Municipalities in Gauteng are failing to improve their compliance with legislation, and most of them do not comply with procurement legislation.
Finance and economic development MEC Lebogang Maile said these issues remained a stumbling block to good governance in the province.
On Thursday, Maile responded to Gauteng municipalities' recent 2022/23 auditor-general's audit outcomes.
The provincial treasury embarked on operational plan support and monitoring activities, including activities to improve the financial reporting control environment.
The department has also introduced new initiatives beyond standard support given to the municipalities to improve the credibility of the annual financial statements (AFS).
