Audit Reports

As part of its annual work plan, the Office of Internal Audit conducted an audit of WFP’s delivery through non-governmental organizations and cash-based transfers in Iraq, focusing on the period from 1 January 2018 to 30 September 2019. The audit team conducted the fieldwork from 3 to 20 November 2019 at the country office premises in Baghdad and Erbil, and through on-site visits to project sites in Erbil, Dohuk and Sulaymaniyah. Based on the results of the audit, the Office of Internal Audit came to an overall conclusion of partially satisfactory / some improvement needed.

WFP in Yemen aims to save lives and protect livelihoods in emergencies, and specifically increase food consumption through the scale-up of life-saving emergency food assistance, particularly among the most food insecure population, as well as to expand coverage of nutrition interventions to prevent and treat moderate acute malnutrition. The political and operational context in Yemen is one of the most complex and challenging for WFP. Over four years of protracted conflict have left the country’s critical economic and civil infrastructure in ruins; displaced more than three million people; led to significant loss of income and livelihoods; increased prices of basic foods up to double pre-crisis levels; and pushed the economy close to a downfall. Based on the results of the audit, the Office of Internal Audit has come to an overall conclusion of partially satisfactory/some improvement needed.

“Third-party” refers to any individual or organization external to WFP that interacts with WFP’s information assets including applications, services, infrastructure or data. Third-party includes, but is not limited to, technology service providers, programme implementation partners and strategic digital partners. Based on the results of the audit, the Office of Internal Audit has come to an overall conclusion of partially satisfactory/major improvement needed.
