It is with pleasure that I present to the Northern Cape Provincial Legislature my 2011-12 general report summarising the audit outcomes of the provincial government for the financial year ended 31 March 2012.

During the 2010-11 financial period the provincial leadership made the following commitments: The provincial leadership has reflected on the lack of visible progress in implementing commitments made in the previous year. They have pledged that the basic principles of monthly reporting, validation of reported information and constant monitoring would be the pillars on which the commitments for the coming year are based.
This informed the new commitments, ranging from enhancing the monitoring and oversight capacity of the legislature and its committees, with provincial treasury improving its capacitating role, to taking full ownership of key control assessments.
