The Auditor General of the National Audit Chamber has flooded the Reconstituted Transitional National Legislative Assembly (R-TNLA) with over 6,000 copies of audit reports that the national assembly should pay attention to as demanded by law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Friday a team of officials from the National Audit Chamber dashed to the national assembly where they delivered accrued audited reports covering top government institutions with others dating back to pre-independence era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Auditor-General, Stephen Wondu noted that political crisis which erupted in 2013 and and 2016 which paralyzed that legislature at some point led the audited reports to remain at Audit Chamber\u2019s custody for years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Auditor General surrendered at least 6,300 copies of audit reports and strategic policy documents a burden that the august house would have to now scrutinize to bring sanity to the public sector accountability management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the list of audit reports delivered to the parliament, totaling to 6,300 copies of books included; Bank of South Sudan Reports 2016 \u2013 2020, Ministry of Petroleum Local Content Reports 2012 \u2013 2014 and Constituency Development Funds 2007 \u2013 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also included; Performance Audit of Juba City Council 2014 \u2013 2017, performance of Juba Teaching Hospital 2012 \u2013 2015, National Audit Chamber Activity Report 2005 \u2013 2018, and Ministry of Finance Integrated Financial Management Information System Report (IFMIS) 2014 \u2013 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking after the handover, Auditor-General, Wondu said as for formalities, laws require them to submit the audit reports to the President and the August House to take necessary action.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, the office of the President has received the reports, (and) parliament has received these reports today (Friday),\u201d Wondu affirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe provided audit reports from 2016 to 2020 for the bank of South Sudan, we also provided audit reports of other institutions; the performance report of Juba Teaching Hospital, we had also the Ministry of Finance integrated management system audit report,\u201d he outlined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Auditor-General added that among the reports presented are the Constituency Development Funds report, the Ministry of Petroleum report, Ivory Bank reports and performance audit of Juba City Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Wondu underlined that they didn\u2019t receive any consolidated financial reports of the national government; as such it was not among those audit reports that were given to the parliament. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn total, the number of books is 6,300, which I hope will be distributed to the members of parliament so that they can study, read and they can do whatever their mandates require them to do,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the Clerk of R-TNLA, Makuc Makuc Ngong who received the audit reports on behalf of the Transitional National Legislative Assembly, said they would set a sitting in the near future for the reports to be tabled before members of the parliament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI want to confirm to the people of South Sudan, the entire Transitional government of South Sudan, the Council of Ministers and Transitional National Legislature that I have received several copies of audit from the Auditor General,\u201d Ngong confirmed to the press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe will schedule sitting for these reports to be tabled before the house as quick as possible,\u201d he promised.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Audit Chamber (NAC) also provided the leadership of parliament with copies of audit manuals and strategies which are; NAC Financial Audit manual 2020, NAC compliance Audit manual 2021, NAC strategic plan 2019 \u2013 2022 among others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
