This course equips public sector auditors and oversight professionals with a foundational understanding of the extractive industries, with a specific focus on how to explore, interpret, and manage data relevant to oil, gas, and mining sectors.
Designed with an anti-corruption and transparency lens, the course introduces the lifecycle of extractive projects — from exploration to revenue collection — and provides practical tools for assessing risks, analyzing data, and identifying red flags throughout the value chain.
Through interactive content and real-world examples, participants will enhance their ability to:
-
Understand the data flows across the extractive industry value chain
-
Identify key transparency and accountability challenges in extractives
-
Utilize data for improved audit planning, execution, and reporting
-
Recognize indicators of corruption or mismanagement in licensing, production, and revenue reporting
This course supports the mandate of supreme audit institutions to ensure good governance in resource-rich contexts and strengthens their capacity to hold extractive sector stakeholders accountable.
