Auditor-general welcomes withdrawal of Road Accident Fund court appeal

Auditor-general Tsakani Maluleke has welcomed the withdrawal of an appeal by the Road Accident Fund (RAF) against a Gauteng High Court ruling that it was inappropriate to interdict the AGSA from exercising its obligations to audit and report.

'This is a step in the right direction and a welcome development that confirms our long-held view that the constitutional function of the AGSA, as the country’s independent supreme audit institution, should not be interfered with,' says auditor-general Tsakani Maluleke. File photo.

“Furthermore, we remain convinced that airing accounting and auditing matters before the courts is not in the best interest of audit and financial accountability. We are now preparing for the review application brought by the RAF in the high court, which is set down for argument on October 4 and 5.” “The AGSA reiterates that while any auditee may approach the courts to seek relief, the institution’s dispute resolution processes should be used to resolve audit disputes,” said the AG.
