Principal accounts

This provides a management summary of key audit recommendations raised by the UNBOA with updates on key issues.

for the year ended 31 December 2004

The major audit observations (61 per cent) are in the following key areas financial management (18 per cent) audit management (14 per cent) Information and communications technology (ICT) management (10 per cent), treasury management (10 per cent) and procurement management (9 per cent).

In the light of that situation and of the restrictions that the General Assembly has placed on cross borrowing between some accounts, the report will consider the major categories of activity separately.

In addition, I have the honour to present the report of the Board of Auditors with respect to the above accounts, including an audit opinion thereon.
