• This Program objective is to improve internal audit and external auditing functions to contribute in strengthening the oversight functions of PFM. The proposed program is a regional workshop that will be conducted in collaborative partnership with PFTAC working together to strengthen member countries in the Pacific Region. The direct beneficiaries of the Program will be the 7 SAIs Fiji, PNG, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Vanuatu and Cook Islands. For six of these countries the internal audit function is part of the Ministries of Finance and Cook Islands has outsourced this function to a private sector firm. This will contribute to achieving SP3 “High quality and timely audits”.
