description A number of in-depth studies were conducted between the time of the preparation of the first draft CFAA report in May 2002 and the final mission in February 2003. These included a PER, CPAR and an IMF Report on the Observance of Standards and Codes (ROSC) mission. Each of these missions identified a number of serious weaknesses and made recommendations to address them. Some of these weaknesses had been identified in the CFAA report and others represented new findings. These new findings and their associated recommendations have been reflected in the final CFAA report, sometimes by explicit inclusion, other times by reference. As a result, this final report has a strong emphasis on the internal control framework and fiduciary risks and presents specific short- and medium-term recommendations to mitigate them. In conducting its mission, the team noted that the availability and reliability of financial information beyond routine budget utilization data is severely limited, precluding analysis in a number of areas. Improving the quality of reliable, complete and accurate financial information is essential for sound management decision-making. This report makes four priority and an additional twenty-one recommendations. They are designed to strengthen the legal foundation for internal financial control, construct a modem internal control framework, and develop the human capacity to administer them successfully. Internal controls must be the priority of the Government if it is to reduce its fiduciary risk. The four priority most areas of risk for the Government of Georgia include: implement a sound legal foundation for effective financial controls, build the internal audit function, strengthen the external audit function, and build staff capacities in financial management and auditing.
