Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Transparency International Rwanda (T.I Rwanda) has questioned the Auditor General (AOG)\u2019s report over a particular methodology that \u201cdiscourages\u201d local government entities from being ambitious in their work.<\/p>\n

The anti-corruption watchdog raised the concerns on Friday, March 30, during the dissemination of findings of an analysis it made on the 2020\/2021 OAG\u2019s report, specifically focusing on districts.<\/p>\n

Released annually, T.I Rwanda\u2019s analytical report aims at creating a basis to increase the clarity and transparency of OAG\u2019s reports to the general public and local government officials, and providing evidence-based information for the steering of local public financial management activities.<\/p>\n

In an interview, Marie Immaculee Ingabire, the Chairperson of T.I Rwanda, pointed out that the OAG\u2019s report \u201crather funnily\u201d faults districts when they make more revenue than the targets they had set for a particular year.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019For example, if a district\u2019s annual target was Rwf 15 billion for the financial year but fortunately it makes Rwf 16 billion, the AOG\u2019s report seems to consider that as a failure,\u2019\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis may discourage districts from taking new initiatives to make more revenue.”<\/p>\n

The OAG financial audit methodology comprises a set of interdependent audit work steps. The methodology comprises various procedures which represent a categorization of audit steps in partly sequential and most frequently interdependent manner.<\/p>\n

The OAG says \u201cthe audit teams should remain cognizant of the fact that unlike public establishments and projects, central and local government entities are mainly affected by actions or inactions of the government. These entities will consequently not be affected by most external factors.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

However, T.I Rwanda issued recommendations to districts, different institutions and the City of Kigali. It urged them to put more effort in studies that inform their investment decisions in order to reduce the idle assets being continuously reported.<\/p>\n

Anti-corruption institutions and Rwanda Public Procurement Authority ( RPPA ) should promote preventive monitoring and regulatory interventions especially in procurement of big projects to avoid losses, it added.<\/p>\n
