Auditing
Our efforts are geared toward the improvement of the quality and effectiveness of the established elements of the public internal and financial control (PIFC) framework while also taking into account countries' reform plans in PFM. We continue focusing on improving internal and external accountability mechanisms, and increased effectiveness in the use of public funds. We encourage public sector auditors from ministries of finance, line ministries, central banks, supreme audit institutions (SAIs), and other public sector institutions to enhance their skills and competencies needed to fulfill their mandates and increase the impact of their work. We discuss how the digitalization of the public sector leads to new risks, look into the way risk management can be improved, the internal control system strengthened and protected from corrupt behavior and activities.

2025 Highlights
In 2025, we will empower public sector auditors and those working on PIFC through continuous professional development, certification programs, and community-building initiatives. These efforts will enable them to effectively contribute to risk management, accountability, and the fight against fraud and corruption.
For the first time, we will introduce regional on-the-job training, specifically designed to foster skills development and knowledge exchange. Additionally, we will focus on quality assurance, risk management, and governance in central banks, ensuring that internal auditing adds value and supports proper management of emerging risks.
