IT’s all systems go at Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati district municipality. The beleaguered municipality scooped two Institute of Municipal Finance Officers IMFO awards recently showing some improvements.
The mayor at Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati district municipality, Boitumelo Mahlangu said they scooped Improved Municipality on Audit Outcome (IMOAO) and most Risk Management Function (RMF) awards respectively during Institute of Municipal Finance Officers’ Annual Conference (IMFO) 2016.
The event was held at the International Convention Centre, in Durban.
“The new administration is aiming to take the municipality to the greater heights. It is of paramount importance that both political and administrative arms must maintain the status quo and improve to the highest level.
“We will continue to pull together in one direction as guided by the philosophy of saamtrek-saamwerk initiative. We also want to obtain the first position,” Mahlangu said.
IMFO is the recognized professional body for finance, audit, risk management, performance management and related professionals in the public sector.
The Institute was founded in 1929, and is dedicated to establish and maintain high standards of professionalism among practitioners by providing a framework for them to collectively enhance, maintain sustainable financial management and good governance in the management of public finances.
