IAA publishes list of defaulting entities

The Internal Audit Agency (IAA) has published the list of Covered Entities who have defaulted in submitting to it, required reports and plans.

According to the Agency, the Covered Entities listed, defaulted in the submission of the various reports as of Thursday, 31 December 2020.

Section 16 (3) of the Internal Audit Agency Act and Section 83 of the Public Financial Management Act 2016 (Act 921) requires Covered Entities to periodically submit various reports and plans to the Agency as an assurance that control systems in Covered Entities are working.

Fifty-one entities did not submit their Quarterly Internal Audit Reports while 47 entities did not submit their Annual Internal Audit Plans.

The IAA has therefore advised affected Covered Entities to “submit the required reports to the Agency not later than 28th February 2021.
