Why the DGA office was created

Establishment

  • Brings the major Government audit directorates under one administrative view for coordinated supervision.
  • Links statutory audit, internal audit, quality review, performance review, legal support, and IT enablement.
  • Keeps audit progress, objection follow-up, and department-level coordination visible for faster action.

Mandate

  • Build audit capacity through standard practices, training, systems support, and continuous improvement.
  • Turn audit evidence into timely decision support for departments, schemes, and public finance oversight.
  • Improve transparency by moving communication, monitoring, and para settlement into traceable digital channels.
  • Detect lapses early, support corrective measures, and strengthen confidence in public fund management.
