I present to the provincial legislature of Gauteng my 2011-12 general report, summarising the results of the audit outcomes for the provincial government for the financial year ended 31 March 2012.
These outcomes show a regression from previous years, with the exception of seven public entities that achieved clean audits because the leadership at these entities consistently monitored the monthly financial disciplines, such as reconciliations through clearly defined processes.
My message for the 2010-11 financial period confirmed the following commitments by the provincial leadership “The preparation of complete monthly financial statements, accompanied by a review and validation process, the coordination of guidance and support on IT, SCM, predetermined objectives and HR management by the provincial treasury, the extension of the quarterly key control discussions to include portfolio committee chairpersons and internal audit, and the continued leadership influence to ensure approval of the organisational structures to ensure that critical positions are filled timeously.”
