According to the Vice President, automation of the audit process is part of the ongoing Public Financial Management reforms aimed at enhancing efficiency in the public sector.


“It is sad to say that while almost all government systems are either automated or are in the process of being automated, the Audit Service is still using manual auditing processes. Imagine the irony and the ineffectiveness of auditing automated systems using manual auditing processes.


“I am happy to say that following from the mid-term review of the PFM project, the Audit Service has been allocated $1.5million to be used in automating the auditing process. A fully automated Audit Service will take the role of protecting the public purse to a level higher than it is today.”

“It is time for the Audit Service to go paperless,” Vice President Bawumia declared.
