18 PROGRAMME 2 : Investigation of Complaints Mr T Tshabalala

19 Sam Okudzeto, Chairman of Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative's International Advisory Committee remarked “that the price democracies pay for unreformed, unaccountable policing is high. Overall human and national security is compromised in a global environment often prone to terror without and insurgency within. Access to justice, already remote for many, is further distanced from the population at large. The rights of the vulnerable like women, children, minorities, refugees and the vast population of poor that inhabit the Commonwealth go unrealized. Corruption, violence and fear thrive and the rule of law remains an aspiration on paper when it should be the demonstrable assumption on which all people can base their everyday lives”

81 Qualified Report from the Auditor-General
Clearing of Suspense Accounts Limited staff in component: Finance (8) Disallowance miscellaneous account: Transfer from FMS to BAS (1/10/02), to SCOA Only two staff members with knowledge of FMS Action Plan to clear the accounts was planned for 2005/6 New challenges developed - Preparation of documents for four Audits Annual Audit by the Auditor-General ICD audit for Portfolio Committee Forensic audit by the AG for the Portfolio Committee Audit by the P/S Commission - Only one member remained with knowledge of FMS Move of documentation and staff to new offices, middle 2005 - Obtained services of a Consultant (limited success)

82 Qualified Report from the Auditor-General (cont…)
This year, the action plan received priority attention Assistance and training was arranged from the Office of the ED, on Salary-related Ledger Accounts On 28 August 2006 a call was logged with the BAS Helpdesk to open the Bank Account (Dom) to allow manual journals to the amount of R in order to clear the Disallowance Miscellaneous Account. This account was erroneously debited in the process of clearing the Conversion Account. For the first time, the Bank Account on BAS now balances with the PMG Account (National Treasury) Attention is now given to clear the outstanding amount of R in the Disallowance Miscellaneous Account

83 Response: Report from the Auditor-General (cont…)
Delegations The (former) ED delegated the signing authority of amounts above R5 000 to the CFO, as from 08 July 2005 The AG regarded this an “ interim arrangement” until the new HOD would take over In the absence of the CFO, the person appointed to act as the CFO automatically continued the use of the delegated powers The ICD’s financial procedures also require that a copy of the acting letter accompanies the approval to incur expenditure After investigation it became clear that the transactions to the value of R were indeed appropriately authorized during the absence of the CFO The delegations have now been amended and approved by the acting ED on 25 July 2006 to increase the signing powers of the various Responsibility Managers

84 Response: Report from the Auditor-General (cont …)
Staff debtors The 25 debtors raised during October 2005 were due to the clearing of the Conversion Accounts Twenty transactions have been investigated to determine the status of the accounts and to collect the outstanding debts Four debts have been written off and another five in respect of ex-employees as well as three in respect of deceased employees are to be written off
