The Auditor General Report said these irregularities represent trade debtors, staff debtors and outstanding loans.

The Auditor-General Report further said the absence of effective debt collection policies, non-existence of credit controls to recover the debts and management’s indifferent posture towards loan recovery contributed significantly to these anomalous conditions.

Also, improper maintenance of records on debtors, the absence of debtors’ ageing analyses, non-documentation of agreements stipulating the terms and conditions of loans, failure to ensure that loans are repaid and management’s non-compliance with rules and regulations accounted for these irregularities.

The Auditor-General recommended that Management of Public Boards, Corporations and other Statutory Institutions should strictly adhere to rules and regulations with regards to debts management.
