Institutional strengthening of the State Audit Office
To enhance accountability of the use of public funds, the European Union commissioned GFA to strengthen the State Audit Office (SAO) in its independence and professional capacity by providing managerial, technical and strategic advice to the SAO.
In particular, GFA provides support to strengthening the independence of SAO in legal and practical terms according to the principles of the Mexico Declaration (ISSAI 10), improving its cooperation with Parliament, and developing capacities in the fields of compliance audit and financial audit. Moreover, our team of audit experts supports the upscaling of modern IT technologies in the planning, implementation and monitoring of the audit process, and strengthens SAO’s advisory role in the context of the ongoing PFM reforms and the implementation of Georgia’s Association Agreement with the European Union.
