well what i got from the report is that, it is basically about working of PNP office.... and auditors have observation about their working process..... one observation which could be of concern to those who have applied thru representatives is following :
One of the audit observation is: ‘….Less than 6% of the files from the 262 were part of the quality assurance exercise the federal government and the Ministry had started toward the end of our audit because those of long standing had already been processed by the federal government and so were deemed outside the scope of this quality assurance exercise. In our view, it would have been worth¬while to continue this exercise. ‘
AUDIT RECOMMENDATION
‘….
• develop a process to track representatives and applicants of concern, and to alert processing staff;
• define situations where the banning of repre¬sentatives and applicants is warranted, and implement necessary steps to allow banning;
• conduct a review of the 234 nominee applications that were submitted by questionable representatives; and
• conduct a review of the 262 applications that were flagged for follow-up.
Reply of ministry to the audit observation:
'The Ministry will complete by early 2015 a review of the 234 nominee applications that were submitted by questionable representatives. The Ministry will also review any applications that were flagged for follow-up. As of the end of October 2014, changes were made to the case-management information system to flag cases for follow-up.'
Other than this there is nothing that is concerned to applicants like us who have applied without job offer.
lets see how things move now after this. what i get from this is also that QA process is ongoing process of PNP office but they were not effectively following it. whereas, audit of their process is something separate from QA process; and this is audit report not QA exercise report.
