USAID OIG’s Africa Regional Office provides independent audit oversight of USAID programs across 50 countries in sub-Saharan Africa. A number of these audits are non-Federal audits—which are financial audits performed by independent public accounting firms that ensure that contracts, cooperative agreements, and other foreign assistance awards meet Federal requirements.
This snapshot highlights program data, audit findings, and recommendations in non-Federal audit reports transmitted by the Africa Regional Office from July 1 to December 31, 2023. During this period, most non-Federal audits for the Africa Regional Office related to health programming, such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. In addition, roughly 50 percent of audited spending related to programs in Kenya and East Africa; Southern Africa; Nigeria; and Zambia.
