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

In ConclusionIn Conclusion

• The C-BRTA is geared to demonstrate its commitment to adding public value through its strategic interventions.

• This Agency is also poised to support the National Programme of Action of government of industrialization and job creation.

• The executive committee is geared towards breaking the cycle of audit qualifications
