**CONSULTANT FOR A FINANCIAL AUDIT**

**CONTEXT AND JUSTIFICATION**

Since 2024, [the project] has been supporting PROMHANDICAM and CODAS Caritas (Garoua) in the implementation of the Project to support the establishment of inclusive multi-risk early warning systems for floods and droughts in the Centre and North regions. Its main objective is to contribute to the establishment of effective and inclusive early warning systems for floods and droughts in the Centre and North regions.

Implemented following a human rights‑based approach, it also aims to improve the living conditions of persons with disabilities through holistic, community‑based and social approaches in order to reach as many persons with disabilities as possible and strengthen their resilience to climate hazards.

In the implementation process, one of the prerequisites is the effective and efficient management of the resources allocated to the project through clear procedures, sound financial and accounting management practices, and ensuring that project implementation, coordination, internal control and monitoring procedures comply with the mutual cooperation agreements.

It is with this in mind that an audit to certify the use of funds made available to the partners must be carried out at the end of each financial year. This justifies the present audit mission.

**OBJECTIVES OF THE MISSION**

The main objective of this mission is to audit the project to support the establishment of inclusive multi-risk early warning systems for floods and droughts in the Far North and Centre regions (P 10577) for the period from 1 April to 31 December 2024. It involves examining the operational and financial performance of the project in order to provide CBM with an objective assessment of the keeping of accounting records, the truthfulness of the financial statements, and the internal control system.

Specific objectives:

- Ensure the compliance of the financial report for the first year of the project;
- Ensure that the funds allocated to the project are, in all material respects, used in accordance with the contractual conditions and that the expenses reported in the financial report comply with the rules of sound financial management;
- Ensure the eligibility of the expenses incurred under the project in year 1 of the project implementation;
- Ensure that the internal control system put in place and used by the partners to manage the risks related to the achievement of the project’s objectives has been properly designed and has operated effectively during the period covered by the audit;
