- Description
- Public sector reform in South Africa became a reality with the change in political dispensation in 1994 in South Africa the transformation of the public sector became critical in order to provide for a better life for all. This required regulatory frameworks that could establish good governance and a holistic transformation of the Public Sector. The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa Act 108 of 1996 states as its basic principles governing public administration that Public administration must be accountable and transparent to the South African Public its. The South African Constitution serves as the basis for the governance of all government departments. An external independent audit is an important element of a good governance framework. This dissertation examines the role of auditing in supporting effective and good governance in the public sector and it seeks to develop a framework that will be used as a tool towards achieving and maintaining a clean audit outcome that is in line with good governance. The importance of auditing is outlined coupled with an interpretation of what the different audit outcomes mean for the public sector. The case of The Eastern Cape Legislature is used to assist in drawing up a framework that will assist the public sector to achieve and maintain a clean favorable audit outcome. This paper clearly links effective governance with internal control and ultimately audit outcomes. It also makes the point that risk management, effective audit committees and internal audit functions are key elements of the governance process. Furthermore, conclusions are drawn in the form of guidelines for all departments to follow in preparing for an audit as well as a turnaround strategy towards clean governance.
