Audit Outcomes 2012/13 2011/12 2010/11 Type of Opinion Unqualified Number of emphasis of matters 1 2 The emphasis of matter as a result of restating prior year errors, which were corrected in the current financial year. Errors include: Employee costs; Rental paid; Intangible assets; Re-assessment of property, plant and equipment Notwithstanding the reduction in the number of emphasis of matters structured risk interventions are in place to achieve no emphasis of matters in following financial years. Progress on corrective action on 31 AG findings 33% of findings addressed and confirmed by Internal Audit. 24% of findings Work-in-Progress Remainder of findings to be addressed before the end of the financial year 17 October 2013 SIU presentation to PC on Justice and Constitutional Development

AG findings on Performance Information In Audit 2011/12 the AG makes a finding that SIU should report on eight strategic objectives alternatively obtain express approval from Executive Authority for one strategic objective. SIU applied in November 2012 for such express approval . In the absence of such express approval the SIU advice to report on all eight strategic objectives The implications of this is that SIU reports were not fully aligned to its the strategic plan. However key performance indicators were in place to measure the strategic objectives and drivers This gap resulted in a negative opinion on the performance information for Audit 2012/13. The strategy objective (s) will be aligned to the October 2012 amendment of the SIU Act. 17 October 2013 SIU presentation to PC on Justice and Constitutional Development
