Finance minister Enoch Godongwana has decided not to grant Eskom a partial exemption from disclosing irregular, fruitless and wasteful expenditure and material losses from criminal conduct in its annual financial statements.

said though irregular expenditure did not automatically equate to fraud and corruption, many comments submitted viewed irregular expenditure as an indicator of how SOEs were managing their finances.

“The Treasury remains of the view that SOEs are facing legitimate technical challenges regarding compliance reporting, and the need to differentiate between corrupt and suspicious transactions and expenditure made in good faith but not necessarily complying with the plethora of financial and non-financial laws and rules.
