I want to ask a number of questions. I will try and keep them short and I would appreciate short replies.
On financial reporting for audit, the Department gave different figures for different years in terms of time compliance. It has been improving but there is no reason it should not be 100%. How did the Department bring about the improvements? Are there sanctions? Is a carrot-and-stick approach being employed? What approach is the Department taking to those that fall outside the time limits with which they should comply? Is it the same organisations that are repeat offenders or is there a mixture? What is the profile in that regard?
