I am pleased to present my annual report for the financial year ended March 31, 2015. The report is divided into 7 sections and highlights the key findings of audits conducted between January and October 2015. The Department has actively sought to implement several strategies in support of the Government of Jamaica Vision 2030 National Outcome 6, “strengthening public institutions to deliver efficient and effective public goods and services.” In ensuring that the audit work reflects emerging risks and meet the needs of stakeholders, the Department continued its efforts to expand the types of audits undertaken. In devising the audit plan for the financial year ended March 31, 2015, I thought it necessary to assess governance practices within public sector entities paying special attention to monitoring and evaluation mechanisms.
