Our review disclosed that the internal controls over hiring and managing consultants and experts needs strengthening to ensure that consultants and experts: are free from financial conflicts-of-interest; are not improperly detailed and recertified; time and attendance is accurately reported; quality of work is evaluated; and hiring approvals are obtained in compliance with prevailing policies and procedures. Also, we found many instances of noncompliance with prescribed policies, procedures and regulations. </p> <hr> </body> </html>
