Performance auditing was introduced into the Audit Service in 2002 as part of a capacity building project funded by the European Union. Phase I of the European Union project involved establishing a Performance Audit Section to conduct audits of Government operations. Special Audit Unit Section 16 of the Audit Service Act,2000 (Act 584) states that the Auditor-General may in addition to the audit of public accounts, carry out in the public interest, such special audits or reviews as he/she considers necessary and shall submit a report on the audit or reviews undertaken to Parliament. The Audit Service has in fact conducted special audits over a long period, both prior and subsequent to the above legislation.
