With respect to data trends, transfers and actual spending, the PoL reported that the 2010/2011 financial year marks the third year for the PoL to manage the payment of rates and taxes for devolved properties. The PoL said that the previous two financial years did not provide it with the confidence to determine patterns and trends in funds allocation and spending. The PoL added that the collection of data in the coming years will afford the PoL with the means to determine trends that will assist with projecting allocations and spending. The PoL added that efforts that were put in place for improvement were both administrative and political initiatives.
