2.1 Auditor-General's remarks The AGSA pointed out in his address to the Committee, that the auditing to build public confidence has inspired the AGSA to stay focused and improve its business processes. He further emphasised that the AGSA's actions are driven by an appetite to realise good governance and clean administration, not only for the benefit of auditors, but for the greater good of the country. The AGSA appreciated the support of government in responding on time to AGSA's invoices, as this contributed positively to AGSA ability to carry out its mandate independently. The AGSA continue to work with the provincial leadership to resolve the local government debt collection challenges that still remain in some of the provinces.
