PEFA CHECK

An enhanced mechanism for confirming adequate quality assurance processes of the individual PEFA assessments, called ‘PEFA CHECK’, will be launched in the first half of 2012 with the following features:

Objective: To Improve trust in Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability (PEFA) assessments through process endorsement.

In order to enhance the trust of users outside the lead agency in the quality of individual assessment reports , and address past quality concerns, the PEFA partners have decided that some indication of quality be openly attached to the PEFA reports. This requires that the Secretariat checks that published good practices in the process of implementing a PEFA assessment (covering both the planning and implementation phases), and on that basis, issues a ‘process quality endorsement’ to be known as the ‘PEFA CHECK’.
