Internal Audit
Performance Management System
Chartered accountants were appointed to analyze the risks related to the municipality and to develop an internal audit plan. A Service provider was recently appointed to execute the internal audit plan and the municipality will in future report on the activities of our internal audit team.
This is a critical management tool aimed at ensuring that municipal employees deliver on the Municipal Integrated Development Plan
