The financial manager should also have their pay deducted for not clearly explaining to their staff, in writing, how they wanted the job done.

If you were an independent supplier, they could well have withheld payment, but our labour laws are generally skewed towards the employee at the moment, so I seriously doubt that they are entitled to do anything of the sort with you.

If they deduct off your last payslip, I would take it straight to the CCMA. If you have already been paid I would pretty much do nothing, as I find it highly unlikely that they will take expensive legal action to try and get some money back.

I'm normally on the side of the employer, but when they seem to be complaining that you did too much work by entering too much detail in the cash book, then that really looks like they are talking stories. I don't think you have much to worry about.
Thanks @BusFact, I just got called in for a meeting because I invoiced them for my 2 leave days which is owing to me. It's more of a sour grape thing because I'm leaving. I'm contemplating going to CCMA just to teach them they cannot do whatever they want but I also don't know if it is worth it to go through the trouble for only R1800 less PAYE.
I am still waiting for them to pay me...
