BOTESSA keen to appoint own auditors

The Botswana Tertiary School Sports Association (BOTESSA) is keen to appoint its own auditors following reports that the Botswana National Sports Council (BNSC) will not renew its contract with accountants, Mac Consultants and auditors, Price Water House Coopers. BOTESSA president, Jan Erasmus informed the association's Ordinary General Meeting (OGM) in Jwaneng over the weekend.

The two companies were engaged by the BNSC, on behalf of their affiliates. Like other sport codes, BOTESSA accused the two organisations of delays in auditing their accounts. Erasmus said they have in many instances postponed their Annual General Meetings (AGM) due to delayed audits. He added that  they are keen to appoint their own auditors.

On other matters, Erasmus told the meeting that they are facing constraints in preparing the team for the forthcoming Confederation of Universities and Colleges of Southern Africa (CUCSA) and FASO games. He said the BNSC has advised them to reduce the number of CUCSA team members because of financial challenges. He however, said they are in negotiations with the Council, with the hope that they will reverse their decision.  The association will also embark on a number of fundraising initiatives to augment what they received from the BNSC.One such initiative was a sponsored walk before the OGM. The walk and the OGM were sponsored by the South African company, Boyz Men and water company, O2.
