Peter Kesitilwe, Managing Director, Local Enterprise Authority (LEA), Southern Africa

What are your key responsibilities in your current role?

My job is both strategic and operational. Strategically I manage the resources of LEA, which includes amongst others, ensuring a high level of technical competencies amongst staff, as well as operational financial resources in terms of planning,
organising and control.

I establish, implement, and maintain the financial management and accounting systems and procedures for accurate recording of all financial business transactions.

This function is critical as it ensures timely maintenance and preparation of LEA’s management accounts for decision making, as well as financial statements in
accordance with internationally accepted accounting standards and conventions
which reflect the accurate financial status of LEA.
