Speaking at the opening of a meeting preceding the third annual workshop in Kigali, Rwanda Revenue Authority (RRA) Commissioner General Richard Tusabe said that business is constantly changing in both public and private companies. Thus, as auditors, they should always understand business. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe have realized that the whole world is running fast in technology. That speed is a critical and trending problem. Auditors also need to be aware of protectionism, cyber-attacks and data theft. These are the things you should watch closely.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Tusabe said that auditing is practiced everywhere in the world and it is in that regard that the institute is in charge of bringing together those in the profession to examine current trends and what they help institutions.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you look at where we are in the development of our country, there is no way you can keep up this speed and boost the economy and development without adequate auditors in both public and private companies.” <\/p>\n
Gerald Nyangezi, the president of the Association of Internal Auditors of Rwanda said that as people who seek to build professional auditing, an annual meeting is held to remind themselves their responsibility in governance, how they may help in different ways within their companies to achieve good leadership and ensure its beneficiaries are taken into consideration in different programs.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we pioneered this idea to establish this institute, there was a problem of skills and capacity among the practitioners of this profession. They would graduate with average skills but without professionalism.”
\nCurrently, Rwanda counts about 60 professional auditors while in general, 500 practice this profession. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
