Independent External Audit of the financial year 2020
The independent external auditors, appointed by the Board of Governors (BoG) from senior members of national supreme audit or other suitable institutions of IACA Parties, formed a collegial body of three and conducted the audit online from May to July 2021. External auditors act in their personal capacity and enjoy functional and organizational independence in conducting the audit. Following the approval by the BoG, the findings of the independent external audit were also presented and taken note of at the organization’s annual Assembly of Parties.
Scholarships
IACA offers a limited number of scholarships, generally for students from Least Developed Countries (LDCs) as defined by the United Nations, and for citizens from IACA State Parties, listed under the World Bank Classification of Countries by Income as the Lower-Middle- and Upper-Middle-Income Economies. These highly competitive scholarships are merit-based and they fully or partially cover the programme fee.
In 2020, IACA offered 74 (IACSA 2020 online) and 22 (academic programmes) full and partial scholarships to students and participants of its academic programmes and open trainings courtesy of the Siemens Integrity Initiative. The highly qualified participants benefiting from these scholarships hailed the following countries: Afghanistan, Angola, Argentina, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Botswana, Brazil, Burkina Faso, China, El Salvador, Egypt, Ghana, Germany, Gambia, Honduras, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Liberia, Malawi, Malaysia, Mexico, Mozambique, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Romania, Russian Federation, Rwanda, Serbia, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Turkey, Uganda, United Kingdom, and Zambia.
96 full and partial scholarships
To further support scholarship provision, IACA has continued to offer courtesy shares instead of courtesy gifts, where the value indicated on the shares is dedicated to IACA’s scholarship fund for empowering professionals. The money is used to subsidize the participation for nationals from less privileged parts of the world in IACA’s programmes. Direct contributions to the scholarship fund are also possible.
