Annual general report of the controller and - Parliament of Tanzania

to the establishment of the committees in the Ministries,
Departments, Agencies or Region. This authority does not
cover the establishment of the Committees in the Public
Authorities hence the authorities not bound to comply.
Also the composition stated in section 31 of PFA, 2001
states the members of the committees to be the senior
members of the entities mentioned above while some
Corporations establishes the committees as a committee of
the governing board which is a best practice. It is however
noted that some other corporations opt to establish the
committees in line with the PFA, 2001 hence double
standard in evaluating the entities.
With this observation, the Treasury registrar should give
the guidance to the Public Authorities on the best way of
establishing and functioning of the committees in order to
create harmonized controls in the entities.
