The DPW indicated that it is still enhancing the asset register and the valuation of State-owned buildings will not be done in the 2009/10 financial year. It also indicated that the chief directorate was established within the Department to focus on the asset register. However, the Committee is concerned about the slow progress in the development of the asset register. The department continuously receives qualified audit outcomes as a result of the outstanding asset register. The Committee calls upon the department to capacitate itself in this respect in view of the fact that it is responsible for all other departments' asset registers.
