1. The failure to make available the financial records of the TPF for the 2008/09 financial year pointed to a serious challenge within the Department, and the TPF in particular, of the inability to ensure sound financial practices. 2. The admission by the Department, that its staff who worked with the Fund did not always have adequate training in financial management and other necessary skills, may lead to delayed progress on the implementation of strategies needed to turn the TPF around. 3. Career pathing for the staff in the cash halls, would lead to improved service delivery to the people, as staff would be exposed to other aspects of the job with prospects of career growth. 4. There was a clear need for additional capacity in the court offices. 5. The slow response by the system server had already led to slow turnaround times in payouts. 6. The unresolved differences on the TPF manual records and JDAS, leading to increasing unclassified ('parked') funds, could result in subsequent undesirable audit outcomes. 7. Regional and local courts would benefit from more direct support from the Department, which would ensure improved conditions and motivated staff. 8. The installation of security cameras at the centres would improve security conditions, and ensure the prevention of incidents of crime. 9. The reported delays in criminal investigations could lead to the continuation of a culture of unabated fraudulent activities, to the detriment of the fund. 10. The provision of up-to-date information technology hardware could lead to better use of the current system whilst offices await the implementation of the new system. 11. Adequate training of staff on the new system would ensure improved service delivery.
