Section 116 of the Municipal Finance Management Act requires a valid mandate and dual sign-off before a third party collects on a municipality's behalf. Here's how the platform keeps that visible.
A lapsed or unsigned mandate is visible on the tenant's compliance view before it becomes a finding, rather than being discovered during an audit. This page is a plain-language summary — it isn't legal advice, and your own supply chain management team should confirm mandate requirements for each engagement.
Every appointment contract is captured per client entity with start date, end date, scope and the approving officials.
Mandates inside 30 days of expiry are flagged to the tenant administrator, so renewal starts before collection has to stop.
A mandate is only treated as valid once both the Accounting Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have signed off.
Collection activity on a client entity is held until a valid, in-date mandate is on record.
Who captured, edited or approved a mandate, and when, is logged and cannot be edited afterwards.
Export the mandate history and activity log for the Auditor-General, internal audit or Treasury queries.
Alignment, not legal advice: your supply chain management team should confirm mandate requirements for each engagement.
