Audit Reports

Türkiye is a unique operating context for WFP. As an upper middle-income country with strong government capacity, Türkiye is host to the world’s largest refugee population. WFP’s direct work in Türkiye, as defined in the Interim Country Strategic Plan 2020–2022, aims to support the Government in maintaining its model response of “non-camp solutions” for refugees. The audit focused on the implementation of two activities under a single strategic outcome linked to Sustainable Development Goal 17: (i) provision of assistance to refugees living in camps; and (ii) a new livelihoods activity providing vocational and on-the-job-training to refugees and Turkish nationals. Based on the results of the audit, the Office of Internal Audit reached an overall conclusion of some improvement needed.

As part of its annual work plan for 2013, the Office of Internal Audit conducted an audit of WFP Operations in Syria and the Neighbouring Countries (“Syria Operation”). In addition to the activities within Syria, the audit covered the operations in countries implementing the regional Emergency Operation (EMOP), namely Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt. The audit looked at the activities from 1 January 2012 to 30 April 2013 and at subsequent events up to June 2013. The audit fieldwork, which took place from 27 May to 20 June 2013, included visits to various locations in Jordan and Lebanon. The audit was carried out in accordance with the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing promulgated by the Institute of Internal Auditors.
