The key areas were the Department underperformed are: • Performance vs expenditure (74% vs 100%) – does the targets accurately measure service delivery; • MTSF target alignment and achievement; • Building environment; • ICT (IJS/CJS/TMS); • Repeat AG Audit findings on the reliability of performance; • Policies does not trickle down to station level; and • Internal Control (especially middle management).
