Improved management of financial and HR in pursuit of results
SAMCO conducted two audits during this period (partner audits and internal audit). In preparation on the partner audit, Operations conducted audit preparation and spots checks which assisted in reconciliation of partner ageing accounts in particular both ledgers for UNW and partner. This resulted in the 4 partner audits being unqualified. Lessons learnt from this exercise were the following:
(a) Reinforcing confidence between UNW and the partners;
(b) Early detection of erroneously reporting and postings.
(c) Strengthened audit preparations and guidance
(d) Post audit follow up on recommendations from the management report.
(e) Areas that need to be strengthened in management of the partner agreement and reporting
(f) UNW to organise a workshop for partners on orientation of partner agreements and reporting
The Internal Audit was conducted over a two-week period, where Programmatic and Operational business processed were reviewed. Overall, the audit indicated that governance arrangements, risk management practices and controls were generally established and functioning, but need some improvement. The Identified improvement areas were:
(a) Defining the Strategic Note Roadmap for SAMCO and its office typology.
(b) Strenthen Programme Management and Report, which also includes donor reporting.
(c) Effective utilisation of UNW system for reporting
(d) Key positions are recruited to address capacity issues
(e) Strengthened Operational Effectives in Human Resources and Procurement
(f) Identify a diverse pool of partners for a competitive solicitation
(g) Improved BCCMA and security compliance
(h) Effective risk management reporting and compliance
Overall, 23 audit recommendations were identified for the office to address through the audit action plan. Management developed a roadmap in address these recommendations with timeframes and focal persons. From October 2022 to date, 12 action plan recommendations have been reviewed and are awaiting final approval by IAS.
