Over the past seven years the scope and mandate of the institute was extended to cater for other related professions to accommodate local government sector auditors, risk practitioners and organisation performance specialists.
With the latest name change, CIGFARO’s objective is to address numerous challenges facing the public sector finance and related professions practitioners. It is registered in terms of Section 21 of the Companies Act and is an Association Not for Gain.
The institute plays and important role as a professional body in public finance management and seeks to further contribute constructively in the policy formulation processes relating to government finance, internal audit and risk management.
The new corporate identity will be evident in all communication with immediate effect, while phasing out the old brand.
