To obtain a measure of how much the reallocations between budget votes have
contributed to variance up and above the deviations in the overall levels of
expenditure,
an analysis of budget deviations between budget estimates and actual out-tur
ns by budget
head was performed for the years 2005/2006, 2006/2007 and 2007/2008. The budget to
expenditure deviations for each Budget Vote is presented in Tabl
e 3.2. An analysis of this
table shows that the average weighted deviations improved over the t
hree year period
reducing from 5% to 2%.
