Annual General Report On The Audit Of Local Government Authorities For The Financial Year 2017/18
This report for the year ended 30th June 2018 has been successfully prepared and completed with a support and cooperation received from various stakeholders.
First of all, I would like to express my special appreciations to His Excellency, Dr. John Joseph Pombe Magufuli, the President of the United Republic of Tanzania and his entire Government, for supporting my office and taking seriously matters raised in my audit reports for the purpose of improving accountability in the collection and use of public resources.
I would also like to extend my appreciations to the Paymaster General, Accountant General and other staff under the Treasury, for their commitment and support in the audit process. The Accountant General has been at the forefront in issuing circulars and financial statements guidelines that address our findings on the audit of financial statements from time to time.
Further, I express my sincere thanks to the President’s Office – Regional Administration and Local Governments, all accounting officers and management team of the City, Municipal, District and Town Councils for their full participation in the audit process.
I would also like to acknowledge the dedication of the Parliament to ensure that sufficient budget is allocated to my office to enable me discharge my constitutional responsibility; determination in discussing my report during tabling in its sittings; and holding parliamentary oversight committee meetings with accounting officers which contribute largely to accountability of public resources.
On the other hand I would also like to acknowledge contribution of other stakeholders including Donor Community, consultants, civil society organisation, government probing institutions, for their inputs and comments while in the process of preparation of this report. Their commitment is also highly appreciated.
Lastly, I wish to thank every member of my staff for their dedication to perform the audit in a challenging environment, and working beyond normal working hours to compile this report in order to meet the statutory deadline for submission.
God bless you all.
