I have the pleasure to present to the legislature of the Limpopo province my 2011-12 general report, analysing the results of the audit outcomes of the Limpopo provincial government for the financial year ended 31 March 2012.

The results reflect an overall regression, which means that the provincial administration is moving further away from the desired clean audit outcomes.

My message from the 2010-11 financial report confirmed the following commitments:

• "The political leadership committed to address the critical challenges that still exist with regard to skills and capacity in finance units, specifically at CFO level, and committed to address this by March 2012 … The executive authority and oversight structures have committed to quarterly monitoring and evaluate the status of the key controls and commitments in order to achieve sustainable clean audit outcomes."
