Audit Division

Internal audit is conducted by a dedicated UNHCR Audit Service, which forms part of Internal Audit Division II that is headquartered at Geneva.

The UNHCR Audit Service, in close cooperation with the UNHCR Audit Coordinator in the Controller's Office, vigorously follows up on outstanding audit recommendations.

UNHCR indicated that, starting in 2005, an annual report of the Oversight Committee to the Executive Committee would constitute an umbrella for the reports submitted for the individual oversight functions (internal audit, inspection, investigation).

The regularity audit will be taken forward through a pre final audit in the last quarter of 2005 and a final audit after the closure of the financial period.

These include the implementation of a web based audit recommendation tracking dashboard (http audit dashboard.undp.org) to manage corporate audit issues, and the establishment of a quality assurance function within the Bureau of Management (BOM) to analyze systemic issues arising from audit observations.
