The public works and infrastructure department has suffered seven 'material irregularities' which cost the state R43.3m from 2019 to date, parliament’s standing committee on public accounts heard on Wednesday.

The audit outcomes of the department's property management trading entity had remained unchanged over the past four years, continually achieving a qualified audit opinion.

The AG found disciplinary steps were not taken against officials who incurred and permitted fruitless and wasteful expenditure, and losses were not recovered from those responsible. In the 2020/2021 financial year, neither the department nor the trading entity incurred fruitless and wasteful expenditure. The AG, however, said it was a concern that there was no movement on such expenditure incurred in the prior years.

The AG also found that some contractors had tax issues which had not been declared by the SA Revenue Service to be in order.
