- Description
- The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the Auditor-General’s findings in controlling public funds, with specific reference to the Bojanala Platinum District Municipality. The research is comprised of six chapters. The research adopted the qualitative research methodology approach. The study provides academic input into public administration, specifically for improving service delivery performance, control and financial performance management in municipalities. The study could contribute to the establishment of effective methods for monitoring municipalities’ control of public funds. The research also identified several strengths and weaknesses of the BPDM, which are vital for effective and efficient service delivery to the community. It is envisaged that other municipalities in South Africa will learn something from it. Furthermore, this research study envisages promoting the best control of public funds within the BPDM and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of service delivery to ensure communities’ well-being and dignity. Based on the findings primarily from the literature review and empirical survey, various recommendations are presented on how the existing status quo of the BPDM can be changed to enhance the better control of public funds, which can assist in service delivery and are aligned with the Batho Pele principles. If these recommendations are adopted, the BPDM will be able to deal with the developmental obstacles it currently faces more effectively and efficiently.
