SAA needs to provide the Annual Report to me before the SAA Annual General Meeting (AGM). At a minimum, the AGM must consider the 2011/12 Annual Report which must contain the audited Financial Statements as well as the report by the Auditors on the Annual Financial Statements. To comply with this obligation, section 55(3) of the PFMA requires the accounting authority of the entity to submit the Report, for tabling in Parliament, five months after the end of the financial year to the relevant Executive Authority. In this regard, SAA is not been able to submit the financial statements and Annual Report before. This is due to the fact that SAA requires government support in order for the airline's financial statements to be signed off as a going concern. An application has been submitted to National Treasury and a response is expected before the end of September 2012.
