The Acting Auditor-General of Sierra Leone wishes to inform the general public that the following performance audit reports have been tabled in Parliament on Tuesday 20th May, 2025:
• Performance Audit Report on the Implementation of Youth Empowerment Programmes by the Ministry of Youth Affairs
• Performance Audit Report on the Implementation of Wetland Conservation
• Performance Audit Report on Access to Education for Children with Special Needs
• Performance Audit Report on the Management of Water Catchment by the National Water Resources Management Agency

Section 11(2) (c) of the Audit Service Act of 2014 mandates the Audit Service Sierra Leone (ASSL) to conduct value-for-money and other audits in a bid to ensure that efficiency and effectiveness are achieved in the use of public funds.
In addition to the financial and regularity audits undertaken by the ASSL, performance audit is another type of audit the institution conducts to measure the economy, efficiency, effectiveness, environment and equity with which state institutions expend public resources in the discharge of their various mandates.
In line with the Auditor-General’s mandate, and as a guardian of Sierra Leone’s economic security, the ASSL undertook these performance audits separately, in compliance with the International Standards of Supreme Audit Institutions (ISSAI) and the Performance Audit Guidelines.
