Our Mandate

DIA's mandate, established under the Public Finance Act, is to provide independent and objective assurance over the use of public resources across Government.

Scope of Work

Audit coverage spans all Ministries, Departments and Agencies — covering financial, operational, IT and compliance reviews aligned with national priorities.

Audit Services

Financial, compliance, performance and information-systems audits, plus special investigations and follow-up engagements across the public sector.

Authority

DIA derives its authority from the Public Finance Act and supporting regulations, granting unrestricted access to records, personnel and premises of audited entities.

Advisory & Coordination

Beyond assurance, DIA advises MDAs on internal control design, coordinates the internal-audit profession, and reports systemic findings to Government.

Responsibility

Auditors uphold integrity, due care and professional standards — while audited entities remain responsible for their own controls and risk management.
