CGA heads to AGM without auditors and no reasons have been given for this.
Central Gauteng Athletics’ (CGA) auditors walked away almost seven weeks ago, and neither side will say why.
Numeriq Incorporated has confirmed it gave notice of its resignation as CGA’s auditor on 17 September 2026.
But the firm refused to explain the decision.
It said questions about the reasons, CGA’s financial statements and the audit report must go to CGA’s board.
CGA’s board, in turn, says it will only respond after its meeting this Saturday, 7 November.
Responding to Africa Daily’s questions, Numeriq director Muhammad Cachalia said: “We confirm that Numeriq Incorporated gave notice of its resignation as auditor of Central Gauteng Athletics on 17 September 2026.”
He ruled out a dispute over money. “There are no fees outstanding. CGA’s account with the firm has been settled in full,” he said.
Asked why the firm would not be represented at CGA’s AGM and Special General Meeting on 7 November, he said: “Attendance at an organisation’s general meetings is not an obligation of its auditor.”
On everything else, Cachalia said: “We are not able to respond to your remaining questions. As a registered auditor, the firm is bound by the confidentiality requirements of the IRBA Code of Professional Conduct, which continue to apply after an engagement has ended. Questions regarding CGA’s annual financial statements, the audit report, the reasons for the resignation and the organisation’s meetings should be directed to CGA’s Board.”
Numeriq did not say whether it had signed off CGA’s financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025, or whether it had reported any matter to the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors.
CGA general manager Mandla Radebe did not answer Africa Daily’s questions either.
“The Board will deliberate on these matters at the upcoming Council meeting scheduled for Saturday, 7 November 2026.
“After the meeting we will issue an official statement or consolidated response addressing the matters raised,” Radebe said.
The questions sent to CGA included why clubs were only told about the resignation six weeks after it happened, who would present the financial statements at Saturday’s meeting, whether new auditors had been identified, and who is currently CGA president.
Africa Daily reported on 30 October that CGA had informed its affiliated clubs of Numeriq’s resignation in a memo dated 29 October 2026.
