. The Committee noted that the Department's Revised Strategic Plan and Annual Performance Plan provided more of a theoretical perspective of the Department's mission and vision. However, the requisite details insofar as detailed indicators and targets for the current financial year were lacking. Clear timeframes for achieving the Department's objectives were also lacking. . Whilst the Committee acknowledges, the filling of key vacancies such as that of the Director General, Chief Financial Officer as well as that in risk management and supply chain management, the establishment and implementation of systems and procedures to mitigate the concerns previously raised by the Auditor General was crucial. The implementation of the TAS and the recommendations of the Auditor General cannot be clearly identified within the APP except with reference to the filling of key vacant positions.
