The annual report is an account of our performance for the financial year against our predetermined objectives outlined in the budget and strategic plan, and a record of our financial statements for that year. We provide Parliament with this report in line with the constitutional value of accountability.

We benchmark our report against best practice, standards and legislation, which plays a role in defining the format of the report and enhances the transparency and completeness of our reporting.

As the supreme audit institution of the country, we endeavour to provide meaningful value to our stakeholders, and contribute to positive changes in the lives of the people of South Africa.

Our work was delivered during a particularly challenging year as we dealt with the impact of the pandemic while trying to meet the legislated timelines to complete audits. The adversity made us stronger as an organisation, as a team and as individuals.
