Session 4, Group 2: Data completeness and reliability - the role of Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) and how to rely on their work 27 November 2017

Supreme Audit Institutions The highest Audit Institution of a country Oversees the management of public finances, including government revenue from extractive industries Independent and professional

The accountability chain

Three types of audit Financial audit Compliance audit Performance audit

Example of audit Zambia: Mineral royalty tax calculation: production volume*copper price*royalty tax % Risk: Under-reporting of production volumes results in less mineral royalty tax Audit result (2016 audit report): - Ministry of Mines does not receive production returns from all companies - Mineral royalty tax calculated based on mining companies self-declaration - Ministry of Mines does not share production volume reports with Zambia Revenue Authority - Ministry of Mines does not carry out inspection on exit points

Example of audit Kenya: IT Audit of the accounting system, IFMIS Used to record government revenue, including extractive industries revenue http://www.nation.co.ke/news/State-audit-finds-serious-loopholes-in-Ifmis-system/1056-3509548-uu8xr1z/index.html

Lesson learned? SAIs are in a unique position to audit the whole extractive industries value chain Access to information Independent Cour de Comptes vs Inspection generale des finances

Lessons learned? IT audit is important! Encourage the SAIs to perform IT audit on the financial accounting system used for recording revenue It will give you assurance on whether or not to rely on government revenue figures prepared by Ministry of Finance

International standards of Supreme Audit Institutions (ISSAIs) Internationally recognized auditing standards for public auditing Developed and maintained by the International Organisation for Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI) Applying the ISSAIs is the best way to ensure quality of audits

How to rely on the work of SAIs - ways of measuring quality Sources of verification: Supreme Audit Institution Performance Measurement Framework (SAI PMF) Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability (PEFA) Indicators 30 and 31

SAI PMF assessment SAIs are assessed on a number of indicators Quality of audit work is assessed and scored; 0-4 The framework also includes cour de comptes Domain A SAI Reporting Score SAI-1 Financial Audit Results 1 SAI-2 Compliance Audit Results SAI-3 Performance Audit Results 2 SAI-4 Judgment Results 3 Applying the framework enables you to have an opinion on whether the independent assessor (the SAI) conforms with the requirements in 4.9 of the EITI standard
