There was non-compliance with the B-BBEE Act in that Legal Aid SA did not report on compliance with the B-BBEE Regulations in the Intergrated Annual Report 2016-2017. Incidents of noncompliance with the PPPFA and the PFMA relate to the incurring of irregular expenditure due to non-compliance with SCM policies and procedures The reason for non-compliance with the B-BBEE Act was due to misinterpretaton as to whether the reporting requirements of the Act was applicable to public entities.
