Montenegrin Internal Auditors Successfully Concluded International Training

Successful students of the second generation of the Training of Internal Auditors in Public Sector (TIAPS) in Montenegro were awarded the international certificates of the Chartered Institute for Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) at the program closing ceremony on December 15, 2014 in Podgorica.

This one-year professional qualification program was made possible through funding from the German Stability Pact Fund and in kind contributions of Ministry of finance of Montenegro and Center of Excellence in Finance (CEF). The CEF implemented the program and the CIPFA ensured its quality and awarded international certificates.

The training was part of the Montenegrin Government’s effort to build and strengthen professional qualifications of public sector internal auditors. "CIPFA certificates are official confirmation of expertise, knowledge and skills in the area of internal audit and the most effective tool in the fight against corruption," emphasized CEF Director, Ms. Mira Dobovišek.

German Ambassador, Ms. Gudrun Steinacker praised the efforts of the Montenegrin government to follow the European standards also in the field of internal audit, and conveyed the readiness of Germany to support the continuation of the training in Montenegro.
