Fraud & Corruption
NPA Prosecution Conversion Funnel
The prosecution conversion funnel tracks corruption dockets from SAPS and Hawks investigation through NPA enrolment to conviction, exposing where cases are lost.
Why Prosecution Conversion Matters
Criminal accountability for corruption is the deterrent that civil and disciplinary action alone cannot provide, yet most dockets opened with SAPS or the Hawks never reach a courtroom. The conversion from investigation to NPA enrolment to conviction is where PRECCA cases are won or quietly lost, and the attrition at each stage is a measure of how seriously the state pursues corruption. AuditPro Core tracks this funnel so that dockets stalling between agencies become visible rather than vanishing.

The Conversion Funnel
Each stage — investigation, enrolment, conviction — sheds cases. The funnel quantifies that attrition and shows whether the loss is in investigation quality, prosecutorial decision or trial.
Docket to Enrolment
A docket only becomes a prosecution when the NPA decides to enrol. Dockets that never reach a decision, or are declined for poor evidence, mark the largest single leak in the funnel.
Evidence Sufficiency
Convictions under PRECCA depend on a complete, well-preserved evidence chain. Weak forensic packs cause declines and acquittals regardless of how strong the underlying suspicion was.
Inter-Agency Handoff
Cases cross SAPS, the Hawks and the NPA, and stall in the gaps between them. Tracking the handoffs reveals coordination failures that no single agency owns.
How AuditPro Core Bridges the Gap
- Funnel tracking: AuditPro Core records each docket's progress through investigation, enrolment and conviction so attrition is measurable.
- Exception escalation: dockets stalled between agencies beyond expected timeframes are flagged for follow-up.
- Traceability to source: every docket links to the originating finding and the evidence pack supporting it.
- Audit-ready reporting: conversion statistics export for oversight bodies tracking criminal accountability.
Key Takeaways
- Most dockets die between investigation and NPA enrolment.
- Evidence quality decides convictions far more than suspicion strength.
- Inter-agency handoffs are where cases stall unowned.
- Measuring attrition by stage shows where to fix the pipeline.
