable learning:I appreciated learning about entity relation skills, as it helps me present our goal of improving performance audits as a win-win situation to the client. During the leadership training, I learned about using influence to change or accomplish things that are beyond my control. The key is asking “how can I do this?”. How my Canadian colleagues and mentors helped me:My mentors and colleagues gave me opportunities to practice what I learned during my training sessions. They patiently shared their knowledge and experience with me, and I appreciate all their support. What I enjoyed most:I appreciated how helpful everyone was with both office tasks and my project. Many people showed genuine interest in the project I was working on and were always willing to share ideas or resources to support me. My audit plan:The impact of information communication technology in rural and remote communities in GuyanaI developed my audit plan with the guidance of my mentor at the OAG of Manitoba, Wade Bo-Maguire, Assistant Auditor General, IT and Innovation. The connection to my country’s development priorities:My audit topic involves the UN Sustainable Development Goal of increasing the access to information communication technology (ICT) and striving to provide affordable access to the internet in least developed countries. The focus is on assessing how effectively internet access is provided in the most remote communities. This will result in reduced inequality since residents of these communities are unlikely to receive the benefits of ICT unless provided through an effective government program. The results will also have an impact on the possibility of virtual learning, economic opportunities, and health care services. How CAAF and my host office helped:Training through CAAF guided my decisions when developing my audit plan. The support through mentoring and the valuable critique of challenge sessions helped improve the design of my audit plan. The skills and knowledge I improved by developing this plan:I learned how to keep the scope of the project manageable. This will be extremely helpful in planning future audit projects. My future impact:The new knowledge I’m most excited to share with my colleagues:The importance of planning a project properly. We can’t plan forever, but it is important to plan properly since it can save us time and keep us from carrying out work that isn’t relevant. Our office has limited resources, so keeping the scope manageable will enable us to maximise the benefit we receive from the time spent on audit projects. The difference I hope to make:Performance audits can be extremely beneficial in helping to assess the design and implementation of a program as well as evaluating the effectiveness of the delivery. Audits that are SDG-focused will help us to measure our progress relating to the economic, social, and environmental goals we have set. My professional goals:My goal is to continue to improve in planning performance audits and to share my knowledge with colleagues. |
