As part of its annual work plan, the Office of Internal
Audit conducted an audit of WFP’s operations in South
Sudan that focused on the period 1 January 2017 to 31
March 2018. The audit team conducted the fieldwork from 16
April to 4 May 2018 at the country office premises in Juba
and through onsite visits to the Bor, Rumbek and Juba
field offices. WFP has had a continuous presence in South
Sudan since the declaration of independence in July 2011
and prior to independence under the Sudan country office’s
operations, scaling up its interventions in December 2013
when a level 3 emergency was declared in the country. The
audit was conducted in conformance with the International
Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal
Auditing.
