Auditor-General's Report
In reply to the Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (15 November 2016).
The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety): I am advised:
In 2015-16 there were 11 purchases at a total cost of $4,106.52 identified by the Auditor-General's Department. These relate to 15 restricted items purchased as summarised below.
| Purchased Items | No. restricted items | Value |
| MYOB License Fee Upgrade | 1 | $600.00 |
| SD Memory Card | 3 | $177.98 |
| Camera with SD Memory Card | 1 | $260.00 |
| Camera Case | 1 | $34.95 |
| Go Pros | 3 | $1,647.00 |
| Go Pro Accessories | 1 | $883.63 |
| Vehicle Inspection Camera | 2 | $220.00 |
| Torches | 3 | $282.96 |
| TOTAL | 15 | $4,106.52 |
The $4.1k spend is less than 0.3% of the total SAPOL spend on purchase cards, that is approximately $1.5m in a financial year. All purchases were for the discharge of policing duties and not for personal benefit.
To date there have been no 'restricted item' purchase sanctions. Awareness and education reinforcement will be provided to purchase card holders with each applicant required to agree and acknowledge their responsibilities when using purchase cards.
