Building Capacity to Conduct Real-Time Audits

Nigeria 2006 - 2008

DPK assisted the Nigerian government to advance its anticorruption program by working to strengthen its national integrity and fiscal transparency systems. DPK built the capacity of Nigeria's Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (AGF) and Auditor General's Office (AGO) to use the electronic Transaction Recording and Reporting System (TRRS), enabling the AGF to complete the consolidation of accounting information from all ministries and agencies in a timely manner, thereby ensuring that updated data is used to perform real-time audits of government agencies, offices, and ministries. DPK coordinated with other donor-funded initiatives to modernize the networking and IT capacities of the AGF and various ministries, and developed training programs for both the AGF and AGO on the maintenance and use of the TRRS system to conduct audits.
