About AGSA

The AGSA looks at strategic government objectives, programmes and initiatives and responds to identified risks in our audit work. Our audit reports contribute to a culture of public sector accountability that makes a difference in the lives of South African citizens. We also strive to lead by example by being a responsible corporate citizen of South Africa. To do this, we have made the following commitments:

Visibility and relevance
Since 2007, we have embarked on a strong drive to promote better financial management by interacting with our auditees, even during periods when audits are not in progress. We give audit opinions, assessments and guidance in a simple, clear and relevant manner.

Our deliberately simplified audit reports now highlight factors (the so-called ‘root causes’) that hinder auditees’ progress towards clean administration. We regularly meet and confer with key decision-makers and those appointed to positions of oversight to ensure their full understanding of our reports. The analyses in our general reports (made accessible to the public) are aimed at improving the state’s overall financial management and service delivery reporting. We conduct two national roadshows annually to present this information to the political leadership, role players and committees responsible for financial oversight in a direct and user-friendly manner.
