Abstract
The Internal Audit and Investigations Group (IAIG) of UNOPS submits to the Executive Board the terms of reference for the second interim review of the status of the implementation of the remaining recommendations.
In August 2022, at the request of the Executive Board, UNOPS commissioned an independent third-party advisory review. The second review focused on the UNOPS mandate, governance, risk management and internal control systems, performance management and accountability.
In response to the review, UNOPS drew up a comprehensive response plan. The plan was presented to the Executive Board at its special session 2022.
At the end of 2023, KPMG was commissioned by IAIG to conduct an initial interim review of the implementation of the comprehensive response plan. KPMG reviewed each area of the plan and confirmed the actions already taken by UNOPS and identified areas for further attention
In its decision 2024/4, the Executive Board:
“Decides that the third-party review on the recommendations that have been concluded by the end of 2024 will be conducted in early 2025, with the exception of one recommendation spanning until 2027 which concerns a multi-year programme on process innovation and digitalization; and
Recalls its decision 2023/23 for UNOPS to submit the terms of reference for the external third-party review to the Executive Board for input and validation and requests that UNOPS submits these at the second regular session 2024”.
On 6 June 2024, the IAIG Director submitted the draft terms of reference to the Executive Board for information and inputs
