In response to the publication by Premium times on April 29, 2015:

The reply to the freedom of information request for the Forensic Audit report on NNPC followed template (1)
(INFORMATION NOT HELD BY PUBLIC INSTITUTION) on page 16 of the guidelines on the implementation of the freedom of information Act 2011.
Revised Edition 2013 Issued by the Honorable Attorney-General of the Federation, and Minister of Justice on the 27th February, 2013, which specifically defined institutions with "greater interest". The Office of the Auditor General for the Federation OAUGF followed this legal requirement, and the Civil service rules in the response. OAUGF identified the "Presidency" as the institution in the reply as required by the FOI Act.
For any group of persons or a media House to misinterpret this very important aspect of the Act as casting blame and to personalize any Public interest duly identified as an institution with "greater interest" is mischievous, which in no small measure calls for a legal action and the attention of the Attorney-General as His good Office has been directing.

The main objective of performance audit is constructively to promote economical, effective and efficient governance. It also contributes to accountability and transparency.

Performance auditing promotes transparency by affording Parliament, taxpayers and othersources of finance, those targeted by government policies and the media an insight into themanagement and outcomes of different government activities. It thereby contributes in a directway to providing useful information to the citizen, while also serving as a basis for learning and improvements.

The Auditor General is building on the machinery set in motiontwo years ago to enable Nigeria identify with the league of other progressive SAIs. His focus is to emphasise more on principles of transparency and accountability, governance and performance through quality performance audit reports.

Q. What is Performance Audit?
A. To put it simply, performance audit may be defined as examining whether government ministries are “doing the right thing” and doing this “in the right and least expensive way”.
Performance auditing seeks to provide new information, analysis or insights and, where appropriate, recommendations for improvement. Performance audits provide new information, knowledge or value by:
a. providing new analytical insights (broader or deeper analysis or new perspectives);
b. making existing information more accessible to various stakeholders;
c. providing an independent and authoritative view or conclusion based on audit evidence;
d. providing recommendations based on an analysis of audit findings.
