George Municipality is proud to announce that it has received its fourth consecutive clean audit for the 2023/2024 financial year, an award presented by the Auditor-General of South Africa.

Executive Mayor Ald. Jackie von Brandis received the award on behalf of the Municipality, joined by the MMC for Financial & Strategic Services, Ald. Iona Kritzinger, Municipal Manager, Godfrey Louw, and Chief Financial Officer Riaan du Plessis.

“This clean audit demonstrates our commitment to transparent, accountable governance and sound financial management,” said Executive Mayor von Brandis. “It is a reflection of strong leadership, disciplined financial management, and a culture of compliance that underpins everything we do. George is striving to be South Africa’s best non-metro municipality — proving that good governance is truly a team effort.”

A clean audit is defined as an unqualified audit opinion with no material findings on performance reporting and no material findings on compliance matters.

MMC for Finance and Strategic Services, Ald. Kritzinger commended the Finance team and all municipal departments on this achievement. “This result is a testament to the dedication and teamwork across the organisation. It showcases the spirit of collaboration that continues to drive our Municipality forward.”

George Municipality remains committed to maintaining the highest standards of governance and financial accountability, ensuring that resources are managed responsibly in the service of all residents.
