Departemente se vlakke van voldoening met betrekking tot openbare diens en finansiële bestuur is betreklik gemeng. Dit kan vanselfsprekend nie verder geduld word nie, selfs as ons in aanmerking neem dat ouditvereistes op nasionale en provinsiale vlak strenger geword het. In hierdie opsig is die toepassing van die prestasieooreenkomsstelsel, veral op senior bestuursvlak, van kritieke belang.
Compliance levels within departments, in relation to public service and finance management legislation, have been somewhat mixed. Obviously this cannot be allowed to continue, even if we take into account the correct observation that auditing requirements at national and provincial levels have become more stringent. In this regard, the application of the performance agreement system particularly for senior management is crucial.
