Internal audit as a monitoring instrument

The Unit for Internal Audit in the MFA conducts inspections of the Ministry's operative units and Finland's diplomatic and consular missions abroad. Internal audits of development cooperation are used to examine whether projects and programmes have been subject to sufficient and effective controls.

Another objective is to assess if the modalities ensure that the funds are used for the intended purpose. On the basis of its assessments, the Unit for Internal Audit makes recommendations for improving oversight and risk management and monitors the implementation of its recommendations.
