Audit of USAID/Timor-Leste's Strenghtening Property Rights in Timor-Leste Project
Recommendations
USAID/Timor-Leste direct the implementer of the Strengthening Property Rights in Timor-Leste Project to develop improved data quality control procedures that will address the recordrelated
deficiencies identified during the audit and ensure that the data and records maintained in the project's database are accurate, complete, and of an acceptable quality.
USAID/Timor-Leste direct the implementer of the Strengthening Property Rights in Timor-Leste Project to (a) reassess the results that can be realistically achieved under its land administration activity during the remainder of the project period and (b) develop a detailed plan for completing this work, including corrective action to address the operational issues identified by the audit, to ensure that all property claims collected under the activity undergo final processing by the end of the project.
USAID/Timor-Leste direct the implementer of the Strengthening Property Rights in Timor-Leste Project to (a) provide training or guidance to its project field staff to ensure that they adhere
to prescribed procedures in the followup and resolution of disputed property claims, and (b) establish appropriate procedures to ensure that data on disputed property claims reported from the project's disputed claims log are accurate and
complete, as well as regularly reconciled with data contained in the project's database to maintain the reliability and accuracy of both records.
