SWELLENDAM MUNICIPALITY RECEIVES CLEAN AUDIT FOR 2021-2022
|
Swellendam Municipality is very proud to announce that it has received a clean audit for the 2021-2022 financial year. The audit outcome has remained unchanged from the 2020-2021 financial year as unqualified with no findings. This marks the seventh clean audit in recent years, a challenging achievement with limited funding and an over-legislated environment. A clean audit opinion obtained for the 2021-2022 financial year confirms that the Auditor General believes the municipality’s financial statements and governance matters are reasonably stated and free from material misstatement.
|
Additionally, it also means that the audit team has not identified any significant issues with the internal control framework, hereby expressing trust in the management of the municipality. The importance of a clean audit goes beyond legislative compliance and the avoidance of fiscal penalties. A clean audit further signifies municipal transparency, one of the most important building blocks of democracy. It is an assurance to residents and taxpayers that their hard-earned money is spent in a healthy and accountable manner.

Executive Mayor Francois du Rand stated ‘the Swellendam Municipality strives to balance legislative compliance with service delivery in such a manner that the best benefit can be obtained in the interest of the community, emphasising the need to balance the plight of the poor with the growth of the economy and sustainable service delivery. Executive Mayor du Rand congratulated the staff and the oversight structures following the positive outcome. Mayor du Rand furthermore assures the community ‘that Swellendam Municipality is committed to continuing on the path of good governance in 2023!’
