REPLY:
It is the responsibility of each member of the Executive and each
Accounting Officer to address issues raised by the Auditor General, and to
improve their departments and reporting entitiesâ audit outcomes. However,
the Department of Performance Monitoring and Evaluation in the Presidency
is carrying out annual Management Performance Assessments of national and
provincial departments with a view to assist departmental managers to
improve their management practices, which in turn will have a positive
impact on audit outcomes. National Treasury is also engaging in various
initiatives to assist departments to improve their financial management.
