<p><strong><em>CESA Email Server hit by Ransomware (virus) –</em></strong><strong> </strong>On 3 August 2016 the CESA Exchange Server was infected with a virus that encrypted its contents resulting in CESA not receiving or sending emails for about ten days thereafter. Anyone who sent emails to CESA during this period should resend them as their earlier emails were never received and we would like to be of assistance if so required.</p>
<p><strong><em>Revised 2016 PPPFA Regulations –</em></strong><strong> </strong>A big thank you to the members who submitted comment on these draft Regulations. We wait with bated breath for the outcome. </p>
<p><strong><em>Standard for Infrastructure Procurement and Delivery Management (SIPDM) –</em></strong> The CESA Task Team met with the Office of the Chief Procurement Officer (CPO) on 26 July 2016, where it was indicated that the CPO would formally approve the CESA Plan of Action in order that Treasury as a whole was aware of the project. A training workshop is to be held by Treasury on 26 September 2016 in Pretoria for one hundred CESA members, to assemble a core group of SIPDM advisers that can assist with the roll-out of the SIPDM (training and drafting of documentation for organs of state). The SIPDM advisers will be selected from CESA Membership across the country.</p>
