Pacific Audit Offices’ Human Resource Management Capability Strengthened

Auckland, New Zealand: - The Pacific Association of Supreme Audit Institutions (PASAI) in collaboration with the Swedish National Audit Office (SNAO) is delivering an online Human Resource Management training program from 26 August 2020 to 10 December 2020. The objective of this program is to provide technical support to SAIs in the Pacific region on developing and operationalising their Human Resource (HR) strategy. With the uncertainties and closure of international borders, PASAI is using a blended learning approach, with a focus on online learning in the short to medium term. This is PASAI’s first online training since the pandemic.

This program has been designed in response to a SAI needs assessment conducted at the PASAI Congress 2019. Sixteen SAI staff (9 male, 7 female) from government audit offices across the North and South Pacific region are participating in this program. Participating SAIs include the Republic of Fiji, the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), FSM States of Pohnpei and Yap, Kiribati, and Papua New Guinea. The Heads of SAI Pohnpei and Yap will also participate in this program, underlining the strategic importance of HR management and practices to the effective operations of a public audit office.

The training focuses on the role of HR in SAIs and how SAIs ensure that they can achieve success and realise its strategic goals through the development of their staff. Topics covered will include:

• The evolution of HR

• A comparison of the role of HR in the SAI to the role of the Public Service Commission (PSC)

• The four key roles of HR practitioners in the SAI

• The importance of HR management in the SAI

• An introduction to the Employee Life Cycle and its purpose in terms of managing human resources

The participants will be guided online by the facilitation team of experts on how to develop their respective SAI’s HR strategy. The participants will work in peer networks to support each other, to share experiences and to build sustainable HR practices in their SAIs. Where relevant, templates for various HR processes will be shared and participants will be trained on how to use these templates.

One of PASAI’s strategic priorities is to enhance SAI capacity and capability by supporting SAIs to improve their approaches to managing human resources and related matters. The effectiveness of a SAI depends on its ability to recruit, retain, and employ highly skilled and motivated staff. Despite the traditional role that the PSC plays in managing human resources across the public sector, the SAI’s management team is responsible to ensure that the SAI has the right staff with the right skill set at the right time.

The challenges posed by the pandemic meant that PASAI had to redefine and reinvent its programs and delivery approach to respond swiftly to its members’ development needs. With limited time and resources and recognizing the importance of partnership within the INTOSAI community, PASAI sought the assistance of SNAO to develop and deliver this online support. PASAI has engaged SNAO’s assistance in earlier leadership and management programs and has built a strong partnership with SNAO and is committed to the INTOSAI motto of “mutual experience benefits all”. We are excited with this collaboration between PASAI and other members of the INTOSAI community, in our efforts to strengthen the capabilities of Pacific SAIs in managing their human resources.

The facilitation team includes Ingela Ekblom, Senior Advisor – SNAO International Department, Marianna Van Niekerk, AFROSAI-E Institutional Human Resource and Organizational Development Manager, Tinna Bondestam, Consultant, and Sinaroseta Palamo-Iosefo, PASAI Director Practice Development.

Office of the Chuuk State Public Auditor releases a Petty Cash Fund Report

OFFICE OF THE CHUUK STATE PUBLIC AUDITOR

PRESS RELEASE NO. 2020-01

The Office of the Chuuk State Public Auditor (OCPA) announces the release of an Inspection and Evaluation of Petty Cash Fund, which covered the fiscal year 2017 to 2020. Reports may be made available by request to any interested individual at the OCPA in Nantaku, Weno, Chuuk.

The Public Auditor’s authority is based on the Chuuk State Constitution Article VIII Section 9 and Truk State Law 6-21 which states in part:

“The Auditor shall conduct audits of all financial transactions of all branches, departments, offices, agencies, and instrumentalities of the government, and of all accounts kept by or for them.”

We conducted this inspection in accordance with the 2011 US Quality Standards for Inspection and Evaluation issued by Council of Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency.

The objective of this audit included determining the adequacy of controls on petty cash fund.

The results of the audit disclosed that the Treasury had implemented inadequate  controls  to  protect the Petty Cash Fund. Specifically, our inspection and evaluation have disclosed the following weaknesses:

1.  Inadequate Written Procedures Could Potentially Lead to Misuse, Abuse and Misappropriation of Funds Without Timely Detection

2.  Non-compliances of payments with the Existing Written Control Procedures

3.  Absence of Periodic Surprise Cash Count and Periodic Checking Could Result in Discrepancies and Missing Funds not Detected Timely.

The audit recommendations, if implemented, will strengthen the internal controls on Petty Cash Fund to prevent the risks of fraud, abuse and misuse of the petty cash funds.

The Department of Administrative Services submitted a Management Response, which was in agreement to the findings. We included such response in the final report.

PASAI SECRETARIAT LOCKDOWN PERIOD DUE TO COVID-19

An important message from PASAI Chief Executive - Mr Tiofilusi Tiueti

All our countries and our people are affected by this calamity. Each of our countries has put out strict preventive measures to protect and counter the spread of the coronavirus. PASAI also acknowledge and grateful for the ongoing support from your respective organisations to Pacific countries to strengthen their internal resources to fight against this pandemic.

As you may be aware, on Tuesday, 23 March 2020, New Zealand went into alert level 3 and moving to alert level 4 in 48 hours. This means a national lockdown by today, Wednesday 24 March 2020 for four (4) weeks, and non-essential services are to work from home. The four (4) weeks lockdown could be longer so we will keep you updated as things evolve.

Because of that, the PASAI Secretariat office lockdown was effective from the close of business yesterday, Tuesday 24 March 2020. PASAI staff are now working from home and will be for the next four weeks or until the lockdown period is lifted. However, please note that we are still working as usual and accessible to any of our staff can still be made via work emails, telecon (to our mobile numbers), skype etc.  Please don’t call the office telephone number as there is no one at the office to answer your call.   

The lockdown also means that the delivery of some of our planned programs will be deferred/delayed to a future period, which we will confirm once we have some degree of certainty. Meanwhile, PASAI is taking this as an opportunity to explore innovative ways to deliver our programs, liaise with SAIs to prioritise programs, and strengthen resources in the Secretariat to be able to respond to SAI needs at times of adversity, as we are now.  

To ensure we continue planning, each of the PASAI Directors continued to liaise with the member SAIs to obtain updated information on the SAI situation in terms of ability to interact on a program especially if part of that program is to be delivered online/remotely.

We understand that it is a fluid situation and evolves rapidly day by day. However, we will continue to find ways to continue delivering programs to meet SAI needs and will come out stronger.

Should you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact me at tiofilusi.tiueti@pasai.org.

We wish that you all continue to stay safe during these uncertain times.

SOLOMON ISLANDS OFFICE OF THE AUDITOR GENERAL STRIVE TOWARDS AUDIT QUALITY

Honiara, Solomon Islands (25 March 2020) – Solomon Islands Office of the Auditor General (SIOAG) is the second Pacific SAI to receive support from the Pacific Association of Supreme Audit Institution (PASAI), as part of a regional program to build the capacity of auditors in conducting the audit of the Financial Statements of Government (FSGs), in accordance with International Standards of Supreme Audit Institutions (ISSAIs). Facilitated and led by PASAI’s Director Technical Support, A’eau Agnes Aruwafu, the workshop was delivered on 9-20 March 2020 to SIOAG staff in Honiara, Solomon Islands.

Mr. Peter Lokay, Auditor-General of the Solomon Islands opened the workshop reinforcing his focus on the need for quality audits through building of auditor’s skills and knowledge in conducting high-quality financial audits according to ISSAIs. The workshop started by  providing an overview of the ISSAI requirements and describing the proposed “Solomon Islands Methodology” (S.I.M). Participants then conducted an assessment of the existing audit practice using the iCAT-FA[1] tool,  identified gaps, and suggested improvements to the SIOAG’s audit methodology.   This resulted in an update and refinement of the audit practice including giving the audit methodology an acronym “S.I.M” which stands for “Solomon Islands Methodology”.  The productive discussions at the workshop was a catalyst for some excellent insight that resulted in the development of the TeamMate template under the new Solomon Islands Methodology. 

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic affected the second week of the workshop. A  needed COVID-19 SAI awareness meeting, compulsory for all staff, was held and presented by the Deputy Auditor-General, Ms. Rachel McKechnie. Also,  the PASAI’s Director Technical Support was recalled back to Auckland, two days earlier than planned.  Despite the unexpected developments, SIOAG capable team were highly motivated to continue the workshop, under the remote guidance of the Director Technical Support,   for the remaining two days.  An excellent outcome amidst adversity - highlighting the excellent work ethic of the SIOAG staff and their commitment to take ownership and  strive towards audit quality.

Learning from the first rollout of this program in SAI Tuvalu, the experience and lessons learned helped inform the approach for SAI Solomon Islands.  The understanding of the use of TeamMate as a tool within the audit practice will inform the approach to be rolled out in other SAIs that use Teammate, such as Fiji,  Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Tonga and Vanuatu  – all of whom are dedicated to working towards high-quality audits in compliance with ISSAIs.

Following this intervention, a quality assurance peer review will be conducted by participating SAIs in this regional program to ascertain whether the learnings from the workshop have been applied to the FSGs audit and the objective of this programme has been achieved.

-----END----

Background:

This program is part of a roadmap for PASAI and its member SAIs to give full effect to the Strategic Priority 3 (SP3) of PASAI’s Long Term Strategy 2014-2024 (“Strategy”), for the second half of the Strategy’s term (i.e. from 2019 to 2024).  The Roadmap is part of the PASAI approach to SAI Support for 2019-2024 which was presented to the Government Board in August 2019.   In particular, this program will focus on building sustainable capacity for SAIs to enable them to conduct audits according to the International Standards of Auditing according to their authoritative standards (that is: ISSAIs or ISA).   Furthermore, other PASAI programs will contribute to the high quality of audits to ensure sustainability within the SAI and also highlights the interdependencies between PASAI Strategic Priorities. The need for this program is driven by the SAI Needs that were obtained during the 2019 PASAI Congress and through ongoing dialogue with the PASAI Secretariat.

Chuuk SAI audits the Political Status Commission

The Office of the Chuuk State Public Auditor (OCPA) announces the release of Audit Report No. 2019-03, a performance audit entitled Chuuk State Political Status Commission (PSPSC): Funds Could Have Been Used More Productively and Economically, which covered the fiscal year 2013 to 2018. Reports may be made available by request to any interested individual at the OCPA in Nantaku, Weno, Chuuk. The Public Auditor’s authority is based on the Chuuk State Constitution Article VIII Section 9 and Truk State Law 6-21 which states in part: “The Auditor shall conduct audits of all financial transactions of all branches, departments, offices, agencies, and instrumentalities of the government, and of all accounts kept by or for them.” We conducted the performance audit in accordance with US General Audit Standards.

Office of the Chuuk State Public Auditor Press Release-Audit on Federal Grant Receivable

PRESS RELEASE 2019/01

This is to announce the release of Audit Report No. 2019-01 entitled Federal Grants: Monies Advanced not Reimbursed. This performance audit covered the period beginning fiscal year 2016 to fiscal year 2018. It was conducted in accordance with Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards issued by the US Comptroller General. Aside from the Sector grant that Chuuk receives as its share of Compact money, it is also receiving different federal grants from US federal agencies to fund various federal programs such as Special Education, the Substance Abuse & Mental Health (SAMH) program and the Comprehensive Cancer Control (CCC) program. These federal grants are the main source of funding for the twenty-plus programs that provide valuable services to the citizens of Chuuk. The nature of these federal grants is generally reimbursable; this means that Chuuk government must first expend its own money before collecting the reimbursement for its expenditures from the different federal agencies. Whenever advances by the Chuuk government were not fully collected at fiscal year-end, an account receivable is recorded. Close monitoring of accounts and prompt resolution of issues should allow Chuuk government to be able to fully reimburse its advances the following fiscal year or before the expiry of grant. This audit determined whether all monies advanced by the Chuuk State Government for the purpose of running the different federally funded programs were collected in full by the Chuuk State Finance Funds Division. It was disclosed that there was uncollected advance of roughly $397,000 which comprised of accumulated amounts related to previous fiscal years up to the end of fiscal year 2018. It was further noted that a portion of the uncollected advance was not separately accounted for per federal program. Finally, it was observed that there was grant underutilization during the period. The Department of Administrative Services concurred with the finding and the two recommendations provided in the audit report. Reports may be made available to any interested individual by request at the OCPA in Nantaku, Weno, Chuuk.
