The project will develop a PIFC policy for the local and regional government level and update the PIFC legal framework, including all necessary primary and secondary legislation. Advice and support will be provided to the CHU in order to ensure proper coordination of overall PIFC development in Croatia, including on-the-job assistance for CHU staff as well as high-level seminars with the CHU to further develop the awareness of managers, both at central and local government levels, regarding PIFC (FMC and IA) requirements.

The project will draft an FMC Manual and implement a training/information dissemination programme for the central, regional and local government levels. Government internal auditor training programme and training capacity will be upgraded, including upgraded IA methodologies and manuals and additional training modules for trained internal auditors in system audits, financial audits and IT audits, as well as number of (pilot) audits.
Internal audit capacity at the regional and local government level will be developed through intensive internal audit training, internships, and the implementation of a number of pilot audits.
All relevant state administration bodies and counties will be coached to have adopted strategic audit plans and yearly operational plans.
