DBSA
DBSA is not covered by the Public Service ACT therefore matters of conflict of interest are managed in line with the DBSA Act and Board approved policies. The DBSA would also not have access to the government systems that can conduct searches on individuals that conduct business with the state.
The DBSA Board has an approved Conflict of Interest Policy which does not allow bank employees or their related parties to do business with the bank. The policy further requires employees to disclose any outside interests an employee may have. Any involvement in outside interests requires the approval of the employee’s manager after satisfying themselves that the interests do not conflict with the business of the Bank, does not affect the employee’s contractual obligations with the Bank, and that the employee will not use their position in the bank to solicit business from the Banks’ clients.
Employees are expected to disclose their interests on an annual basis or as and when there is a change in status. Non- compliance to the policy is monitored by the Ethics Officer and Internal Audit conducts an annual audit on the interests declared.

FAIS OMBUD
PIC
The Public Investment Corporation (PIC) circulates a Declaration of Interest form annually, requesting staff members to declare their business interests. Nothing from the completed forms in our possession suggests that any of our staff members have been awarded any contracts or agreements to conduct business with any state entity.
SAA
SAA Employees are required to sign the annual declaration interest in terms of the Conflict of Interest Policy. Furthermore every bidder/prospective supplier completes and sign an SBD 4 (Declaration of Interest Form) with every submission of a tender.
Based on the policies and the controls in place, SAA has not awarded contracts nor have agreements to conduct business to any of its staff in the 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 financial years. The annual statutory by the external auditors (Auditor-General South Africa) has also not identified any such instances.
SARS
The Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA), in 2014, enacted the Public Administration Management Act, No: 11 of 2014 (PAMA, 2014). The Act prohibits public service employees from doing business with an organ of the State or being a director of a company which conducts business with an organ of the State. In order to give effect to PAMA, 2014, the Minister for the Public Service and Administration issued the Public Service Regulation, 2016 (PSR, 2016) with effect from the 01 August 2016.
In terms of Regulation 13 (c) of the Public Service Regulations, 2016 public service employees are prohibited from conducting business with an organ of state. Prior to the Regulations coming into effect, public servants were not prohibited from doing business with the State and thus not required to disclose if they are doing business with the State.
