Internal auditors of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Great Britain arrived to Kiev to conduct an audit of the British Embassy in Ukraine for minimizing risks of errors and violations and to facilitate efficient use of funds.

So, on initiative of advisor on defense of the Ministry of Defence of Great Britain Steven Glover on 9 November this year foreign colleagues met with representatives of the Ministry of Defence and the MainCRO of Ukraine. 

The system of internal control and internal audit in public institutions of Great Britain was presented by Mark Hopkins, who worked in control units of different ministries, and Chris Bowden, who has a great experience of work in the Department of Internal Audit of the Ministry of Defence of Great Britain. They also answered numerous questions from the Ukrainian party.

 Measures like this are very useful for future internal auditors of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine and for the MainCRO, who passed trainings in the framework of the Twinning project "Assisting the MainCRO in implementing a new system of public internal financial control".

Such discussions facilitate more profound learning of the European experience and best practice and also help in development of drafts of enactments, envisaged by the Action Plan on implementation of the Concept of PIFC Development till 2015 (approved by the Executive Order of the Government of 22.10.2008 No. 1347-r)
