Tabling the audited financial statement for the year ended March 2018 before the City Council, Principal Accountant, Mr Daniel Lelaka said records had been submitted later than the statutory annual submission date of June 30, which was a concern.<\/p>\n

Mr Lelaka drew the councillors\u2019 attention to the Auditor General\u2019s opinion that the balance sheet and the annual accounts as prepared and presented did not present the correct financial position and operational results of the council.

Mr Lelaka highlighted that the council had over P20million surplus in the financial year 2017-2018.<\/p>\n
