The study's goal was to find non-compliance issues presented in the provincial departments' annual financial statements for Limpopo for the three fiscal years from 2016–17 to 2018–19. The numerous services that fall under the purview of government departments must be provided while simultaneously making effective and efficient use of the funds allocated to them. The Public Finance Management Act also mandates departments to provide reports detailing their use of allotted funds. As a result, given that they are regarded as a critical instrument for public finance management reporting, the timely completion of annual financial statements in compliance with all applicable legislation is essential.
