Auditor General, Transparency and Accountability
The auditor general post and department must be overhauled and given greater authority and credence. Staff must be drastically increased, and independent internal auditors should be placed throughout the public service in the ratio of some 1 auditor to 20 staff members. (The logistical and financial feasibility of this has been indicated by independent research. See www.transparency.org.za)
   Accounting controls must be implemented and enforced by public sector managers and the said internal auditors, and quality of work and transaction must be likewise monitored.
   This will improve accountability, increase transparency and reduce corruption and abuse / wastage of public funds.
