The 2024/2025 Public Finance Management Act audit results were a case of same old, same old. Only 151 auditees achieved clean audits - that is 36% of the audit base of 417 auditees. However, this 36% is responsible for only 12% of the total expenditure budget. Auditor-General Tsakani Maluleke explained that this means many of the larger entities, some of them overseeing billions of rands, do not get a clean audit as these tend to reside among the smaller auditees.
