Report on compliance with legislation

Expenditure management

27. Effective steps were not taken to prevent irregular expenditure, as disclosed in note 23 to the annual financial statements, as required by section 38(1) (c) (ii) of the PFMA and treasury regulation 9.1.1. The majority of the irregular expenditure was caused by payments made on leases that expired.
