a) Several members serving on the SABC Board during 2009/10 did not disclose in the standard "Disclosure of Interest" register kept by the office of the Company Secretary whether they had any direct or indirect personal or private business interests in any matter, as required by section 50(3)(a). b) Management did not always follow approved policies and procedures as required by section 57(b). c) A group-wide procurement policy existed within the corporation. However, there were instances where international content acquisition could not be supported by an approved business plan or signed contracts. Instances of premature procurement (i.e. ordering taking place without appropriate legal contracts with suppliers, or without the required signature by the appropriate delegated authority of the SABC having been obtained) were identified. Both these examples demonstrate that the supply chain management policies and procedures were not appropriately adhered to as required by section 51(1)(a)(iii). d) The Board of the SABC did not take responsibility to manage and safeguard the assets, revenue, expenditure and liabilities of the SABC, as required by section 51(1)(c) . e) The system to prevent the unauthorised, irregular, fruitless and wasteful expenditure was not always complied with during the 2009/10 financial year, and as such was not always effective, as required by section 51(1)(b)(ii). f) The SABC Board did not have effective processes in place to collect all revenue due to the SABC. These processes and systems were not operating effectively as required by section 51(1)(b)(i) and section 51(1)(c). g) The SABC's Treasury Policy allows, with the prior written approval from the Minister of Finance, for the delegation of transaction powers from the Board to management individuals within the SABC Treasury. However, the SABC did not have the Minister of Finance's written approval to delegate this power to borrow money, issue guarantees, indemnity and securities or enter into any other transactions that may bind the entity to future financial commitment, as required by section 66(6). h) The SABC did not in the period under review have a centralised compliance control or process in place to ensure the monitoring and reporting of the overall compliance with applicable legislation, as required by section 51(1)(h). i) The SABC did not put in place a formal risk assessment procedure throughout the organisation.
