Irregular expenditure is increasing, but the Auditor General is using more of its powers to get the money back

More than half a trillion rand has been irregularly spent since 2006 by national, provincial and municipal governments.

This week the national leader of audits, Alice Muller, explained that the main thrust of the law would be centered around material irregularities. Once the auditor has worked out how much the loss is from the irregular expenditure, the accounting officer in the municipality will be asked to take action.

But the implementation of the law will roll out in phases. For instance, the 2018/19 national and provincial audit report showed that, from 12 completed audits, there were 28 material irregularities that were identified.According to the Auditor General, the Free State department of human settlements had the highest number of material irregularities. One of those followed from a contract where contractors were paid for projects that were not completed, with R32.9-million lost.

According to Muller, early next year they will release the municipal audits where nine entities will be investigated for material irregularities. These include the cities of Cape Town, Ethekwini, Tshwane and Nelson Mandela Bay.

Irregular expenditure seems to be completely misunderstood. Remove the ridiculous rules, instruction notes, etc. and irregular expenditure will decline by a huge margin.

Maybe the way to solve this is to treat municipalities like children who miss spend picket money: give each one a monthly budget and only top up with the new month when they account for their expenditure and prove production . Don’t report don’t get

Get it back AG..that will go a long way in saving taxpayers..the incompetent & negligent culprits must feel ur sting..

How do you get the money back on irregular expenditure

Go after the culprits Auditor General, start wielding the stick!!🙏
