etc. Furthermore in 2012 BUSA posted on YouTube an Orientation Programme for new entrants in the business environment outlining different types of corruption as well as Key Tools for Promoting Business Integrity and Ensuring Transparency and Accountability in the Market Place. Some successes have been registered by the anti-corruption machinery, especially in uncovering corrupt practices. In 2010, the DSD uncovered fraud in the administration of social grants and terminated 32 687 fraudulent payments valued at R180 million 22. In 2011, R44 million was recovered from public servants who illegally benefited from a housing subsidy scheme aimed at assisting poor people. As has been reported in the previous report, South Africa established the Asset Forfeiture Unit and asserts successfully seized by the unit and forfeited to the state are deposited into the Criminal Asset Recovery Account. The Unit has, as at 2013, seized assets valued at more than R541million, R61million of which has already been forfeited to the State and would be routed back to the fight against crime and corruption. A R150 million of this amount was approved for the work of the AntiCorruption Task Team referred to in the previous report, comprising of the Hawks, the Special Investigating Unit and the NPA. 3.2 ECONOMIC GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT As stated above, one of the major achievements of the South African government, during this reporting period was the adoption of the NGP in 2010 and NDP in 2012. Both the NDP and the NGP outlines strategic interventions that are necessary to facilitate a paradigm shift in the country’s development thinking from over-reliance on government to co-dependence and joint action. It promotes the building of an efficient state with capacity to transform the economy. More importantly it provides a long term vision to achieve a number of policy objectives. 3.2.1 Public Expenditure Management Capacity Development The 2011/2012 Audit outcomes reflect that the country’s progress towards a clean audit is occurring at a snail’s pace and they also reflect that there has been an increase in the number of annual financial statements that received financially qualified opinions with 25 regressions (12 departments and 13 public entities) and only 21 improvements. An indication has been given that the root cause of adverse, disclaimers and qualified audit opinions are ineffective internal controls, weak checks and balances for all key financial processes, poor reporting and weak validation. This impugns the credibility of financial reporting. Hence the NDP underlines the need to re-skill and re-orientate public servants on the basics of key legislations such as the PSA and PFMA. There is hope that the situation is going to improve given the commitment the provincial leadership (premiers) has made in 2013, to improve internal governance systems, through the recruitment of suitably qualified officials, the up-skilling of the workforce and the maximization of compliance with ethics and standard operating procedures. 22 DSD Annual Report 49
