Background

What introductory information should readers be provided with regarding the audited problem or domain? Again, do not create your own text – quote the report! One or two paragraphs preferably.

Scope and objectives of the audit

Find a basic information about the objectives and scope of the audit. Do not create your own text – quote the report! One paragraph is preferred, more only if necessary.

RISK CASES

Find the most interesting cases in the report –the ones, which build the informative value of the report and which are worth sharing with the SAIs community. After selecting the first case, process step by step in line with the following:

Case

The risk-case names will be visible on the report matrix. Let them tell a story – similarly as newspaper article’s sub-headlines do. The title is divided in two parts to emphasise, if possible, the cause-result logic of issues, which auditors find and reveal. It should be generalised, which means to provide auditors with reported risks to be reused in future audits. This is why we avoid particular names or circumstances here.

E.g. in place of:

Cause – Ministry of Finance delayed issue of regulations on government entities’ responsibility in the project E-Tax

Result – Central IT Agency could not effectively coordinate the project E-Tax

We should shape the title like this:

Cause – Delay in regulations’ issue

Result – Reduced ability to coordinate

Thus, the shortcut description of the basic problem can be reused for any other entities and projects.

If you cannot find two elements fill in only the first field.

1st part of the case name: CAUSE

2nd part of the case name: RESULT

Case description. explain what is the content of the case, make reader understand the key elements. Be brief, this part should be composed into the web page – do not overload it with text. For more they should look into the original report. Do not create your own text – quote the report!
