LOOKING BACK AT PREVIOUS AUDIT OUTCOMES

Previous audit outcomes reveal that:

Inconsistency between Integrated Development Plan, Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plan and Annual Performance Report

  

Pre- determined objectives and indicators were not measurable No processes and systems were in place to monitor the achievement of goals and targets.

No corrective actions and measure were provided In the cases where indicators were deleted, the reason for such amendments was the mere fact that the indicators were not measurable and there was no measuring tool or instrument to determine the results

LOOKING BACK AT PREVIOUS AUDIT OUTCOMES

Previous audit outcomes reveal that:

          KPI’s are were not relevant and measurable Indicators/measures not verifiable (not possible to validate the process and system that produce the indicator) KPI’s reported on in all PM reports were not the same Lack of monitoring and review of the recording of actual achievements by senior management Lack of standard operating procedures of the recording of actual achievement Insufficient POE kept No quarterly reporting to council on Top Layer SDBIP No monthly reporting to Portfolio Committees on Departmental SDBIP Audits of actual performance not taking place, especially Top Layer Performance audit committees not established and meeting to analyse performance reports and audits of performance by internal audit

LOOKING BACK AT PREVIOUS AUDIT OUTCOMES

Previous audit outcomes reveal that:
