As part of its annual workplan, the Office of Internal Audit conducted an audit of WFP operations in Angola. The areas in the audit scope included: risk management and oversight, beneficiary management, voucher transfers, monitoring, management of cooperating partners and service provision. The audit covered the period from 1 July 2022 to 31 December 2023. Over this period, WFP expenses amounted to USD 16 million, and the office reached approximately 154,000 beneficiaries.
Based on the results of the audit, the Office of Internal Audit reached an overall conclusion of major improvement needed.
The assessed governance arrangements, risk management and controls were generally established and functioning, but need major improvement to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of the audited entity/area should be achieved. Issues identified by the audit could negatively affect the achievement of the objectives of the audited entity/area. Prompt management action is required to ensure that identified risks are adequately mitigated.
