Joburg Market has once again demonstrated its commitment to excellence and accountability, achieving a clean audit for the 2023/2024 financial year. This marks the second consecutive clean audit, following the unqualified audit opinion for the 2022/2023 financial year. This outstanding accomplishment highlights Joburg Market’s dedication to upholding the highest standards of governance, financial management, and operational integrity.
A clean audit, also referred to as an “unqualified audit opinion”, is the highest standard in financial reporting. It signifies that an organisation’s financial statements are free from material misstatements and comply with accounting and regulatory requirements. It also reflects the effectiveness of internal controls and adherence to governance standards.
Joburg Market acting CEO Sello Makhubela expressed pride in the achievement and gratitude to the team. “Achieving back-to-back clean audits is no small feat and is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and commitment of every member of the Joburg Market family. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to our team for their diligence and unwavering focus on excellence. This accomplishment is proof of what we can achieve when we work together with integrity and purpose.”.
As the largest fresh produce market in South Africa, Joburg Market continues to play a pivotal role in the agricultural value chain. These back-to-back clean audits reaffirm its position as a trusted partner for farmers, traders, and consumers, while enhancing its reputation as a leader in the industry.
This achievement aligns with the City of Johannesburg’s vision for transparent and accountable governance. Joburg Market remains committed to driving innovation, sustainability, and growth, ensuring long-term success for all stakeholders and setting a benchmark for excellence in the public sector.
