During the 2012/13 financial year, the Department shifted funds (Virements) totalling R37 million. Virements of R17 million were approved within the Administration programme due to the reclassification of items. While Virements amounting to R20 million included R10 million for communication services in the Administration programme, R8 million for titanium development in the Research, Development and Innovation programme and R2 million for goods and services in the International Co-operation and Resources programme. These amounts were reclassified and were used for the same purposes as was intended.
