Activity on National Treasury’s eTenders Portal leant towards lower-value quotation requests last week, as government departments reassessed their procurement priorities based on finance minister Enoch Godongwana’s latest budget proposal.
Given the somewhat dull week, the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) takes the spotlight with a request for information on an integrated system for internal audit and governance, risk and compliance (GRC).
The move follows the broadcaster turning its 2022/23 disclaimed outcome of its annual report into an unqualified audit in 2023/24. While this demonstrates an improvement in financial management, the company’s financial stability still remains in question, as a new funding model has yet to be determined.
Pointing the Public Finance Management Act, the SABC notes it is required to implement an effective and efficient system of risk management.
“Procurement of an electronic system will assist the SABC not to use manual and error-prone avenues through Microsoft applications like MS Word and MS Excel,” it says in the invitation.
The broadcaster says its GRC function consists of four departments: enterprise risk management, compliance management, internal control and business continuity management. These GRC departments are currently using separate and distinct electronic application systems of input, processing, output and reporting, it says. What’s more, its internal audit function has a separate system from GRC.
“Internal Audit’s Audit Plan is risk-based and the non-integration of its system together with that of the GRC function, may have caused extra effort of sourcing and providing information between these two related divisions when there are systems in the market which may enable seamless processes and procedures for the same purpose with less effort, cost and time saving,” says the SABC.
