  14. THE SEMINARS OF RESTITUTION ARMFA GENERAL ASSEMBLY, ACCRA 2006

  15. 1998 – 1999 CAMPAIGN • The consultation for the selection of the auditor was restrained to twelve Consultants. • For this campaign only the MINPW was involved • The audit mission was divided into three lots and two companies were retained : • Lot 1 –North network by Cabinet E. RAUSCH • Lot 2 – South network by Cabinet E. RAUSCH et • Lot 3 – West network by SODETEG consultants. ARMFA GENERAL ASSEMBLY, ACCRA 2006

  16. VOLUME OF AUDITED WORKS 1998 – 1999 Campaign 158 Contracts for an engaged amount of : 11.967 milliards F CFA. • 101 contracts for execution of works ; (the repartition by type of works is in annex) • 57 contracts for studies and control of works. ARMFA GENERAL ASSEMBLY, ACCRA 2006

  17. REMARKS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE AUDITOR • For this campaign, only the MINPW carried out works and the technical audit was à posteriori. • Les principal remarks and recommendations were on : • the good quality of control, but the control engineers had too much ground to cover and found it hard to be efficient; • the poor quality and equipment of enterprises, few real enterprises ; • the insufficient definition of works realised, • generally only executed work was paid for, a positive point ; • two flagrant work cases on rehabilitation were observed. ARMFA GENERAL ASSEMBLY, ACCRA 2006

  18. 1999 – 2000 CAMPAIGN • The consultation for the selection of the auditor was restrained to ten Consultants. • For this campaign the following were involved: • Le MINPW • Le MINVIL Even though there were more contracts, there was only one Consultant : the HENTOU / 2 AC group. ARMFA GENERAL ASSEMBLY, ACCRA 2006

  19. VOLUME DES TRAVAUX AUDITES 1999 – 2000 Campaign MINTP 171 Contracts for a total amount of : 22.994 milliards F CFA. • 160 contracts for execution of works ; (the repartition by type of works is in annex) • 11 contracts for studies and control of works. ARMFA GENERAL ASSEMBLY, ACCRA 2006

  20. VOLUME OF AUDITED WORKS 1999 – 2000 Campaign MINVIL 14 Contracts for an amount of : 1.790 milliard F CFA. • 8 contracts for execution of works ; (the repartition by type of works is in annex) • 6 contracts for studies and control of works. ARMFA GENERAL ASSEMBLY, ACCRA 2006

  21. REMARKS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE AUDITOR • Analysis of the contract award conditions : no real transparency existed. This could hamper the emergence of competent SME. • On the ground, the road axis were uncertain. Perhaps GPS coordinates study should have been done. • The system of closing the contracts on a fixed date could have favoured the mediocrity. This practice should be abandoned. • Put in place at the level of the RF an evaluation of realisations of the campaign so that the approval of programming takes the state of the roads into account and that the weak enterprises should be known during the campaign. • Avoid engagements of funds which could lead the RF to have difficulties with its treasury. ARMFA GENERAL ASSEMBLY, ACCRA 2006

  22. CAMPAIGN 2000 - 2001 • The open consultation was declared unsuccessful. The technical audit technique for this campaign was awarded to the HENTOU / 2 AC group; • The following ministries were involved • MINPW • MINVIL • MINUH and • MINT ARMFA GENERAL ASSEMBLY, ACCRA 2006

  23. VOLUME OF AUDITED WORKS 2000 – 2001 Campaign MINPW 286 Contracts for an amount of : 29.894 milliards F CFA. • 273 contracts for execution of works; (the repartition by type of works is in annex) • 13 contracts for studies and control of works. 2000 – 2001 Campaign MINVIL 14 Contracts for an amount of : 1.908 milliard F CFA. • 10 contracts for execution of works ; (the repartition by type of works is in annex) • 4 contracts for studies and control of works.

ARMFA GENERAL ASSEMBLY, ACCRA 2006

  25. REMARKS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE AUDITOR • The unit prices of medium term contracts are higher than those of annual contracts. • The observed weaknesses of programming persist. • At the level of MINVIL and MINUH, the programming weakness is in engineering leading to a poor quality of works executed. For these two Vote holders some of the works were eligible for RF financing. • The follow-up of contracts was improved at the level of the RF thanks to a programme put in place graciously by the auditor. There is a serious problem of storage space. • The technical assistance of PERFED II (EU funded) has put in place a homogenous system of billing which considerably improves the follow-up and coordination for the supervising consultants. ARMFA GENERAL ASSEMBLY, ACCRA 2006

  26. AWARD OF TECHNICAL AUDIT CONTRACTS FOR TWO CAMPAIGNS • The Management Committee of the RF was concerned about efficiency of the expenditure. • The auditor comes in at the end of the campaign and it is difficult to appreciate the quality of works on the roads especially earth roads. • The recommendations did not seem to be followed by the vote holders. • The audit contract should be done over two campaigns to gain time on the consultation and mobilisation. • The idea of a seminar of restitution of observations and recommendations of audit reports was introduced.
