The Office of the Auditor General (OAG) is the Supreme Audit Institution (SAI) of Uganda. The Auditor General (AG) is mandated by Article 163 of the Constitution (1995) to audit all public accounts of Uganda including the Courts, the Central and local Government Universities and Public Institutions and any other public corporations or bodies established by an act of parliament. OAG reports its findings to parliament.
OAG´s headquarter is located at Apollo Kaggwa Road, Plot 2C, P.O. Box 7083, Kampala, Uganda.
The OAG undertakes its operations through two divisions, namely, the Audit Division and the Corporate Services Division. The Corporate Services Division is split up in departments and units including Finance & Administration, Human Resources, Information Technology, Executive Support, Quality Assurance & Audit Development, Parliamentary Liaison, Legal, Communication, Procurement and Internal Audit.
The two divisions undertake various business processes from which information is generated to support decision making by all stakeholders. Furthermore, in execution of its mandate, the OAG interfaces with various stakeholders who are linked to other systems necessitating the OAG to have a system of its own that can link with others for easy sharing and access to information.
The Integrated MIS system covers all the functional areas of core business processes within the OAG. The broad functionalities expected from the solution are given below:
I. Human Capital Management, Payroll,
II. Planning and Budgeting
III. Financial and Accounting
IV. Document & Electronic Records Management
V. Procurement and Disposal Processes
VI. Project Management
VII. Asset management
VIII. Business Intelligence
IX. Governance, Risk and Compliance
X. Fleet Management
XI. As the MIS needs to be integrated and should make use of generic functionalities the following functions, but not limited to, are part of the expected functionalities:
a) Reporting
b) Support to logistic processes within the office.
c) Furthermore, it is important to understand that although OAG is an independent institution, it is active within the Government of Uganda and therefore the MIS should be able to interface with e.g. financial systems of the Ministry of Finance and the HR-system of the Ministry of Public Services.
