Due to non-compliance with asset management policies and procedures, the fixed asset register of the Department is split and incomplete. No reconciliations are carried out to ensure a proper audit trail. The Committee is once more perturbed by the inadequate standard of financial administration within the Department of Labour and recommends that the Accounting Officer correct the matter immediately, inter alia by: 4.1 Reporting to the Minister the target date for the finalisation of a complete asset register for the Department, and where necessary for public entities for whom the Accounting Officer and the Minister are responsible; and 4.2 Ensuring that regular reconciliations are done between asset registers and the general ledger.
