Deputy Minister of DTI and Precious (Khosi) Mvulane, GAD MD policies, procedures and segregation of duties including systems can be easily overridden by human. Our reports are more likely to be used by regulators and donors in terms of reliance when they making their decisions. Due to this, the risk is just too high in these sectors. We also have noted complaints from clients from time to time saying that auditors comes once a year and when they come it is too late to take corrective action or even make the perpetrators accountable. To minimize the risk …we have developed an approach that cost effective without comprising our auditing standards. At GAD, we conducts audit every 6 months on the organisations to ensure that what we have recommended is being implemented and organisation are provided tools and guides to be able to deal with the problem and fix it. We focus on building capacity and skills in the organisation that we work with. The approach does not increase costs or even the fee to organisation but it may mean that they pay 50% of their normal audit fee 4 months ealier than they would have.
