SIU Referrals & Recoveries
Matters referred to the Special Investigating Unit and the value recovered or in court.
From referral to rand recovered
Referring a matter to the Special Investigating Unit is a powerful escalation, but the public value lies in what is ultimately recovered or recouped through the Special Tribunal, not in the referral itself. This screen tracks matters referred to the SIU and the value recovered or in court. AuditPro Core links each referral to its recovery status so the pipeline from suspicion to restitution is visible end to end.

What an SIU referral means
The SIU investigates serious maladministration and corruption under a presidential proclamation and can pursue civil recovery through the Special Tribunal. Referral signals that a matter has outgrown internal processes.
Referral is not recovery
A referral begins a long investigative and litigation process; recovery may take years and may not fully materialise. Tracking value recovered separates activity from outcome.
The Special Tribunal pathway
Civil recovery flows through the Special Tribunal, which can set aside unlawful contracts and order restitution. Cases in court represent value that is contested but not yet recovered.
Pipeline visibility
Seeing referrals, in-court matters and actual recoveries together exposes where the pipeline leaks. A bulge of long-standing referrals with no recovery is itself a finding.
How AuditPro Core Bridges the Gap
- Referral tracking: each SIU referral is logged with its proclamation and current stage.
- Recovery linkage: referrals link to amounts recovered, in court or written off.
- Continuous monitoring: long-dormant referrals surface for follow-up.
- Audit-ready export: the referral-and-recovery pipeline exports for oversight reporting.
Key Takeaways
- Referral escalates; recovery delivers value.
- Recovery runs through the Special Tribunal.
- Track recovered, in-court and referred separately.
- Dormant referrals signal a leaking pipeline.
