Para 7.2.20 — MSO (Audit)
Original Rule Text
7.2.20 On completion of audit and review by the Central Audit Party and after being vetted by the Central Audit Support Section, the audit notes/memos will be issued in original over the signature of an Audit Officer in convenient batches every month to the
departments concerned with copies being sent to the Accountant General (A&E). The Central Audit Support Section will thereafter deal with the audit notes/memos and all related correspondence.
What This Means
After the Central Audit Party completes its audit and the Central Audit Support Section vets (reviews) the findings, audit notes and memos are issued in original under an Audit Officer's signature. They are sent in convenient monthly batches to the concerned departments, with copies going to the Accountant General (A&E). After dispatch, the Central Audit Support Section handles all subsequent correspondence related to these audit notes.

A Central Audit Party completes its audit of the Education Department in February. The findings are compiled into audit notes, vetted by the Central Audit Support Section, and signed by the Audit Officer. In the first week of March, the audit notes are dispatched in a batch to the Education Department with copies to the AG (A&E). When the department responds with clarifications in April, the Central Audit Support Section handles the correspondence.
