The metro’s efforts in promoting good corporate governance haven’t gone unnoticed.
The city’s risk management department was recently a recipient of two awards from two prominent independent bodies, who’re at the centre of promoting governance, risk and compliance management in South Africa.
The Chartered Institute of Government Finance, Audit and Risk Officers (CIGFARO/IMFO) awarded the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality a “Clean Administration Award to Risk Management Unit”, for subscribing to clean audit processes for the 2015/16 financial year.
- Institute of Risk Management South Africa (IRMSA) awarded the metro an “Industry Initiative Award: Government and Public Services” for an outstanding contribution towards risk management.
- At the same event, chief risk officer Musa Khumalo, was the runner-up for the IRMSA “Risk Manager of the Year” award.
Khumalo said: “It’s indeed a great honour for the municipality through the Risk Management Department, to receive these awards and to be recognised amongst the best – as leaders in governance both at municipal level, plus the public sector at large.
“We owe this success to many of our stakeholders throughout the institutions, who continue to support our efforts.
“Such achievements continue to challenge us to do better; and remain relevant to the needs of the institution and our communities.
“Central to building confidence in the institution, is ensuring sustained levels of good governance.”
The metro will continue to strive towards building an accountable, transparent and ethical government.
With two consecutive clean audits, the metro understands the importance of ensuring a clean administration built on solid government.
