- ItemCompliance to Auditing Standards in the Ministry of Health Kampala, Uganda.(Kampala International University, College of Economics and Management., 2009-09) Pule, SamuelThe study determined the level of compliance to auditing standards in the Ministry of Health. Auditing Standards in this context implied the general guidelines that aid auditors in fulfilling their professional responsibilities in the audit of historical financial statements. These standards were classified into three (3) major themes namely general standards, fieldwork standards, and standard of reporting. This review summarizes the literature on auditing standards and compliance levels in the Ministry of Health. It also examines the factors affecting the application of auditing standards in organizations. With the help of questionnaires, interviews, and observations, various aspects were established to determine the extent of compliance in the ministry. Some of these aspects included policies that have been formulated, amended, and represented in parliament and above all, ensuring that standard conventions are promoted to achieve accountability and the effective allocation and use of organizational resources. In spite of all initiatives in place, international convention standards especially those of auditing have not realized their goals to capacity, thus the study has also tried to provide an analysis of the factors favoring and disfavoring auditing practices! standards in organizations. Data management, none disclosure and late submission of assertions by management seemed to be the major impediments of auditing practices and standards within the organization. In a bid to overcome all these, a number of recommendations have been made to increase the effectiveness of international convention standards particularly the auditing standards such as a centralized unit of managing internal auditors’ management and control to promote independence and effective audit functions.
- ItemContribution of the procurement department to organizations case study: Mulago hospital(Kampala International University, School of Business and Management, 2007-09) Pule, SamuelThe study aimed at finding out how the procurement departments contribute to the success of organisations in terms of quality management, cost rationalisation and timely procurement/ delivery. A case study ofMulago Hospital was taken, were response was drawn from three main departments namely; the User departments (Medical, Administration, Accounts and Finance), then the Procurement department it self. The respondents from all departments included; Doctors, Accountants, Nurses, Paramedics, Administrators and Procurement Officers all totalling to 30. The Procurement department is important in the success of any organisation. It performs the functions of procurement and storage, by making sure that quality, cost and timely delivery is achieved as the basis of the hospitals performance. In data collection, questionnaires and interview guides were used. Data analysis of qualitative information was made using content analysis. The finding of the study was that the three concepts of quality, time and cost were used in the procuring process, resulting in efficiency and effectiveness in the procurement of goods and services at the hospital. Much as the study was successful in its finding, the Procurement department indicated a problem of delayed, or even sometimes, unreliable funding.
