15. The Findings of the Auditor-General
Audit: unqualified
Matters of emphasis:
- fruitless and wasteful expenditure of R due to,
among many other things, late payment of licence fees and dormant fuel cards.
- irregular expenditure of R resulting from non-
compliance with supply chain management processes.

16. The Findings of the Auditor-General
Information provided to the AG not corresponding with source documents e.g. SAPS 13
Documents such as CAS printouts not made available to AG for data verification purposes.
Lack of oversight and leadership by managers at station and unit level

17. THE END
THANKS!
