5 Introduction Skills audit is a methodology used to study labor markets conditions, such as the availability of required skills and its dynamics,such as impact of policy and technology change on the demand and change of skills. The methodology entails surveying employers to obtain information on their human resources,including employee characteristics,staff turn over,gaps and projected requirements.in South Africa we have a number of key positions being occupied by candidates who may not have the requisite competencies. Having incompetent staff leads to falsified reports, inacurate statements, poor records keeping, fraudulent activities, poor management of funds, lack of sound leaders etc, to name a few. The two day forum will empower and inform the public sector proffesionals to outline their duties with credibility, intergrity and professionalism. It will also quantify and assess the available skills and those that the employees need to get, to tackle future challenges. Ultimately,the future of our democracy depends upon the ability of the public service to deliver services efficiently and effectively. The conference will seek to improve the public sector by giving clearcut guidelines,world class real time solutions and case studies of how to enhance the public sectors to operate effectively. During this National conference we have local bespoke thought leaders who will be speaking and giving information about various tools,technique s and approaches that can be used to ensure the public sectors operates in honest and intergrity therefore achieving value for money for the government funds.
