The Central Internal Audit Unit has started auditing Constituency Development Fund (CDF) in the following 10 Councils; Nkhatabay, Kasungu, Ntchisi, Salima, Mchinji, Dedza, Blantyre City, Mulanje, Phalombe and Mulanje. The audit is a continuation of a similar audit that was conducted between November and December 2016 and it started on 10 December, 2017.

Unlike the 2016 audit that covered three accounts of CDF, Local Development Fund – Public Works Program (LDF-PWP) and Development Budget, this audit will only cover CDF account. As part of capacity building and sharing work experiences, the audit has included 9 internal auditors from Councils. The arrangement is expected to improve the technical capabilities of the Council’s auditors to be able to competently audit their respective Councils.
