Abstract
The study assesses the effectiveness of Annual Reporting in its current framework
as an effective mechanism for public accountability. Literature that deals with
policy management choices and also public accountability is examined with a view
to gain deeper understanding of underpinning concepts. The Case Study of the
2004/2005 Gauteng Department of Education Annual Report is analyzed and
assessed against stipulated criteria.
The findings of the Research study confirm some of the shortcomings that are
raised in the problem statement regarding a disjuncture between political priorities
and policy outputs and outcomes that are included in Annual Reports
