Relevance to Auditors, Independent Reviewers & Accountants:

The PFMA is yet another piece of legislation that your relevant national and provincial departmental clients must comply with, and which you must assess compliance with. If they don’t comply with the relevant laws and regulations, you have certain reporting obligations in terms of NOCLAR (NOn-Compliance with Laws And Regulations) – this could include reporting to management, qualifying your audit opinion, reporting a Reportable Irregularity, etc.
As an auditor and independent reviewer, you need to consider and assess compliance with the departments that use the MCS, as required by the PFMA, including consideration of the implications of the recent flooding on financial reporting.
These accounting manuals provide guidance when applying the MCSs to present financial information.

Relevance to Your clients:
