Civilian Secretariat for Police Service gets sixth clean audit

The Civilian Secretariat for Police Service (CSPS) received its sixth consecutive clean audit for the 2025/26 financial year, according to the CSPS. This marks a remarkable achievement, as it is the sixth time in a row that the CSPS has received a clean audit. The CSPS is one of the law enforcement agencies briefing the Portfolio Committee on Police on their annual financial performance.

Richard Mashilwane, the Director of Strategic Management at CSPS, expressed pride in the department's accomplishments. He stated that the CSPS is pleased to report maintaining its six consecutive clean audit outcomes for both financial and non-financial information, as well as compliance with relevant policies and legislation. Mashilwane emphasized that these achievements are the result of collective efforts within the police department, involving governing structures and the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC).

Additionally, the CSPS highlighted that 140 police stations have been prioritized for implementing the Crime and Violence Prevention Strategy. These stations are part of the department's efforts to combat crime and ensure the safety of communities across the country.
