The Secretary presented Quarterly Reports to the Parliamentary Oversight Authority for the specific quarter under review. The reports reflected on the achievement of the strategic objectives of Parliament as provided in the Strategic Plan and the programmes reflected in the Estimates of National Expenditure, Vote 2, for the 2012/13 financial year. The reporting format was dictated by the Financial Management of Parliament Act (section 52) which required the Accounting Officer to report on the implementation of the Annual Performance Plan.
