The reply is as follows: All the advances for the amount of R176,5 million are only captured after the documentation has been received and correctly checked. These advances then become valid transactions that are reflected on our financial management system.
With regard to question two, the answer is no. The problem is that we have two financial systems. I've been saying this to Shah but I'm going to repeat until he understands me. Of course, my job, even in the church, is to preach every day, even if I've preached the previous week. The two systems are not integrated and as a result the auditor is unable to trace transactions back to the source documents - I've already said that, Shah.
The Department of Defence is currently in the process of finding a solution to the problem by combining the information of the two systems into an Information Management Centre. As a result, the Department of Defence has developed plans to implement the integrated financial management system in line with the National Treasury's expectations. Of course, like I said, when answering Question 360, the question is similar but it has just been put in a different language. That's the same question I answered in Question 360.
