Auckland, New Zealand: The Pacific Association of Supreme Audit Institutions (PASAI) is delivering a course on report writing skills for auditors from 27 October 2021. This course builds on the popular two-day PASAI Report Writing workshops run in December 2020.
The course incorporates proven blended learning principles and consists of video tutorials, ‘live’ workshops and practical exercises to be completed by participants. Programme material will include examples and best practice guidance from the Office of the Auditor-General, New Zealand.
Sarah Markley (Deputy Secretary-General, PASAI) and Nicole Ayo von Thun (Senior Advisor, International Engagement, Office of the Auditor-General New Zealand) will facilitate the workshops and moderate the feedback on participant coursework.
They will be joined in the ‘live’ workshops by financial auditors, performance auditors, and report writing experts from SAI New Zealand’s Communications and Engagement Team.
Sarah explained the course’s blended learning approach, “The course is designed to encourage active participant engagement at a number of stages throughout the course, both in live workshops and through activities on PASAI’s Learning Platform.
“This will help participants to build report writing capabilities and improve writing standards at their SAI,” she said.
The course aims not only to give participants the knowledge and skills to produce high quality reports, but also to improve their written communication with key stakeholders, such as Parliament/the Legislature, those charged with governance and the media.
PASAI acknowledges the support of the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) and the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).
