Pramod Kumar Mandal

Nepal

I work as a Director in the Office of the Auditor General (SAI Nepal). I joined this office in November 2012 as an Audit Officer. Before joining this office, I worked as a secondary school teacher for one and a half years and simultaneously as a radio host in a media house. I completed my Master’s degree in Management from Tribhuvan University in 2015.

Out of my 13 years of audit experience, most of the time I have worked in financial audit. However, in 2019 I worked as a team member on a performance audit topic, and for the past two years I have been working as a team leader in the performance audit directorate.

My goals for the Fellowship

I hope to enhance my knowledge of the audit planning process, evidence collection techniques and audit follow-up mechanisms. Similarly, I am quite interested in leadership development training because it provides the tools and insight needed to better understand team dynamics, foster teamwork and adapt to new challenges.

The impact I hope to make as a graduate Fellow

I hope to return motivated, self-aware and well-equipped with leadership skills. I will organize a knowledge-sharing session to present key takeaways at our office and will volunteer to be involved in the development of follow-up and impact measurement mechanisms at SAI Nepal. With greater knowledge of standards (ISSAI 3000), my goal will be to ensure that best practices are incorporated for high-quality performance audits at SAI Nepal.
