Question NW1852 to the Minister in the Presidency
21 November 2024 - NW1852
Christie, Ms KA to ask the Minister in the Presidency
Whether, considering that Statistics SA accumulated more than R128 million in unauthorised expenditure and more than R13 million in irregular expenditure, resulting in an adverse audit outcome, she has found that the outcome could be attributed to the fact that the position of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is vacant; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, by what date will the CFO be appointed?
