It should be noted that some programmes that were allocated an operational budget had significantly under-spent at the end of the financial year. These include the Asset and Liability and Financial Management and Systems programmes. Even though the departmental operational budget only constituted 2 per cent of the total budget, it still under-spent on its operational budget. In this regard, the National Treasury under-spent by R59.4 million (7.5 per cent) on goods and services, R4.6 million (28.7 per cent) on payment for capital assets and R6.5 million (1.6 per cent) on compensation of employees.
