This problem has manifested in growing wasteful, irregular and fruitless expenditure in a post-apartheid era confronted by a multitude of social-economic challenges. Post-1994, South Africa embarked on a series of policy and legislative reforms to cater for public service regulation. These include the 1999 Public Finance Management Act and the 2003 Municipal Finance Management Act.
South Africa is struggling with measures to counter corruption and the abuse of power. Given that South Africa has instituted and inaugurated a number of critical institutional mechanisms for legislative oversight, the study seeks to explore the reasons for the rampant problems of non-compliance, unaccountability and lack of answerability within South Africa’s public sector since these have serious implications for the future of the country and its ability to address inequalities relating to the history of exclusion of the majority black people, especially Africans.
In light of this growing problem of irregular and wasteful expenditure, the study seeks to locate the role and function of SCOPA as a key parliamentary tool for advancing accountability. The research objective of the study focus on growing problem of financial misconduct and abuse of public funds in the public sector, despite the existence of SCOPA as a parliamentary oversight mechanism.
After considering various theories, the study employs Institutionalism as preferred theory of choice because of its explanatory strength regarding oversight issues. The strands of institutional theory used in this study is the blending of neo-institutionalism and historical institutional.
