Exciting auditing environment where i have learnt about auditing and service delivery.
The Auditor General of South Africa (AGSA) is a chapter 9 institution My typical work day involves the following: Checking Outlook and confirming scheduled meetings and stakeholder engagements as well as urgent information requests. Have learnt about the relationship between audit findings and their impact on service delivery. I enjoy being tasked with the responsibility of building relationships with research institute that assist the AGSA to understand the government departments' work The challenge of the job is to strive to change the perception of seeing the work of the AGSA as that of being a "policing" department or entity.
Pros: An excellent place to understand how public funds are spend to address the tripple challenges facing our government: poverty alleviation, building an equal society, and job creation
Cons: More South Africans need to understand the work that the AGSA does to improve service delivery, this mandate doesn't receive the attention it deserves.

Excellent
We would go to clients and audit. I have audited 4 public entities. Department of Royal Household, Department of Human Settlements, Zululand District Municipality and uMhlathuze Municipality. We audited the components like inventory, property, plant and equipment, cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, non current liabilities and current liabilities. I have gained a thorough and sound knowledge of the audit process from the gathering of audit evidence stage through to the evaluation stage, where I express an independent audit opinion on the fairness and presentation of the annual financial statements. it bas been an exciting opportunity for me, but most importantly I have had an insight of what actually happens at the municipalities, making necessary recommendations to management to minimise the risks they might be exposed to.
Pros: I am a team player
Cons: I am unable to challenge a senior employee that I am assigned to work with but im working on it.

Excellent Training Institution
I work more than the required hours per day due to the nature of the work that I do, I report for work at 7:30am and leave at 4:30pm. I have a good relationship with my team members, I am an open person, friendly and very eager to learn. Through my article years at AGSA I have learnt the importance of working in a team, having respect for different cultures and different age groups. I enjoy getting to meet new people, meeting new clients and building the confidence of South Africans through auditing public sector. The most challenging aspect of the job is the extensive over time worked during the reporting periods.
Pros: Building the confidence of South Africans, Opportunities provided for academic support
Cons: Extensive over time hours worked

Exposure and experience
To whom it may concern After 5 years working at the Auditor General South Africa, I have contributed to the growth and success of the company through the major and minor projects I worked on. I am seeking a new challenge with a company in need of someone with exceptional planning, leadership, and excellent oral and written communication abilities. AGSA is the best company to work for especially because they invest in their employees education and training. The hierarchy structures however have a negative effective as there is lack of accountability however where opportunity, you will be well rewarded. Matilda Kholofelo Aphane
Pros: Stabilibility and support to learning
Cons: Resistance to change and bureaucracy
