Ingonyama Trust
The Ingonyama Trust Board got a qualified audit opinion from AGSA.
The board disputes AGSA s finding - and also disagrees that the Trust is subject to the PFMA.
Board chairperson Jerome Ngwenya also accused some MPs of not reading the board s annual report.
The Ingonyama Trust Board (ITB) obtained a qualified audit opinion after the Auditor-General of South Africa (AGSA) found it did not disclose the full extent of its irregular expenditure. We are saying this finding is wrong, ITB chairperson Jerome Ngwenya told the Portfolio Committee on Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development.
The ITB disclosed R943 824 as irregular expenditure in the annual financial statements submitted to AGSA for audit purposes.
