The Royal Audit Authority successfully conducted the 22nd Year-End Planning and Coordination Meet (YEPCM) 2025–26 from 1–5 June 2026, bringing together officials from the Headquarters and Regional Offices to reflect on achievements, deliberate on strategic priorities, and chart the way forward for the Financial Year 2026–27.
Over the five-day programme, participants engaged in discussions, presentations, and knowledge-sharing sessions on the Rule of Law, implementation of past resolutions, annual operational planning, audit thrust areas, ethics and values, inclusion and accessibility, performance management, human resource development, and institutional strengthening initiatives.
A key highlight of this year’s YEPCM was the Royal Audit Authority’s continued commitment to digital transformation. Participants were introduced to advancements under the Smart Audit Platform (SAP), a strategic initiative aimed at modernizing audit processes, enhancing efficiency, and strengthening data-driven decision-making. The meet also witnessed the launch of six digital tools, marking a significant milestone in RAA’s journey towards a more innovative, technology-enabled, and future-ready audit institution.
The programme further featured the administration of the Oath of Good Conduct, Ethics and Secrecy for new recruits, presentations on significant audit observations, strategic planning initiatives, stakeholder concerns, auditing from the perspective of persons with disabilities, and lessons learned from remote and hybrid audit practices.
A major outcome of the YEPCM was the collective deliberation and endorsement of resolutions focused on enhancing audit quality, organizational performance, professional competency, innovation, and service delivery. The meet concluded with the adoption of resolutions that will guide the Authority’s strategic and operational priorities for FY 2026–27, reaffirming its commitment to strengthening public accountability, transparency, and good governance.
The closing ceremony also marked important milestones in human resource development through the awarding of appointment orders to new recruits, promotion orders, recognition of new team leaders, and awards for the Best Audit Report and Most Significant Observation. Participants were also recognized for their active engagement in the Civil Service Wellness Day activities, including awarding of cash prizes to the top three teams of RAA for the Relay Marathon competition.
As the first Year-End Planning and Coordination Meet convened under the leadership of Hon’ble Auditor General Dasho Jamtsho, the 22nd YEPCM concluded on a forward-looking note, setting a clear direction for the Financial Year 2026–27 through 19 strategic resolutions and reinforcing the Royal Audit Authority’s commitment to innovation, digital transformation, professional excellence, and institutional effectiveness.
