About audit.et
An independent civic project making public audit data accessible and understandable.
Transparency
Public enterprises manage billions in public resources. Citizens deserve clear, accessible insight into how these funds are used and audited.
Accountability
By visualizing audit opinions, financial trends, and key findings, we help highlight where accountability is strong and where questions remain.
Open Source
This entire project is open source. The code, the data extraction, and the visualizations are all publicly available for anyone to inspect, contribute to, or build upon.
What is audit.et?
audit.et is an independent civic project that takes publicly available audit reports from Ethiopian state-owned enterprises and transforms them into interactive visualizations and structured data.
Ethiopia's state-owned enterprises, under Ethiopian Investment Holdings (EIH), manage significant national assets across energy, agriculture, logistics, and more. Their audit reports contain critical financial data — but they are often locked in PDF documents that are difficult to analyze.
This project extracts that data into structured JSON, normalizes it across different reporting formats and fiscal years, and presents it through charts, tables, and summary statistics that anyone can understand.
How It Works
Extract
Audit reports (PDFs) are parsed and extracted into structured JSON data files.
Normalize
Data is normalized across different schemas, reporting formats, and calendar systems (Ethiopian vs Gregorian) into a consistent format.
Visualize
The normalized data is rendered as interactive charts, tables, and summary statistics at build time — no server required.
Data Sources
- Publicly available audit reports of Ethiopian state-owned enterprises
- Publicly available financial statements and annual reports from individual enterprise websites
