This includes:
Pre-auditing expenditures before payment
Reviewing contracts
Conducting internal post-audits
Evaluating financial controls
Preparing reports with recommendations for improvement
Strong financial oversight helps promote accountability, transparency, and responsible stewardship of public funds.
