Development of Parliamentary Oversight Functions

Public Accounts Committees (PAC) have an important role in strengthening a Parliament’s oversight and scrutiny function. A PAC is typically viewed as being the highest-level institution for financial scrutiny and for promoting transparency in the management of public funds. Our technical assistance (1) provided the Members of the Senate and House of Assembly, and Senate and House of Assembly support personnel with relevant capacity development initiatives and other technical and institutional support; (2) delivered best practice knowledge, advice and expertise; and (3) prepared appropriate guidelines and standards. The combined impact of these interventions aimed at specifically enabling the PAC to discharge its responsibilities and mandate with greater efficiency and effectiveness, whilst also providing more general interventions to all members of the Senate and House of Assembly so that they have the capacity to raise issues on the management of public finances by the Executive.
