As part of its annual workplan, the Office of Internal Audit conducted an audit of WFP operations in Myanmar. The areas in the audit scope included: risk management and management oversight, budget and programming, programme design and implementation of selected activities, assessment and beneficiary targeting, identity management and digital solutions, community feedback mechanisms, and humanitarian access. In addition, the audit carried out tailored reviews of external stakeholder relations management and communication, finance, non-governmental organization management, monitoring activities, cash-based transfers, and security. Assurance activities initiated by the country office in 2024 were noted in so far as they contribute in their design to address gaps in WFP’s global assurance standards. At the time of the audit reporting, however, their operating effectiveness could not be tested and confirmed.
Based on the results of the audit, the Office of Internal Audit reached an overall conclusion of major improvement needed.
