Ugu receives improved audit outcome

The Auditor General of South Africa recently tabled an audit outcome before the full Ugu District municipal council for the 2021/22 financial year.

The Auditor General presented a remarkable improved audit opinion for the year under review where the municipality has progressed to an unqualified audit.

This improved audit outcome can be attributed to the resilient character of the municipal leadership which despite all the detractors succeeded in implementing stringent measures which were poised to deliver an improved audit outcome.

In accepting the audit outcome, speaker of council, Sizwe Ngcobo said: “The municipality recognises and supports the work of the Chapter 9 institutions such as the Auditor-General of South Africa (AGSA) in strengthening our democracy through the execution of the important task of oversight, accountability, and good governance in the municipality. It is through institutions like AGSA that the municipality can measure and reflect on its efforts of improving the lives of communities it serves. And having noted the Auditor General’s comments, the leadership of the municipality re-affirmed its commitment to continue in improving the quality of audit outcomes for the next financial year. A consolidated Audit Corrective Action Plan with timeframes has been developed by the municipality which seek to address and clear all the issues raised by the Auditor-general’s report.”
