The Isibuko Dashboard (data capture screen) has been operating for the past three years in the DPE system. The dashboard has been developed by the department but has external backup. The department reviews SOCs' performance quarterly in accordance with National Treasury Regulations (TR29.3) and annually in accordance with section 55 of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA) and section 286 of the Companies Act through the Isibuko Dashboard. The dashboard requires SOCs to report on financial performance, job creation and skills development, risk management and progress on capital expenditure projects. The Minister also issues investor briefs to SOC boards on emerging SOC performance trends, risks that have been identified and highlighting the need for corrective action in the event of any deviation from agreed key performance areas and indicators. The department does not tamper with the information provided by the SOCs but measures it against set targets.
