‘Auditor-General grossly underfunded’

THE Office of the Auditor-General says it is grossly underfunded and has requested for more funding from the Treasury in the 2024 budget.

Acting Auditor-General Rheah Kujinga revealed this while appearing before the Public Accounts Committee to submit bids for the 2024 national budget.

She said Treasury had provided 30% for the projected requirements in the previous budget, which made it extremely challenging to carry out its mandate.
