Strengthening Tanzania's Fiduciary Risk Assurance

Description

KPMG Tanzania has been selected by DFID as the service provider to implement the FRA programme. KPMG is providing technical support, advice and capacity building on fiduciary risk management for government, civil society and other development organisations in Tanzania. Areas of support and advice include governance, management oversight and financial controls. The objectives of the FRA programme are to: i. improve efficiency and effectiveness of partner organisations and government institutions by strengthening internal controls; ii. improve capacity of staff in selected organisations (and DFID) to minimise and manage fiduciary risk; and iii. drive value for money and safeguard public funds in relation to UK aid flows. The programme will deliver on DFID’s Tanzania Anti-Corruption and Counter Fraud Strategy and is expected to support the achievement of the 2016-2020 Business Plan objectives. The three year programme of support began on 23 July 2018, and there is the possibility of a one and a half year extension. The three month inception phase ended on 22 October 2018. KPMG’s FRA Team will deliver services to DFID and its partners through the following five programme components: 1. In-depth system reviews of NGOs and private suppliers; 2. Due diligence and fiduciary capacity assessments; 3. Government partners’ oversight systems strengthening; 4. Interpretation of finance and assurance reports; and 5. Additional strategic and demand-driven technical support.
