Skill and expertise of the staff is the most crucial matter for the Commercial Audit Directorate. Among the managerial staff, the directorate boosts a wide range of educational backgrounds. The directorate actually finds the variation in experiences very useful for carrying out its audit activities especially in Compliance Auditing, Special Auditing, Issue Based Auditing etc. However, the directorate is also aware that it needs to increase its focus on accounting and auditing related qualifications and training. Currently, the majority of the managerial staff comes from Science and Humanities backgrounds followed by Finance/Accounting and Financial Management. There has been quite a large number of MBAs. Nonetheless, the number of managers with ICMAs, CISAs and other professional accounting/auditing qualifications is still quite low. In this circumstance, the office has adopted policies and taken steps to address this issue.
At present, around four hundred and thirty officers and staff are working in this Audit Directorate, and women share only 23 percent of this number. However, in job placement, training and other opportunities women officials have equal access compared to their male counterparts. The following tables depict the officer- staff -gender ratio.
