Seeking a forensic investigator to conduct an investigation into whistleblower allegations and assess irregular, fruitless, and wasteful expenditures as mandated by the PFMA. The project duration is four months, requiring expertise in forensic analysis and compliance.
The South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA) invites bids for the appointment of a forensic investigator to undertake a comprehensive investigation into allegations raised in a whistleblower report. This investigation will focus on determining the validity of the allegations, examining relevant documentation, and interviewing involved parties to gather evidence. Additionally, the investigator will conduct a determination test for unauthorized, irregular, fruitless, and wasteful expenditures, ensuring compliance with the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA).
The scope of work includes a detailed forensic investigation covering the period from April 1, 2023, to March 31, 2026, with an emphasis on confirmed irregular expenditures amounting to R171 million. The successful bidder will be required to mobilize resources in both the Western Cape and Gauteng provinces, providing independent assessments and expert opinions on the services rendered. The final deliverables will include a comprehensive investigation report, technical assessments, and recommendations for corrective actions, ensuring transparency and accountability in SAMSA's financial management.
This tender is suitable for forensic investigation firms, accounting and auditing companies, and professionals with expertise in financial compliance and risk assessment. Businesses with experience in public sector investigations and a strong understanding of the PFMA will find this opportunity particularly relevant.
