The UIF has had to change how it approves payments to companies after a Pretoria man allegedly defrauded it to the tune of R5.7m.

She said part of the investigation into the matter would be whether there was foul play by UIF officials.

“So all the information that the employee had already captured, the information that he provided, even the banking details that were existing in the system at the time, the account could see ... and because the accountant was on the profile, the accountant could have changed those banking details if he needed to,” said Maluleke.

“One of the key things that we have also put in place, which we picked up that it was also a gap in the control, was on the issue of the confirmation of the banking details.
