 "Auditing is a critical function that ensures effective and efficient use of public resources. As Auditors, you play a vital role in ensuring that the government's financial statements are accurate and reliable. Your work is essential in safeguarding public assets for their intended purposes. It is the cornerstone of ensuring that public resources are used effectively, efficiently and transparently. Therefore, the work you do as auditors is critical to the success of our dear State and its citizens", he stated

"As Auditors, you are expected to maintain high standards of integrity, professionalism and independence. You are also expected to communicate your findings and recommendations to the appropriate authorities and stakeholders in a timely manner. Failure to perform these roles has consequences that are too weighty to be imagined', the HoS advised.
