Message of the Director-General

Performance Audit Wing is a specialized training unit of the department of the Auditor-General of Pakistan engaged in imparting training in performance auditing for the last forty years. The Wing is committed to the highest standards of training and capacity building

We believe that future accountability pattern would largely resort to performance auditing as against any other type of audit which is more prone to examining the service delivery and governance issues

The management and faculty of PAW have firm resolve to disseminate training in such a fashion to encourage analytical and research- based thinking ability amongst the trainees thereby enabling them to undertake all kinds of complex audit assignments.
