International Auditors' Fellowships Underway in Canada
This September, CCAF was pleased to welcome the 2012-2013 international Fellows to Canada. During their nine-month Fellowship, they are studying Canadian practices and methodologies, primarily in the area of performance auditing.
Since their arrival, the four Fellows have been hard at work—they have each been assigned to an audit team at the Office of the Auditor General (OAG) of Canada, are participating in a series of professional development activities, and are preparing plans for performance audits to be conducted in their countries.
In December, the Fellows are returning home for three weeks. They will hold meetings with their auditors general and senior managers at their SAIs to provide an update on their Fellowship and discuss the development of their audit plans.
