My audit plan:Agricultural vocational training for rural labourers in Binh Phuoc Province

I developed my audit plan project with the guidance of my mentor, Principal Kimberley Leach of OAG Canada.

The connection to my country’s development priorities:

My audit project will look at agricultural vocational training for rural labourers in Binh Phuoc Province.

Training for rural workers in agriculture helps vulnerable groups, such as poor households, ethnic minorities, and those with disabilities, to get jobs and increase their income, and boosts the local economy in new, green and modern agriculture.

This audit is most related to Vietnam’s target 4.4, under Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4, to “substantially increase the number of youth and adults who have relevant skills, including technical and vocational skills, for employment, decent jobs and entrepreneurship”, and target 5.7, under SDG 5, to “ensure that all women, particularly poor women in rural areas and women from ethnic minority groups, have equal rights to economic resources and equal rights to use land and own other forms of property, inheritance, financial services and natural resources as provided for by national law”.

How CAAF and my host office helped:

The courses provided new knowledge of performance audit, and my mentor’s instruction helped me apply the knowledge to my audit plan. Furthermore, my audit plan was better after I participated in challenge sessions because they helped me realize some important things to add.

The skills and knowledge I improved by developing this plan:

I learned how to scope an audit effectively and how to develop an audit logic matrix. In the future, this will help me to avoid unexpected issues when conducting an audit.
