PRESENTATION TO THE
   PARTNERS OF IG MPW
IndII Activity P243-02: Governance Reform
   in Internal Audit Function (IG-MPW)
Why AusAID?
GoA is a leader and a strong proponent of
  Good Governance
    and
  Accountability

in the belief that countries that receive
GoA aid and have the two attributes,
improve the effectiveness of aid and
reduce corruption. These goals are in line
with the Paris Declaration.
                                             3
The Paris Declaration
In March 2005, representatives of developed and developing
countries (including Australia) meeting at the High Level
Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Paris “resolve[d] to take far-
reaching and monitorable actions to reform the ways we
deliver and manage aid”. The result was the Paris Declaration
on Aid Effectiveness

Selected Summary of Indicators of Progress
1. Partners have operational development strategies
2. Partners have reliable public financial management and
   procurement systems
3. Capacity will be strengthened by coordinated support

THIS PROGRAM FALLS WITHIN THE GUIDELINES & PRIORITIES

                                                                4
Why AusAID Supports the IG
The IG
 understands that changes must be made to improve
  the operations in order to meet GoI obligations as IG
  and to make the unit into Professional Auditors
 was the primary mover in proposing the Reform
  Agenda – he is the Change Agent
 is Chairman of the 565+ IGs in GoI & wants to
  continue a leadership role to set an example
 Believes this experience can be a template to
  replicate at other IG Operations
 understands the challenges going forward and has
  shown ownership
 wants to work with AusAID

Background
Background
• Early 2009, IG proposed a Reform Agenda (RA) for better
  value-added services to MPW on budget impact,
  infrastructure development and activity safeguards.
• Indicative trigger for World Bank’s IDPL 4: Adoption of an
  Action Plan to strengthen staff capacity and introduce modern
  RBIA methodology & practices to provide assurance on
  internal control systems and compliance.
• Initial discussions identified the need for continuing support
  over stages, grouped by achievements / identified
  deliverables.
• IndII support commenced in June 2009;
• Earlier IndII support helped IG to improve and strengthen its
  capacity / technical ability to do internal audit work at MPW.
• However, although substantial groundwork for fundamental
  auditing using RBIA techniques has been established, there
  are fundamental “roadblocks” within the IG structure and
  operations that must be resolved if the gains made to date
  are to be maintained and further improved.
                                                               10
Therefore, it was timely to consider other critical areas of
    improvement, to ensure sustainability of progress

In order to have sustainability:
Processes must have the ability to be repeated

In order to repeat processes
there must be a supporting infrastructure with
  systems that are imbedded and
  institutionalized.

          IG MPW as The Change Agent (with AusAID / IndII support)
An entirely new program, both in scope and approach
• Although it builds on the prior Activities of IndII
  support to the IG, we concluded there was a serious
  danger that gains made may not be sustained longer-
  term and be capable of being used as building blocks
  for further improvements unless fundamental
  roadblocks such as updated relevant management
  structures and support mechanisms were addressed;
  therefore the importance of IACM (Pillar 1).
• In addition, GoI is now more focused on eliminating
  (or at least reducing) corruption; thus Pillar 2, a
  concentration on improving procurement practices,
  doing better and more procurement auditing and
• Pillar 3 - creating / monitoring a corruption-free
  environment.

                                  14
Agenda

The IA-CM
  – Its structure and underlying concepts
  – Principles in its application
  – Using the IA-CM




                                             15



                                            15
What is the IA-CM?


• A universal model with comparability – principles,
  processes and practices
• To be used globally to improve internal auditing
• Framework for assessing capabilities against standards
  and practices
• Communication vehicle for defining and advocating
  the importance of internal auditing
• Roadmap and toolkit for orderly improvement
                                                      16
Underlying Principles


IA Activity’s Obligations
• Be an integral component of effective governance in the
   public sector
• Assist organizations achieve their objectives and account for
   their results
Organization’s Obligations
• Determine optimum level of IA capability to support required
   governance structures
• Achieve and maintain the desired capability
                                                                  17



                                                              17
Underlying Principles

Selecting Optimum Capability
• Three variables
   – Environment
   – Organization
   – IA Activity
• Different capability required
• Auditing must be cost-effective
• No “one size fits all”

Using the IA-CM as an Assessment Tool

• Understand the purpose and structure of the IA-CM
• Identify the KPAs that appear to be institutionalized by
  the IA activity
• Obtain and review documentation re: IA activity,
  organization, and environment
• Interview managers/stakeholders
• Confirm the actual KPAs institutionalized
• Determine the capability level
• Communicate and confirm the opportunities for
  improvement
• Develop and implement the improvement plan
                                                              28



                                                             28
Principles in its Application

• Apply professional judgment
• Environmental and organizational factors
• A practice cannot be improved if it cannot be repeated
• Capability gets built in steps/stages
• KPAs at one level set the foundation for KPAs at the next
  level
• A KPA is achieved when it is institutionalized into the
  culture of the IA activity
• All KPAs, up to and including the KPAs at a given level,
  must be institutionalized to achieve that level
• Not all all elements need be at the same level               29



                                                              29
Important Considerations

• All levels in the IG participate
• Organizational management and stakeholder support
• Processes are institutionalized and sustainable

Key Areas of Procurement Activity
• Good Sourcing Principles and Practices

• Price and Cost Analysis

• Inventory Management

• Legal Protection



Procurement Competencies being prepared
Approach
• Analysis of current competencies, procedures, practices and policies
• Work with MPW management and selected DG’s to enhance
  procurement competency
• Develop and support the ULP in developing good procurement
  practice
• Applying Risk Assessment & Management techniques to all
  procurement
• Introduction of best practice procurement training
• Presenting and mentoring the introduction of new procurement
  tools and techniques
• Providing practical guidance to MPW & DG’s to ensure a consistent
  application of best practice techniques
Key Messages
• Early involvement (by both parties) in the
  procurements to resolve potential risk areas in
  time
• Shared understanding of what is procurement
• Integrate lessons learnt from past experience in
  future training and procurement practices
• Best practice contract management
• Cost not price
• Performance not conformance
• Consistency in actions.
Best Practice Procurement
                      WILL
              achieve compliance,

            Compliance alone does not
           ensure a best value for money
                   procurement.

Change Management Support
     Program (CMSP)
      Dr Steve Harris



                            37
Role in Change Management
• Private and Public Sectors
  – Reform efforts gone under many banners
     • TQM, PRR, Reengineering, restructuring, cultural
       change, turnaround
• Core focus: “making fundamental changes in
  doing business”
  – Results variable
     • Some reforms successful & few utter failures & most fall
       somewhere in between
     • Lessons learned are significant

                                                             38
CMSP at core of reform
• CMSP + CM Strategy (D5)
  – Inform & guide key strategic/operational
    decisions the MoW/IndII Team make
  – Address and overcome Roadblocks
  – Linked closely to long-term approach
    outlined in the 'roadmap’



                                               39
Lessons Learned
• The most general lesson is change is a series
  of steps/stages over considerable time (5-10
  years)
  – Tenacity to skip stages and creates an illusion of
    speed and never produces satisfying results
• Critical mistakes during stages have a
  devastating impact on the reform program
  – Declaring early victory
     • Negative impact, momentum lost
     • Erodes/negates progress made
                                                         40
Lessons Learned (con’t)
• Transformation thus is a process not an event
   – Series of building blocks
   – 5-10 year time frame
   – Resist skipping stages
• Standard approach to CM
   – Targeted areas are:
      •   Org's Strategy
      •   People, pay, processes
      •   Move staff
      •   Realign functions
      •   Rewards and incentives
      •   Remove inefficiencies

                                                  41
Lessons Learned (con’t)
Sustainable and effective leadership is often the missing Ingredient in reform
    implementation
Leadership
• MPW leaders as 'Guiding Coalition’
• IndII Team as 'Change Agents'
• Selected employees as CAs
• Establish CM mechanism
Effective persuasion campaign
• Early activation/weeks or months
• IndII Team instrumental here/design and implement
• goals: ensure employees listen to tough messages
• Understand institutional and national psychology
Campaign goals: ensure employees listen to tough messages; question old
    assumptions; embrace new ways
IndII Team mentor and nurture/training (technical&CM)

                                                                             42
Key IG MPW - IndII Team Phased Steps
                 (Source: JP Kotter)
•   Sense of urgency/identify crises & opportunties
•   Forming a powerful coalition to lead change
•   Create Vision to direct reform
•   Communicate Vision/use every vehicle available
•   Empowering others to act on vision (get rid of
    obstacles (encourage risk taking/change systems
    or structures that undermine the vision


                                                      43
Key IG MPW - IndII Team Phased Steps
              (Source: JP Kotter)
• Planning for and creating short term wins
  (plan and create performance improvements)
• Consolidate improvements and produce even
  more change (hire promote and develop
  employees who can implement vision)
• Institutionalise (highlight link between new
  behaviours and Departmental success/ensure
  succession
• M&E/Impact Focus
                                                 44
Case Study: MAIL/Afghanistan
• Institutional mandate for reform mandatory (link to strategic level
  leadership in national public sector reform program)
• Capacity development
   – Based on long term commitment
   – competency based incentives
   – mentoring by national specialists
• Inst'l reforms not too ambitious
   – No 'whole inst't approach
   – select small operational priorities
   – Use them as cascading models to demonstrate CM principles
• Monitor and evaluate management ‘energy’ in the Department
• Vertical/Horizontal communications is critical
• Establish mechanism for wide ranging stakeholder collaboration and
  coordination
• Guaranteed funding critical                                           45

  • 1. PRESENTATION TO THE PARTNERS OF IG MPW IndII Activity P243-02: Governance Reform in Internal Audit Function (IG-MPW)
  • 3. GoA is a leader and a strong proponent of Good Governance and Accountability in the belief that countries that receive GoA aid and have the two attributes, improve the effectiveness of aid and reduce corruption. These goals are in line with the Paris Declaration. 3
  • 4. The Paris Declaration In March 2005, representatives of developed and developing countries (including Australia) meeting at the High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Paris “resolve[d] to take far- reaching and monitorable actions to reform the ways we deliver and manage aid”. The result was the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness Selected Summary of Indicators of Progress 1. Partners have operational development strategies 2. Partners have reliable public financial management and procurement systems 3. Capacity will be strengthened by coordinated support THIS PROGRAM FALLS WITHIN THE GUIDELINES & PRIORITIES OF GOA 4
  • 6. The IG  understands that changes must be made to improve the operations in order to meet GoI obligations as IG and to make the unit into Professional Auditors  was the primary mover in proposing the Reform Agenda – he is the Change Agent  is Chairman of the 565+ IGs in GoI & wants to continue a leadership role to set an example  Believes this experience can be a template to replicate at other IG Operations  understands the challenges going forward and has shown ownership  wants to work with AusAID 6
  • 8. Our Partners • BPKP • LKPP • KPK • MENPAN (Bureaucratic Reform) • World Bank In house partners • IG MPW Change Management Unit • MPW Management 8
  • 10. Background • Early 2009, IG proposed a Reform Agenda (RA) for better value-added services to MPW on budget impact, infrastructure development and activity safeguards. • Indicative trigger for World Bank’s IDPL 4: Adoption of an Action Plan to strengthen staff capacity and introduce modern RBIA methodology & practices to provide assurance on internal control systems and compliance. • Initial discussions identified the need for continuing support over stages, grouped by achievements / identified deliverables. • IndII support commenced in June 2009; • Earlier IndII support helped IG to improve and strengthen its capacity / technical ability to do internal audit work at MPW. • However, although substantial groundwork for fundamental auditing using RBIA techniques has been established, there are fundamental “roadblocks” within the IG structure and operations that must be resolved if the gains made to date are to be maintained and further improved. 10
  • 11. Therefore, it was timely to consider other critical areas of improvement, to ensure sustainability of progress In order to have sustainability: Processes must have the ability to be repeated In order to repeat processes there must be a supporting infrastructure with systems that are imbedded and institutionalized. 11

  • 13. An entirely new program, both in scope and approach • Although it builds on the prior Activities of IndII support to the IG, we concluded there was a serious danger that gains made may not be sustained longer- term and be capable of being used as building blocks for further improvements unless fundamental roadblocks such as updated relevant management structures and support mechanisms were addressed; therefore the importance of IACM (Pillar 1). • In addition, GoI is now more focused on eliminating (or at least reducing) corruption; thus Pillar 2, a concentration on improving procurement practices, doing better and more procurement auditing and • Pillar 3 - creating / monitoring a corruption-free environment. 13
