I extend a warm welcome on behalf of the Auditor Generals’ Office. The Auditor Generals’ Office was established under the regional constitution of Somali Region. Its purpose is to serve the public by promoting accountability, transparency and good governance among state institutions entrusted with stewardship of public resources. In this regard it is our duty to ensure that public resources utilized in an economic, efficient and effective manner to improve the lives of citizens.
In this regard it is our duty to ensure that public resources utilized in an economic, efficient and effective manner to improve the lives of citizens.
To discharge our mandate, we develop an annual work plan in consultation with the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of the Peoples’ Somali Region, the legislative branch of the State. While the annual audit plan sets out our overall work program for the year ahead, we also undertake special audit engagements requested the government, the PAC and other relevant stakeholders.
The Audit Act requires the Auditor General to issue audit opinion on the Whole-of-Government Financial Statements prepared by the Financial Controller and submitted by to Minister of Finance and Treasury in accordance with Public Finance Act; reporting on the Whole-of-Government Financial Statements is one of our key priorities for the future.
