One reference for each phase of the cycle.
Practitioner references for South African public finance — PFMA and MFMA, in equal measure.
The series follows the public-finance management cycle as practitioners experience it — each volume picks up where the last leaves off, from planning and allocation through to independent assurance.
Budget Management and Expenditure Control
From appropriation to year-end: budget preparation and approval, implementation, expenditure control, in-year monitoring, adjustments, and the management of unauthorised expenditure.
Supply Chain Management
Procurement integrity end to end — the PPPFA and the 2022 Regulations, the demand-to-disposal lifecycle, bid committees, contract management, the high-risk failure modes, audit defence, and what changes under the Public Procurement Act.
Irregular, Fruitless and Wasteful Expenditure
Preventing, detecting, disclosing, and remediating non-compliant expenditure under the PFMA and MFMA — through to the material irregularity framework and the compliance system that keeps it from recurring.
Financial Misconduct and Consequence Management
Consequence management in practice — investigation, the disciplinary process, criminal referral and PRECCA, recovery mechanisms, and the material irregularity framework.
Annual Financial Statements and Reporting
Preparing defensible annual financial statements — closing off, the statements and notes, non-compliant expenditure disclosure, the AGSA audit process, the opinion spectrum, and improving audit outcomes.
Internal Audit and the Audit Committee
Building independent assurance — risk-based internal audit planning, methodology, the audit committee’s mandate and practice, and combined assurance.
Accountability Pack
Budget Management and Expenditure Control paired with Financial Misconduct and Consequence Management — from where the money is committed to where the consequence lands. R995.
Working Excel templates that put the volumes to work.
Each tool is a ready-to-use spreadsheet — registers, trackers and reporting templates that turn the reference into day-to-day practice.
