Ogunlana spoke during a three-day, in-house training organised for team members in core Audit Directorates of the Office of the Auditor-General for Local Governments, in collaboration with Bold Perception Integrated Resource Limited.

The Permanent Secretary stated that the capacity-building programme would focus on professional and generic modules to keep the auditors abreast of the processes and procedures of the new audit template.

His words: “It is expedient to further acclimatise auditors with the on-going restructuring introduced to understand the modus operandi of their roles in the transition process. The training is geared towards a clearer interpretation of the new Audit engagement template and its effective implementation in carrying out audit functions in Local Governments/Local Council Development Areas/Local Government Education Authorities and other Allied Agencies”.

“The capacity-building programme was also designed to focus on soft skill professional topics to keep Auditors abreast of the Public Service Rules, Work Ethics, Team Building/Bonding and work-life balance to enhance effective and efficient productive life”, he added.
