Through this branch, the Department managed to record a 0.12 per cent under- spending on allocated budget for the period under review which is far below the five per cent threshold set by National Treasury. This was realised through effective and continuous monitoring processes that were implemented during the 2010/2011 financial year. The process of compiling the 2011/12 budget and ENE chapter for the Department was also completed. All branches have compiled and submitted their spending plans which were used as a basis for projecting the monthly expenditure. In pursuit of consistency and in order to eliminate non-compliance to legislation, various policies were approved and implemented and parallel to the development of these policies, procedures were also developed.
