Key performance areas • Finance • Prior year audit outcome: • Unqualified with findings on Procurement and supply chain management resulting in Irregular expenditure carried forward from prior years and identified during the 2014/15 audit. • Irregular expenditure has since been tabled to the board of directors for condonement and the board approved the condonement • Current year: • System in place to deter the incurrence of Irregular expenditure i. e. ensure compliance with PFMA and treasury guidelines (clean audit)
