2. Departmental Allocations and Expenditure 2009/10 As an entirely new department formed after the 2009 elections, there was no budget in place for EDD in May 2009 and the DTI established a division within their financial systems for EDD. This division within the DTI, was allocated a budget of R29 million for the remainder of the financial year and the DTI was reimbursed for the expenditure it has already incurred. It was agreed with National Treasury that the DTI Director-General be the Accounting Officer for these funds for the 2009/10 financial year. EDD's transactions are reflected in the DTI's Annual Financial Statements.
