- Description
- In recent years, due to COVID-19, provincial departments have faced financial constraints and had to provide services with limited resources. To assist in ensuring that departmental resources are used prudently, risk management plays a vital role as it is the practice of detecting, assessing and controlling threats to an organisation's capital and earnings. The aim of this study was to identify gaps or shortfalls in the risk management processes of the Eastern Cape provincial departments and come up with recommendations on how these gaps can be addressed. The study followed a qualitative research approach with an interview schedule with predetermined questions that were carefully designed to prompt responses to ascertain the level of risk maturity of each department. The study focused on twelve provincial departments in the Eastern Cape Province, interviewing senior risk officials. Permission to conduct the study was obtained from the heads of departments of Provincial Treasury as they are custodians of transversal risk management in the province. The key finding of the study is that in some departments, the Risk Management Unit is under-capacitated. Adhering to the various recommendations of the study will assist departments to achieve a higher risk maturity level.
