REPORT OF THE ACCOUNTING OFFICER
for the year ended 31 March 2008 (continued)
8.3.1.3 The Minister of Defence approved a new structure for risk management in the DOD under
the auspices of the Chief of Defence Policy, Strategy and Plan at the Defence Secretariat. The
DOD is at present busy with the staffing of these posts, with a completion date 1 August 2008.
This section will combine the DOD’s strategic risks, operational risks and resource risks into one
centralised DOD risk register to ensure that all DOD risks are properly managed, controlled and
mitigated.
8.3.2 Fraud Investigation and Prevention
8.3.2.1 The Anti-Corruption and Anti-Fraud Strategy is based on the three main outcomes of the National
Anti-Corruption Summit of 1999, namely preventing corruption, combating corruption and
building integrity and raising awareness. In order to achieve the desired result, it was important
to introduce a strategy to advise, direct, and guide members of the DOD on the approach to
the seriousness of corruption and fraud. The emphasis was on corruption and fraud awareness
on which members of the DOD were addressed. The toll-free number of the Anti-Corruption
and Anti-Fraud hot line appears on the monthly pay sheet of every DOD official. The anticorruption
and anti-fraud awareness campaign of the DOD, which is spearheaded by the Defence
Inspectorate Division, has now reached all members.
8.3.2.2 The Directorate Anti-Corruption and Anti-Fraud, responsible for the prevention of corruption
and fraud and acting as the nodal point for forensic auditing in the DOD developed and
implemented the under mentioned functional flow diagram conducting of its business:
