The current number of full-time equivalent staff in my Department is 1218. This does not include approximately 300 locally-engaged staff serving in Missions abroad.

The table below sets out details of the number of full-time equivalent staff working in the areas mentioned by the Deputy.

3.5 staff members are engaged specifically in oversight and compliance in my Department. Purchasing functions are distributed to business units throughout the Department.

I have included staff in audit roles in my Department's Development Cooperation Directorate in the overall number working in financial management.
