Ram Chandra Ojha

Nepal

I received my Master’s degree in Management in 2006. I joined the Office of the Auditor General of Nepal in 2012 as an Audit Officer, and I am now a Director. Before joining the OAG of Nepal, I worked as a college lecturer and banker.

I have been engaged in performance audit since I joined the OAG and have worked in the Performance Audit Directorate for five years. I worked with the INTOSAI Development Initiative (IDI) to conduct a performance audit on the Institutional Framework for Fighting Corruption (2017). I also had an opportunity to be involved as a team member in the IDI initiative titled “Sustainable Performance Audit Practices in Asia and the Pacific” (phases I and II).

My goals for the Fellowship

The Fellowship will provide an opportunity to enhance my performance audit knowledge and skills as well as my leadership abilities. This learning will provide in-depth knowledge of performance audit planning, execution, reporting and follow-up techniques. The combination of learning while working is a unique value of this Fellowship program.

The impact I hope to make as a graduate Fellow

After completing the Fellowship and coming back to my office, I will present my experience in the presence of the Auditor General and senior management. I will have enhanced knowledge and skills in the field of performance auditing, which will be reflected in my work. I am always open to cooperating and mentoring all the auditors at the office and consulting them as required. I will try to be a change agent in my SAI for promoting performance audit. Ultimately, SAI Nepal, myself, and my country will benefit from this Fellowship.
