I present my 2011-12 general report to the North West Provincial Legislature, which summarises the results of the audit outcomes of the provincial departments, including the provincial legislature, public and other entities for the financial year ended 31 March 2012.
Overall, the provincial audit outcomes have regressed, with 64% of departments and 76% of entities receiving either a qualified or disclaimed audit opinion, or not submitting annual financial statements.
My message for the 2010-11 financial period confirmed the following commitments from the provincial leadership: Filling of vacancies; a skills audit; monthly preparation of financial statements and performance information; review of policies and procedures; recruitment of competent human resources; quarterly engagement between the members of the executive council, portfolio committee chairpersons and audit committees; and availability of members of the executive council at the monthly key control engagements.
