What Zimbabwe Auditor-General has said about each of the 101 State enterprises and parastatals over the past 5 years

Zimbabwe’s State enterprises and parastatals are bogged down by governance issues as most have not yet aligned their practices and policies to the provisions of the Public Entities Corporate Governance Act, Auditor-General Mildred Chiri says in her latest report.

“Out of one hundred and forty-six (146) issues I am reporting; one hundred and twenty (120) relate  to  governance  issues,  while  twenty-six  (26)  relate  to  revenue  collection,  employment costs and procurement,” she says.

“I followed up on my prior year (2019) recommendations and noted a significant improvement for the entities audited, forty-six (46) out of the sixty-nine (69), that is  67%  of  these  recommendations  were  implemented,  twelve  (12)  remain  outstanding,  and eleven (11) were being followed up as the audits were in progress.”

Below is what the Auditor-General has said about each of the 101 State enterprises and parastatals her office has audited over the past five years.
