West Coast College is proud to announce that it has once again achieved a Clean Audit from the Auditor General of South Africa (AGSA), receiving an unqualified audit opinion with no material findings for the 2025 financial year.
This outstanding achievement marks another consecutive Clean Audit for the College and reaffirms its unwavering commitment to financial integrity, sound governance, accountability and regulatory compliance.
A Clean Audit, the highest audit outcome attainable for a public institution under the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA), confirms that the College’s financial statements fairly present its financial position, are free from material misstatements and comply with all applicable legislation. It further demonstrates that effective internal controls, transparent financial management practices and robust governance systems are firmly embedded throughout the institution.
Receiving another Clean Audit is a significant milestone that reflects not only sound financial management but also a culture of excellence that extends across every level of the College.
Principal of West Coast College, Mr Lungisa Mbulawa, welcomed the achievement, saying: “Achieving another Clean Audit is a proud moment for West Coast College. It is a testament to the dedication, professionalism and integrity of our College Council, management, finance team and every employee who contributes to ensuring that we remain accountable custodians of public resources. This achievement demonstrates that excellence is not a once-off accomplishment, but a standard that we continue to uphold.”
He added: “Our stakeholders place their trust in us to manage public funds responsibly while providing quality education and training opportunities. This Clean Audit strengthens that trust and provides a solid foundation as we continue expanding access to education, strengthening partnerships with industry, investing in modern infrastructure and preparing our students for the future world of work.”
The audit outcome further enhances West Coast College’s reputation as an institution committed to excellence, providing assurance to students, parents, government, industry partners, funders and the communities it serves that the College operates with the highest levels of transparency, accountability and financial discipline.
This achievement is particularly significant as the College continues to advance strategic initiatives that support skills development, innovation, entrepreneurship and economic growth. Sound governance and prudent financial management ensure that public resources are managed responsibly and directed towards delivering quality vocational education and training for the benefit of all.
West Coast College extends its sincere appreciation to its College Council, executive management, employees and stakeholders whose collective commitment has made this achievement possible.
As the College looks to the future, it remains steadfast in its mission to provide accessible, responsive and quality education while maintaining the highest standards of governance, ethical leadership and financial responsibility.
