The Financial Audit Department of the Government of Dubai is the supreme audit institution in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. We met them in 2016 when invited to create an innovative approach to address the challenges in auditing the public sector entities. In this way, the client had its capabilities on Performance Audit consolidated bases on our models of excellence.
Approach
Firstly we revised and recalibrated the client`s auditing procedure, for a smooth integration of our Performance Management System Maturity Model. A model dedicated to the public sector was piloted, considering the client`s area of activity. The approach paid due consideration to the regulations applied by the governmental bodies.
We provided extended guidance on how to evaluate based on the newly integrated model, also ensuring a smooth transition to the new audit methodology. An approach targeting audit stealiming was followed, leading to relevance enhancement. We introduced an evidence-based approach to prevent over or under-estimation when it comes to maturity scores.
The skills and competencies for Performance Management Audit were developed during the offline and online training. In this way, the key stakeholder within the client organization was trained to effectively use the revised Audit Framework. Besides, we completed the quality assurance for the first audits conducted by the client using the new methodology.
