Audit institutions need autonomy to check governors, leaders

•‘Supreme Court ruling on Oyo councils to check further excesses’
The Paradigm Leadership Support Initiative (PLSI) has harped on the need for autonomy of audit institutions at the state level to check mismanagement of public funds by state governors.
Its Executive Director, Olusegun Elemo, during the virtual presentation of the 2020 sub-national audit efficacy index report, regretted that 50 per cent of states do not have a modern audit law that guarantees independence of auditor generals to enhance stakeholders’ engagement in the audit process.
He said: “We want to see a situation whereby an auditor-general produces an audit report and comments on the financial expenditure of the state and when there are irregularities, he/she is able to spotlight it for the public accounts committee to take up for the executive to explain.
