“This is a significant achievement for the department and a testament to the hard work and commitment of the leadership and staff…a clean audit demonstrates the department’s dedication to good governance, financial management, and service delivery.
“This achievement would not have been possible without the collective effort of the entire DPSA team.

His sentiments were echoed by Deputy Minister, Pinky Kekana. “Receiving a clean audit is an important milestone, not just for the DPSA, but for the public service as a whole. It shows that we can deliver efficient, accountable, and transparent government to the people of South Africa.”
“Good governance and accountability are essential for rebuilding trust in the public service. The DPSA has shown what is possible, and we look forward to seeing other departments follow suit,” said Deputy Minister Kekana.
The clean audit outcome means the department’s financial statements are free of material misstatements, its performance information is reliable, and it has complied with key legislation.
