16 The Presidency: Department of Performance Monitoring and Evaluation 16 Conclusions DPME relatively new Department, with own budget vote from 1 April 2011 This means that DPME has not yet settled into multi-year budgeting and expenditure with planning and preparations taking place the year before expenditure takes place This explains why expenditure will accelerate in the last six months of the financial year From 2013/14 DPME expenditure will be more evenly spread over the financial year and closer aligned to cash-flow projections Performance Overall performance of the department is on track A departmental management meeting was held to formally review performance in the first quarter and corrective measures were agreed on where appropriate to address partially achieved or not achieved targets
