4.1.7 In 2012 the Committee had reported that it was "pleased that the Minister of Correctional Services undertook to drive the process of reporting to the AGSA on a quarterly basis with regard to the deficiencies identified". Unfortunately, the 2012/13 audit outcome revealed that commitments made during the 2012/13 financial year were not honoured. In 2012 the Committee reported that upon interrogation of the DCS' 2011/12 Annual Report and Audit outcome, the DCS' senior management appeared reluctant to acknowledge their part in the department's continued poor performance. As was the case then, and despite the DCS senior management's statements to the contrary, the Committee remains concerned about the DCS' senior management's capacity to implement the necessary strategies to ensure a better audit outcome, better service delivery, and the DCS contribution to achieving the government priorities outlined above.
