Expenditure Analysis of the PMTE • Expenditure trends are lower than the previous year although projections by the executing units indicate a possible over-expenditure (less than 1% if Leases are taken out of the equation). This will be managed towards year-end to ensure no over-expenditure takes place. • Leasing expenditure is currently higher than the estimated budget for the year according to the information on our internal system. Regions have been requested to update the information to enable better forecasting. The estimated budget will be adjusted accordingly. • Revenue = expenditure at the end of the financial year as invoices are issued and money claimed based on the actual expenditure • Cleaning and Gardening are at 35% expenditure against budget. • This is due to longer term contracts only being finalised recently. The expenditure is expected to increase in the latter part of the financial year.
