The Committee requested the details on progress made in addressing findings made by the Auditor-General of South Africa (AGSA) in previous audit cycles. The Committee pointed out that addressing matters of emphasis highlighted in the findings of the AGSA was critical in enhancing governance in the Agency. The NYDA indicated that in the previous audit cycle, there were two main areas of emphasis, namely, compliance with supply chain management (SCM) regulations and loan impairments. Positive progress has been made on both fronts with significant reductions of non- compliance with SCM procedures and the pursuance of legal processes to recoup outstanding loan repayments.
