Contingent liability: The Committee expressed concern regarding the fact that the Authority is not budgeting for contingent liabilities and further stated that the Authority has continuously ignored the recommendation made by the Committee to budget for contingent liabilities. Use of Consultants: The Committee expressed concern pertaining to the excessive use of consultants and questioned why these consultants are seemingly doing the work for which PSIRA employees are being paid for. The Committee expressed approval of the fact that the Authority halved the cost of consultants since 2010/11, but stated that the amount spent on consultants remained too high.
