Introduction

The DSA follows a strategic approach, developed in 2010/2011, aimed at directing the DSA during the current and following (proposed) statutory levy periods. The approval of the strategic approach was the result of a comprehensive consultation process which was unanimously accepted by its members.

To successfully continue in 2021, activities within Projects of the DSA are prioritised on a first and second level basis. This prioritisation process coincides with the DSA Audit and Risk Committee role in terms of risk analysis which is reviewed on an annual basis. DSA statutory and non-statutory activities are included in the level of priorities in view of the company’s balanced approach to achieve its main objectives.

2021 Statutory and Non-Statutory Projects

The DSA progressively executes and maintains its projects. As a result, management continuously monitors new demands and investigates the possible extension of the product range to be included in its statutory and non-statutory budgets. That continuation of the current strategy is considered to be in the best interest of the DSA and subsequent further development within the context of existing projects, using the experience gained, is to be provided for in the DSA 2021 project plan.
