Audit Outcomes AUDIT OPINION BASIS OF OPINIONQualified audit opinion
During 2010/11 there were inadequate systems of controls to satisfy completeness of penalty revenue and related receivables for the year ended 31 March 2011.
Therefore unable to determine the extent of the understatement of the opening balance of accumulated surpluses and receivables
27
Audit Outcomes
EMPHASIS OF MATTERS DETAILSSignificant uncertainties The increase of permit tariffs which
became effective in April 2011 currently under litigation and still on-going as at reporting period
Restatement of corresponding figures
Comparative figures restated with errors identified during the reporting period – restatement of penalty revenue and related receivables
28
Audit Outcomes COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS
DETAILS
Strategic planning and performance management
Revised strategic plan not approved by the Executive Authority
Annual financial statements
Correction of the annual financial statements subsequent to submission to the Auditor-General (mainly a change in accounting policy for permit revenue and bonus provision)
Procurement and contract management
Non-compliance with PPPFA and Practice notes in relation to quotations, preferential point system, advertisement of bids, etc.
Expenditure management
The agency incurred irregular expenditure of R14 million due to non-compliance with procurement prescripts and R456K in fruitless and wasteful expenditure
29
Challenges and Interventions
KEY CHALLEENGESNormalisation of the Lesotho/South Africa Border Operations – this situation remains unresolved as at year end. However, concerted and renewed efforts were initiated leading to the formation of a Task Team and some progress made.
Audit qualification. The agency received an audit qualification for the current year audit. However, there is improvement in that the current year penalty revenue is not qualified, creating an opportunity to break the cycle of historical audit qualification.
31
Challenges and Interventions KEY INTERVENTIONS
Action plans developed for all the significant audit findings with clear deadlines and responsible persons Developed and managing a dashboard of all the Audit findings to fast track the systematic resolution of these matters.Elevations of business performance, internal control and risk management through capacitation of the function Capacitating Internal Audit function Enhancing performance management systems and in-year monitoring Performance contracts of executives being amended to include key risks and findings identified in the audit report
32
