• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: The Special Funds Accounts Committee is one of the three watchdog committees in this Parliament.

The Committee further extends appreciation to the Office of the Auditor-General and the National Treasury for the complementary role that they continue to play as we execute our mandate.
