14 October 2007
Auditor-General (AG), Terence Nombembe will, from the 16 October, embark on
a countrywide road show to brief legislatures and Parliament on his overview of
the 2006/07 national and provincial government audits.
AG spokesman Africa Boso says the aim of the briefings is to share the AG's
audit outcomes and trends for national and provincial governments for the
2006/07 financial year.
"Through these interactions the AG aims to update legislators on how
national and provincial departments; and other public sector entities audited
under the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA) have performed - what were the
areas of improvement from the previous years, problem areas identified, what
were the root causes and how could these be remedied."
