ZACC finances in a mess

Mildred Chiri Auditor-General (AG) has unearthed massive financial irregularities at the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (Zacc) where most cash transactions were not recorded in the petty cash book with the anti-graft failing to regularly check its bank reconciliation statements.

In her 2014 audit report, Chiri also urged Zacc to ensure that its Mt Pleasant headquarters were registered in the commission's name and not in individuals' names.

She said she had noted that there was disbursement of money from Treasury to Zacc through the Ministry of Home Affairs, but there was no evidence of receipt of such funds by the commission.
