In order to achieve the afore-said objective, members asked questions ranging from the understanding of this Chapter 9 institution in support of South African democracy, general understanding of the public finance management with relevant policies and legislations, the funding model the institution is applying, the location of AGSA in the South African Constitution and how this institution should relate with other Chapter 9 institutions in expediting its functions, integrity to possible lessons learnt from Public Finance Management Act (Provincial and National ) and Municipal Finance Management Act (Local government ) audit reports so as to ensure that clean audit is achieved. All the six candidates were given equal opportunity and treated fairly to interact with the panellist to display capability to hold the position of Auditor-General.
