Findings of the OPSC ReportFindings of the OPSC Report
• The PSC assessed how many national and provincial Directors-General (DGs) had submitted their forms and found that out of a sample of forty seven (47), only 30 had submitted their forms by 30 June 2008, representing a disappointing submission rate of 69%.
• These compliance rates expose the Public Service to serious risks and should be dealt with as a matter of urgency. Although the Public Service Regulations places the responsibility of submitting the disclosure forms on the shoulders of Executing Authorities, HoDs do have a critical role to play in terms of advising on compliance requirements and the implications thereof.
40
Findings of the OPSC Report cont…Findings of the OPSC Report cont…
• The PSC examined the disclosures for the 1999/2000 to 2004/5 financial years and found that the proportion of SMS members involved in companies or who had directorships and partnerships that could result in potential conflicts of interest ranged from 45% to 72%;
• Potential risks for the Public Service have also emerged with regard to ensuring that Supply Chain Management (SCM) procedures are followed to the letter as required by legislation.
• The PSC believes that there are still compliance gaps in this area, and that as a result acts of corruption in SCM cannot be ruled out.

Concluding remarks
• Flagship projects such as NMOS, OSDs, Data Collection and Revenue Enhancement, development of a Local Government Turn Around Strategy and Operation Clean Audit have made good progress
• Progress elsewhere good although targets are not being met in some instances owing to various constraints including budget and capacity shortfalls
• Governance indicators are broadly positive, while representivity targets remain elusive and compliance with legislative requirements (eg financial disclosure) remains unsatisfactory at less than 100%
