Using ideas about best practice in a specific context, the Health environment, it investigates the perceptions of managers about the transfer of funds between the Provincial Government of the Western Cape and the Local Authority of the City of Cape Town, the existence of a formula that will indicate appropriate amounts to transfer to service providers, and how information systems might assist with the process and the formula.enPublic FinanceKey Performance IndicatorsOrganisational PerformanceStrategy FormulationFinancing CriteriaRisk ProfilingBalanced ScorecardPerformance Based FinancingInformation ManagementFinancial determinantsThesisUniversity of the Western Cape
