A Social Program Audit Specialist evaluates whether programs comply with financial, operational, and policy standards. They work in government agencies, NGOs, audit firms, and donor organizations. Responsibilities include reviewing records, verifying processes, assessing compliance, and producing audit reports using audit frameworks and compliance systems. They serve funders, regulators, and program leadership. The role focuses on accountability and compliance, not impact or evaluation. Demand is increasing due to governance requirements, anti-corruption measures, and donor compliance standards.
