of Civil Hospital and main Health Ministry Offices. He has developed a good understanding
of entity and has developed good linkages with Management and any coordination required
for health related issues of family and friends of the officers and staff working at FAO. His
expertise to understand the key internal control issues related to a health establishment has
been exceptional. Auditor X is being considered for an assignment for a works related audit
where he has limited understanding and also is not professionally sound to take up the
assignment. In the year 2020 during Internal Audit of FAO it was highlighted that majority

the auditors. Further, there are complaints about official’s linkages with audit leading to
ethical dilemma. One of the officer has pointed that auditor is unnecessarily exploiting the
facts related to procurement as he has personal animosity with the complainant due to a
previous year incident of little argument during discussion.
