Abstract
This report provides perceptions of the state of governance of municipalities, including its relation to Corporate Governance, Municipal Compliance with the King 2 Report and the Public Finance Management Act, and the Municipal Finance Management Bill. This project has examined the processes and institutions through which effective local governance unfolds, assesses decision-making and current procedures dealing with compliance and anti-corruption, and evaluates the extent of transparency in local governance. The ultimate aim of the report is to develop a framework, associated indicators and practice guidelines for improving local governance in South Africa.-
