dc.description.abstract | Auditing of financial reports in any organisation is the epicentre of organisational
growth. Financial data has to be gathered, collated and analysed so that audit
opinions can be established. The study sought to investigate the roles played and
challenges encountered by senior management during the conduct of audit
exercises in the Department of Education and Sport Development in Mafikeng.
Quantitative research techniques were used to gather data. A sample size of 50
participants was used in the study and was determined through simple random and
convenience sampling techniques.
The study was confined to the Department of Education and Sport Development in
Mafikeng. The study looked at the respondents’ gender, age, level of education,
position in the department, duration in the current position and perceptions thereof
regarding auditing processes in the department. The majority of the participants
indicated that auditing was the foundation of good governance and assisted in
curtailing wasteful expenditure. It was further established that political and skills
related issues had an impact on the type of audit outcomes in an organisation. | en_US |
