FOREWORD I am pleased to present my 2007/08 annual general report on the audit of Public Authorities for the year ended 30 th June, 2008. This report presents a compiled version of individual reports on the audit of Public Authorities. In this, the highlights of pertinent issues that impede the efficiency of Public Authorities in discharging the establishment objectives are presented. The intent of this report is to inform the Executive, Legislature, Judiciary, Development Partners and the General Public at large about the main findings, conclusions and recommendations drawn by me on the performance of Public Authorities during the year 2007/2008. In the era of increased need for accountability, transparency and good governance, informed decisions are very vital. To this end therefore I prepare this report to ensure that decision makers in the country are served with relevant, and uptodate information and with technical recommendations on the financial reporting and public resources management of the Public Authorities and Other Bodies in the country. I have prepared this report in compliance with Article 143 of the Constitution of the United Republic of Tanzania. To ensure that work of the CAG adds value in the economic development of the country, we have been reviewing our audit approaches to ensure that the reported findings meet the expectations of our stakeholders. Capacity building of our Auditors has been an area of first priority in ensuring understanding of relevant laws, regulations, circulars, directives and various emerging issues both locally and globally such as those of the ongoing reforms in financial reporting frameworks issued by the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC), INTOSAI and other professional bodies to which my office is a member. It is worth noting that while there is a key role for oversight organs to play in overseeing compliance with laws, regulations and procedures in public entities, ultimately, the responsibility xiv
for the maintenance of a compliant financial reporting framework lies with each Chief Executive Officer of the PA&oB. However, I have to commend the role played by his Excellency the President of the United Republic of Tanzania, the Parastatal Oganisation Accounts Committee (POAC), the Parliament at large and the Development Partners for their continued support in ensuring the existence of enhanced accountability leading to improved governance in the Country.
