Internal Control Framework

While acknowledging responsibility for the overall internal framework, the Centacare Council recognises there is no cost–effective internal control system that will preclude all errors or irregularities.

To ensure accountability and sound corporate governance practices, the Council continued to maintain:

• a Finance Committee to assess the financial decisions, review the budget and cash flow; and
• minutes of all meetings for the Council committees, special interest groups and project groups.

Centacare has maintained operations in accordance with the Constitution. We seek to provide as accurate information as possible based on written procedures, policies and guidelines through an organisational structure that provides appropriate division of responsibility and accountability as well as the appropriate selection and training of personnel.

Centacare reports its state of affairs and operations to relevant authorities in accordance with funding agreements.
