Mimi does it again!

 

A joint steering committee for the Audit Service and  Internal Audit Agency (IAA) has been inaugurated to ensure effective and efficient use of audit resources.

The committee was formed as part of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that was signed by the two institutions in November 2007.

The nine-member committee, which is chaired by the Acting Auditor-General, Richard Quartey, is expected to share information and create opportunities for mutual collaboration in the delivery of internal and external auditing services.

The steering committee is also mandated to outline the basis for the collaboration between the two institutions in fostering the values of transparency, discipline, accountability and performance in the discharge of their statutory and professional duties.

Inaugurating the joint steering committee, Mr Richard Quartey,  said that the objectives of the committee were to provide the constitutional framework needed to promote cooperation and collaboration between the two bodies.

“The committee is also mandated to identify high risk areas in the public sectors and agree on a strategy for auditing in the country,” he added.

Mr. Quartey stressed that committee would play a key role in ensuring the removal of duplication and clash of schedules and arrangements for regular consultation to provide the basis for identifying opportunities, stressing, 

“The two institutions in pursuance of the MOU would share planning and risk assessment information, reports and information, audit assignments, technical capacity and modalities and create opportunities for consultation.

This is another sign that we are willing to cooperate with both public sector and civil society institutions in areas of good governance, accountability and anti corruption programmes.”

Patrick Nomo, the Director-General of the Internal Audit Agency (IAA), who is also the Vice Chairman of the Committee, noted that external and internal audit services play complimentary roles in ensuring public accountability, performance and promotes effective and efficient use of resources.

He said, “The collaboration between the two institutions would help avoid exhaustive use of executive time and resources.

The ideals that have inspired us to enter into this union must persist to achieve its objectives.”

 

Mimi

 

Well her vocal abilities may still remain doubtful and most analysts don’t give her a snowball’s chance in hell of succeeding but Mimi Abu Andani aka Divalish has done it again. The former Big Brother Africa housemate turn singer has followed up her hot single, ‘Leave Me Alone’ with her latest titled, ‘Tattoo’. And again, she got the best in the industry to put together another nice video for her good ballad attempt.

Mimi and her Movingui Record, sure have a good strategy which could easily see the singer ride on her Big Brother Africa fame to become a household name in Africa. Unlike Bradez who chose to have a substandard music video for their hit song, ‘Simple’, Mimi understands the power of a good music video and I won’t be surprised to see or hear people singing along to ‘Tattoo’. 

The quite simple video portrays an unusually soft side of Mimi in very few scenes. Left alone at home, singing and relishing the touch of her lover, Mimi is seen in a seductive pose on a staircase in one scene. With flashback interactions with her man here and there, Mimi is seen in another scene, wrapped in a cloth and baring her backside for an artist to etch a tattoo on her back.

The creative but yet exaggerated sparks created by the tattoo needle as it comes in contact with her skin stops at the end of the video to reveal a tattoo of the face of Mimi’s lover.

Simple, relevant and beautiful! I say congrats to Phamous People for another good video and to Divalish, all the best! The video is already on TV; look out for it on YouTube and right here soon.
