  • Financial management systems are managed in accordance to policies and procedures and that management accounts and audited annual financial statements are produced.
  • Having the capacity to administer the property and other resources under its control through an effectively organised and managed office.

The following awards will be made to organisations that best demonstrate good governance practices:

  • First Prize: R200 000
