Auditor General Tsakani Maluleke said there is a continuous trend of improvement in the audit outcomes for national and provincial departments and entities for the financial year that ended in March.
She
delivered the good news while briefing a joint sitting of Parliament’s standing
committees on the auditor-general and public accounts on Wednesday.
However,
Maluleke also announced irregular expenditure by departments and entities of
more than R166 billion and said a lot more needs to be done.
Maluleke
reported that by October there were 42 audits outstanding and 34 that still had
to be completed.
She said the
115 clean audits represent 27% of auditees and make up for 19% of the R1.9
trillion appropriated for budgets for the year.
And
non-compliance by departments had led to irregular expenditure.
