10.1.2 Human resources SAX had a total of 1 026 employees compared to 931 employees the previous financial year. A breakdown of the airline's staff profile in terms of employment equity revealed an amount of 43% (40% in 2010) white employees compared to 57% (60% in 2010) black employees, with a gender profile of 36% (38% in 2010) female and 62% (64% in 2010) male. A breakdown of group statistics (e.g African, Coloureds. Indians, etc) in terms of gender had not been provided and made it difficult to assess gender equity between and within groups. The auditor was unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence as to the evaluation of the company's share of unrecognised losses, hence the entity received a qualified audit report. 10.1.3 Forensic investigation The Committee was informed that SAX's Ethics Hotline had received an anonymous call with allegations of irregularities in its annual financial statements. The allegations were material and, if substantiated, could negatively impact SAX's audited financial statements. The allegations included R42 million of VAT shown as a debtor by SAX but which may not be fully recoverable from the South African Revenue Service (SARS). SAX undertook to keep the Committee informed of the forensic audit outcomes. In addition, an amount of R16 million had been reported in trade receivables despite indications that the amount may not be recoverable. The findings of the forensic audit investigation would be reported to the board, and SAX would keep the Committee informed of developments.
