Internal Audit Announcements

The workshop on Internal Audit manual was opened by Mr. Tomislav Mičetić, PEM PAL IA COP Chair, and Ms. Senka Maver, Senior Program Manager, PEM PAL Secretariat (Center of Excellence in Finance).

The participants discussed the way forward for IA COP in ways of creating a common understanding about IA manual, identifying good practices for IA manuals based on information received in advance and through discussion on the workshop. Each country was also asked to reply on the questionnaire that was sent to them prior the event.

After the weekend the second workshop on Training and Certification took place.

The participants discussed how to create a common Body of Knowledge for public sector internal auditors based on the Integration of results of Konrad report (2008), IIA Body of Knowledge (BoK) for internal auditors and Internal Audit Capability Model.

Some 25 representatives of ministries of finance from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Georgia, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Montenegro, Romania, Turkey and Ukraine attended both workshops. Participants emphasized that sharing of best practices and experience is beneficial for learning from one another and important for avoiding discrepancies.

Representatives of the donor institutions participated at the meeting as observers. The OECD Sigma with Mr Jean Pierre Garitte, Mr Joop Vrolijk and Mr Noel Hepworth provided important information to both workshops.
