ANDM OPERATION CLEAN AUDIT LAUNCH TREASURY SPEECH
We are honoured as Provincial Treasury to have been invited to this great occasion organized by the municipality.
Let me convey apologies from the Acting Head of Provincial Treasury (Mr Qonda Kalimashe), the General Manager – Municipal Finance (Mr Thomas Sesele), and the Senior Manager – Municipal Finance (Mr Andile Magalela) for being unable to attend today. As you may well know, the Parliament Select Committee on Approppriations was in the Province for 3 days ending in East London late in the evening yesterday. The Acting HOD and the General Manager attended these engagements until late yesterday.
Perhaps it is fitting to state why the Parliament Select Committee on Appropriations, also known as National Council of Provinces (NCOP), was in the province. The Committee selected 12 municipalities in the province for this visit in order to exercise their oversight role and to monitor provision of municipal services and support given to municipalities. The focus of these engagements was largely on the financial management, audit outcomes and service delivery issues.
What featured strongly during the deliberations was how municipalities were going to improve their audit outcomes. So, this particular occasion occurs at the right moment when even Parliament is asking questions about how the municipalities are going to turn around their situations in order to provide quality service delivery.
As departments, the Select Committee wanted to find out what kind of support will we be providing to municipalities to achieve clean audits.
The Provincial Treasury together with the Department of Local Government and Traditional Affairs (DLGTA) and other key stakeholders are part of the Provincial Audit Improvement Coordinating Committee (PAICC) whose main goal is to support and assist municipalities and provincial departments to eradicate all adverse opinions and disclaimers by 2012 and to achieve financially clean audit opinions by 2014, and to ensure that municipalities improve governance and financial control systems, and sustain the quality of financial statements.
Since your municipality is one of those that received an adverse audit opinion in the 2008/09 financial year, it will therefore receive a targeted support to improve the outcomes.
A technical committee of the PAICC focusing on specific workstreams has been formed. These workstreams relate to areas that the Auditor-General identified as having led to unfavourable audit opinions in municipalities. Municipal audit action plans will also be taken into consideration when support is provided.
One of the key areas or workstream that Provincial Treasury will be participating in will be on improving financial management and finance governance. Key to this support as was also identified by the Select Committee on Appropriations is the implementation of GRAP (Generally Recognised Accounting Practice). As we noticed in the municipality’s audit action plan, this will be one of our main focus area of support as a department.
Let us congratulate your municipality for embarking on this great initiative and taking a bold step forward to improve its position in order to provide quality services to the community of Alfred Nzo.
As Provincial Treasury, we pledge our support to your municipality’s clean audit campaign and assure you of our ongoing assistance in this journey towards achieving clean audits and resultant improvement in service delivery.
I thank you.
