Scopa demands Treasury report

Parliament’s watchdog on public accounts yesterday ordered National Treasury to hand over a forensic report into the integrated financial management system (IFMS) by tomorrow.

Treasury director-general Dondo Mohajane informed the standing committee on public accounts (Scopa) that while the report was complete, some information had to be verified as it implicated individuals at the Treasury.

Members of parliament were not impressed and insisted the report be submitted to them this week.

National Treasury appointed Nexus Forensic to probe the failed implementation of IFMS, the IT system meant to integrate payroll, financial and supply chain management in the public service, which cost over a billion rands. – ANA
