13. Public Protector 1. The Committee congratulates the Public Protector on its unqualified audit opinion but notes the matters of emphasis. The first relates to the impairment of the case management system resulting in an impairment loss and, the second, to the PP as a 'going concern', in which an accumulated loss of R5.3 million, with current liabilities, exceeded its total assets by R1.18 million). The PP provided details of the management audit plan to address these two matters. The Committee requests that the PP update it quarterly on progress made, as well as actual expenditure when compared to projected expenditure.
