7.7.1 The SAPS needs to ensure that it has an effective Management Information system in place to accurately track and report on progress with capital projects. The SAPS should report to the Portfolio Committee on Police in the form of a written report by mid February 2011 detailing steps taken to ensure that information both in formal publications (such as Annual Reports; and relayed to National Treasury for inclusion in the Estimates of National Expenditure) and written and oral information provided to the Committee during meetings and in response to questions is accurate. The SAPS should liaise with National Treasury to ensure that information in the Infrastructure tables is both accurate and consistent over time. The same categories of information should thus be reported on each year and the same variables contained within each category.
