Advice and Assistance for Adopting Auditor Roles and Practices
If you are a government audit executive or manager and you want to increase your audit office’s contribution to improving government performance and accountability, we can provide advisory and technical assistance services to help you build appropriate audit practices into your annual audit plan. Based on your audit shop’s current skills and capacity, your knowledge of the state of performance management in your government, and the kinds of improvements you want to encourage, we will help you determine which of the 5 roles and 14 audit practices in our Framework of Auditor Roles and Practices provide the best opportunities for your shop. We can also help you build these practices into your audit plan. For some new practices, we can critique draft audit programs to get you off to a good start. Contact us to learn how this service can help your audit shop.
In this difficult fiscal environment it is more important than ever to expand your toolkit of audit services so you can continue to provide high value services to your government. Can you better serve your government by auditing performance management systems? By auditing the reliability of performance data or the relevance of performance measures? By assessing the quality of performance reports? By assisting management or elected officials? These are just some of the practices we can help you improve or adopt, and add to your audit plan.
While not required, it can be useful to combine our advice and assistance with our training so your staff can develop skills needed to implement new practices. See our course descriptions and instructor bios. Another option is to have your auditors or audit managers take our New Service Model course, which covers all 14 audit practices related to performance measurement and management, to determine which practices offer the best opportunities for your audit office. Then we can provide assistance to help you adopt those practices. But the purpose of this service is not to sell our training, but to help audit offices increase the value they add to improving government performance. We can consult with you by phone or e-mail to determine the best approach for your audit shop.
We can provide this service on site, or we can provide remote advice and assistance by phone, e-mail, or online meetings with you or your team.
Contact us now to learn more and make use of this valuable service.
Our advice and assistance consultants are our project principals, who all have decades of experience helping government organizations improve performance management. They are all recipients of the Harry Hatry Distinguished Performance Measurement Practice Award, for lifetime achievement, from the American Society for Public Administration.
