3. FINANCIAL INFORMATION 3.1 The DCS was allocated an adjusted budget of R16, 687 billion in the 2011/12 financial year, and underspent by 5,4%. At the end of the first quarter of the 2012/13 financial year the DCS had spent 20,84% of its R17,172 billion allocation. This constituted a 2, 33% under- expenditure. 3.2 In 2011/12 Parliament approved that the R483, 821 million unauthorised expenditure incurred in 2008/09 should be funded by the DCS, and this payment was made against the R893,9 million under expenditure recorded. 3.3 The Administration programme received a final appropriation of R4.9 billion, but only spent R4.4 billion. The reasons for the 2011/12 under-expenditure included the DCS inability to fill vacancies and thus having a lower than expected expenditure on compensation of employees. At the end of the first quarter of the 2012/13 the DCS had overspent on its budget for this programme by 0.09%. The over- expenditure resulted from amongst others higher than anticipated expenditure on legal services. 3.4 The Security programme received a final appropriation of R5 354 799 billion, of which only 99.8% was spent. By the end of March 2012 the DCS had underspent on its Incarceration programme, which included corrections, facilities and security: only 21,3% of the projected 23,73% of the allocation was spent. The under expenditure was the result of low spending on contractors, outstanding DPW invoices and outstanding general salary increases. 3.5 The Corrections programme received a final appropriation R1 636 844 billion of which R1 596 844 billion was spent. The under-expenditure was ascribed to amongst others, savings accrued under goods and services. 3.6 The Care, Development and Social Reintegration programmes exhausted their respective 2011/12 allocations. At 30 June 2012 all three programmes had underspent on the first quarter 2012/13 allocations.
