Overview
Performance Management is a legislative requirement in terms of chapter 6 of the Municipal Systems Act.
PME – Key Mechanism to monitor, evaluate, review and report on the Implementation of the Municipalities objectives
outlined in the Integrated Development Plan
‘If we are to improve our performance we have to reflect on what we are doing, what we are achieving against what we set out to achieve, and why deviations are occurring, or unexpected results
occurring. We cannot advance without making mistakes on the way, but we must evaluate and learn from our successes and our mistakes. Without this we cannot improve.’ Collins Chabane

Legislation and Policies
Monitoring, evaluation and reviewing constitutes a process to assess performance of the municipality. Monitoring and evaluation are crucial to:
• Ensure the implementation of plans and projects to ensure service delivery;
• Measure the development impact of plans/projects; and
• ensure the efficient utilisation of resources.
• Measures performance at an organisational and individual level
KPI’s and performance targets will be used as a yard stick to measure performance and to rectify shortcomings.
Monitoring is a continuous activity to measure KPI’s and performance targets. It will provide project information to management.
Monitoring includes the systematic collecting of information to enable management to evaluate whether project implementation is proceeding as it should.
Why PME is important
• you can not tell success from failureIf you do not measure results,
• you can not reward itIf you can not see success,
• you are probably rewarding failureIf you can not reward success,
• you can not learn from itIf you can not see success,
• you can not correct itIf you can not recognise failure,
• you can win public supportIf you can demonstrate results,
• Reinventing Government, 1992Adapted from Osborne and
Gaebler,
The Power of Measuring Results
CUSTOMERLooks at the organization through the eyes of its customers.
INTERNAL PROCESSESReports on the efficiency of internal processes and procedures.
FINANCIALMonitors the organization’s financial performance, which indicates whether the strategy, implementation and execution are contributing to the bottom line improvement.
LEARNING AND GROWTHReflects the commitment of the organization to grow and adapt to change.

• the indicator should be accurate enough for its intended use and respond to changes in the level of performance.Reliable:
• the indicator needs to have a clear, unambiguous definition so that data will be collected consistently, and be easy to understand and use.
Well-defined:
• it must be possible to validate the processes and systems that produce the indicator.Verifiable:
• the usefulness of the indicator must justify the cost of collecting the data.Cost-effective:
• the indicator must avoid unintended consequences and encourage service delivery improvements, and not give managers incentives to carry out activities simply to meet a particular target.
Appropriate:
• the indicator must relate logically and directly to an aspect of the institution's mandate, and the realisation of strategic goals and objectives.
Relevant:
A good performance indicator should be:
KPI definition
• Compulsory submission
• Enhances understanding
• Submitted to Internal Audit, the audit committee & the AG
• Informs the audit
• No definition = KPI not SMART when audited
• Review when amendments are made
KPI Definition - 2016/2017
Type of KPI is your KPI an Input/ Output/ Outcome/ Impact, etc
Unit of Measure for KPI Number, percentage or ratio
Frequency of reporting i.e. quarterly or annually. If annual, why can this not be reported quarterly?
Background to KPI/ Rationale What is being measured and why, what impact will this have, why was this KPI chosen, Provides the logic behind the inclusion of the indicator as a reporting requirement, etc.
Indicator Origin - If this indicator is aligned to other sets of indicators, state its origin, particularly if part of an international reporting set
Legislation/ policies applicable to this KPI
MFMA, MSA, Labour relations
New KPI Definition Template.xlsx
How are targets set and reviewed?
Targets are based on, access modeling, previous years actual status, research information or best practices.
Targets are reviewed every 6 months.
5 Year targets are set before the start of the 5 year cycle and are also reviewed annually.
Project plans/ Milestone definitions
• Compulsory submission
• Enhances understanding and informs the reader of the planned milestones
• Submitted to Internal Audit
• Informs the audit, particularly evidence required
• No project plan = Project & linked KPI not SMART when audited
• Review when amendments are made

Reasons for non-performance / Measures taken to improve performance
Actions (measures) to improve performance – so by year end, target is met
Target not met - reasons for non-performance must be indicated –management action
The completion of the Measures to improve column is required by the Systems Act legislation.
Quarterly reporting
Report on time
Reasons for variance must be detailed.
Evidence
Measures to improve must be sufficient
Main Criteria
Sub Criteria Definition
Usefulness
Measurability
Indicators are well defined and verifiable. Targets are specific, measurable and time bound
RelevanceIndicators relate logically and directly to the entity mandate and realisation
of strategic goals and objectives
ConsistencyObjectives, indicators and targets are
consistent between planning and reporting documents
Audit criteria (derived from performance management
and reporting framework)
Main Criteria
Sub Criteria Definition
Reliability
ValidityActual performance reported has occurred
and pertains to the entity
AccuracyAmounts, numbers and other data relating to
actual performance reported have been recorded and reported appropriately
CompletenessAll actual results and events that should have
been recorded have been included in the annual performance reports
Compliance with legislative requirements
ExistenceObjectives, indicators and targets must be
predetermined and performance information must be reported against them
Timelines
The annual performance report, together with the annual financial statements; must be
submitted for audit purposes to the auditors, within two months after the financial year end
Presentation
Performance information must be presented using the National Treasury guidelines.
Actual performance information in tables and other information included in the annual
report must be consistent.
Material differences between actual and planned performance must be explained
Main Criteria
Sub Criteria Definition
Common Findings - Audit findings are material – could lead to Qualified Audit
Objectives, indicators and targets not consistent between plan and annual performance report
Reasons for variances between planned and actual performance is not included
Logical link between objectives, indicators and targets do not exist
Changes to planned objectives, indicators and targets are not disclosed
Non-compliance to legislation
Non-timely submission of annual performance report
Indicators are not well defined
Evidence is not verifiable
Targets are not measurable
Common Findings
Lack of effective, efficient and transparent systems and internal control to provide sufficient, appropriate audit evidence to substantiate reported performance information
No supporting documents or insufficient supporting documents to support reported targets (validity)
The amounts, numbers and other data related to the actual targets did not agree to the supporting documents provided (accuracy)
The report had missing information, not everything related to the actual results and events where recorded (completeness)
Annual performance report was provided too late to conduct any audit work on reported information
Root causes
Lack of accountability and consequences for actions/inaction
Lack of monitoring by leadership
Inadequate formal planning for Predetermined Objectives
Misalignment between Strategy and Performance Reporting
Organisational structures not aligned
Structures not capacitated
Predetermined reporting not included in Performance Agreements
Poorly defined roles and responsibilities
Inadequate internal audit testing systems and data
Ineffective audit committee oversight
Oversight and support of Top Management and Council
Roles and responsibilities of all stakeholders must be understood
Buy-in from all Management and staff
Public Participation process critical
Skilled and committed Staff
Compliance to Legislation –critical deadlines/evidence
