CLEAR ACTION LIST BEING IMPLEMENTED AND TRACKED TO ADDRESS AUDIT FINDINGS
January 6, 2023
With the City’s annual audit report having been reported on, I want to assure the residents of Tshwane that we take the findings of the Auditor-General very seriously.
In my last two years as Executive Mayor, the City has continuously received unqualified audits. The decline in the City’s audit performance is unacceptable and, as the political leadership, it is critical that we step up, take responsibility and ensure that we immediately plot a path towards achieving better audit outcomes.
I want to succinctly map out the actions that our administration has embarked on and that we will implement to ensure that we rectify the failings that have been identified by the Auditor-General.
1. Criminal charges to be laid against the terminated Chief Financial Officer. The poor quality of the financial statements is in flagrant abuse of the Local Government: Municipal Finance Management Act, 2003 (Act 56 of 2003). Further reports on financial misconduct will be brought to Council.
