The Auditor-General (AG) completed its annual audit on time and the 2008/09 draft Annual Report was submitted to the SAMSA Board for consideration and approval before the AG's timeline of 31 July 2009. It should be noted that SAMSA obtained an unqualified audit report for the 2008/09 financial year. However, the Board failed to convene and approve the 2008/09 Annual Report. The Chairperson of the Board signed the Accounting Authority's report.
