What impact does the performance audit have on the realization of a project?

The populations of West Africa suffer from many scourges such as poverty, lack of literacy and STIs. Faced with the lack of commitment of African states to help their populations, international and regional donors are financing social development projects to assist the poorest populations. During an internship at the Audit & Accounting Department of AAA - KPMG Togo, we were scheduled to audit one of these projects in the Plateau region of Togo. The "SAV" project (Village Health and Women's Place), which had the following objectives Literacy of women in rural areas and Education on STIs and early pregnancy. After the work was completed, we took a step back to analyze the impact of the audit mission on performance and the achievement of the mission's objectives from one year to the next. Based on hypothetical-inductive thinking, we researched the traditional and performance audit approach to be adopted in such an assignment.
