4.2.4 The Committee has noted with concern, that despite communication in 2012 from the then Chief Audit Executive, and the affected audit committee members, about the termination of the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson's contracts in July of that year, the annual report indicated that they had resigned. The terminations had occurred shortly after the Committee had received reports from the then Audit Committee that detailed challenges identified in relation to the continued IT- challenges, inaccurate reporting on performance information, poor risk management, and failure by the DCS to properly remedy challenges identified by AGSA. It is noted that the very concerns raised by the those members of the audit committee whose contracts had been terminated, are the ones that had resulted in the DCS poor audit outcome in 2012/13.
