An analysis of the security vetting files of 19 employees within a South African National Department ("the researched department"), who had been found guilty of financial misconduct in the last five years, uncovered that existing security vetting processes did not detect the financial misconduct of which these employees have been found guilty. This research sets out to establish whether security vetting can be extended to include the detection of financial misconduct within said department and if so, how. Moreover, if security vetting can indeed be so extended, can it possibly enhance the management of fraud risk across all South African public sector departments. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 27 employees, who are key to fraud risk management and security vetting within the researched department. During the interviews, the following 5 themes emerged, were probed and are reported on: (1) the reasons why employees commit financial misconduct and (2) why it is not detected by the security vetting process; (3) the potential alignment of the security vetting process to facilitate the detection of financial misconduct; (4) the following through on security vetting findings, and (5) particularly sharing these findings with 1 the internal audit and risk management functions within state departments. The research established, firstly, that security vetting can indeed be extended to include the detection of financial misconduct within the researched department, and secondly, that it can enhance the management of fraud risk across all South African public sector departments, given the specific mandate of the State Security Agency ("SSA") and the national security vetting strategy.

Im allgemeinen sind nicht nur die Diakylamide der Difluorphosphorsaure selbst biologisch aktive Verbindungen, sondern sie dienen auch als Ausgangsstoffe zur Gewinnung der Fluor-*)

art historical research often assumes that sculptures of the Virgin mary originally stood on the northern nave altar in scandinavian parish churches. However, evidence suggests that several enshrined marian sculptures actually had their place on the main altar in the chancel. This claim can be reconstructed with regard to the surviving tabernacle shrines in (and from) the small norwegian parish churches of Hedalen, Reinli, and Hove. in addition to the shrines, a number of altar frontals with marian imagery also probably belonged to main altars. seen in their wider european context, these norwegian altar decorations follow a homogenous pattern, common to large parts of Western europe, that may be explained by the rise of a unified religious culture in aspects such as liturgy and theology. on the main altar, the Virgin and child constituted the focal point of the church interior. This prominent position reflects the central role of the mother of god in the history of salvation as an instrument of the incarnation. on the main altar, mary refers to this christian mystery through her image as well as in the narrative scenes shown on the inside of the wings that surrounded the sculpture.
