Organisation Description | 
| 
The Pacific Aviation
  Safety Office (PASO) as a concept was established on 7th August 2004 by the
  formation of the Pacific Islands Civil Aviation Safety and Security Treaty
  (PICASST).  PASO as an organisation was
  created in 2008.   PASO's Office is established in Vanuatu with the support of the Government of Vanuatu through a Hosting Agreement. Under the agreement, the Vanuatu government provides office facilities, an operating budget, and a national staff to coordinate the work of PASO and provide administrative support. PASO currently provides advisory, inspection, and oversight services covering the areas of: (i) aerodrome assessment; (ii) security; (iii) aircraft airworthiness; (iv) flight operations; and, (v) personnel licensing. However, its existing subscription and fee-for-service business model has not proven to be sustainable since: (i) countries have not purchased the necessary safety oversight services; (ii) there is a real, or perceived, lack of qualified technical specialists in PASO to perform the technical services, affecting demand; (iii) some countries are in arrears on member subscription fees; and, (iv) salaries and cost structures for PASO do not correctly reflect the demand for services. |

  this assignment is to undertake an annual financial audit on PASO's operation
  for the next three (3) financial years: * January to December 2018 * January to December 2019 * January to December 2020 |
