SAI Nepal Launches Audit Management System

SAI Nepal launched much-anticipated Nepal Audit Management System (NAMS). NAMS is a software that streamlines the audit process in order to accurately identify and reduce risks, thereby saving time, space, and money. This new system marks the beginning of a digital audit regime in Nepal.

SAI Nepal has issued a directive and formed a unit to manage NAMS, which leverages information and communications technology (ICT) and integrated government applications to automate the audit life cycle. The system supports all audit activities, including:

• Risk-based audit planning at federal, provincial, and local levels;
• Data migration from different government ICT systems;
• Online access to the audited entity;
• Audit execution, based on checklists and templates;
• Online audit quality control and assurance mechanism;
• Online transmission of system-generated audit reports;
• Archiving of audit documents.
