Text in Afrikaans / Die studie is onderneem om die wenslikheid van geregtelike beheer wat die Hooggeregshof van Suid-Afrika oor die werksaamhede van staatsdepartemente uitoefen te bepaal. Daar word na die funksies van die Departement van Binnelandse Sake verwys ten einde bepaalde werksaamhede van daardie Departement as voorbeeld te laat dien in die beantwoording van bogestelde vraag. Ter aanvang word voor-unie regeringinstellings en -openbare dienste, die ontstaan van Suid-Afrikaanse staatsdepartemente en die doelgerigtheid van open bare dienste beskryf. Daarna word die wyses waarop beheer oor die werksaamhede van 'n staatsdepartement asook hoe beheer in 'n departement uitgeoefen word, uiteengesit. Nadat die doeltreffendheid en effektiwiteit van bestaande beheer ontleed, en die beheer wat die Hooggeregshof uitoefen van die van ander beheerinstellings onderskei word, word geregtelike beheer en statutere beperkings daarop beskryf. Die studie strek oor 'n tydperk wat eindig op 27 April 1994. Daar is bevind dat geregtelike beheer afsonderlik of tesame met ander wyses van beheer, en sander statutere beperkings daarop, uitgeoefen behoort te word. / The study was undertaken to determine the desirability of judicial control which the Supreme Court of South Africa exercises over the activities of state departments. The functions of the Department of Home Affairs are referred to in order that particular activities of that Department may serve as an example when answering the above-stated question. Initially, government institutions and public services prior to union, the origin of South African state departments and the purpose of public services are described. Thereafter the modes by which control is exercised over the activities of a state department and how control is exercised in a department, are set out. After an analysis of the efficiency and effectiveness of existing control, and the control exercised by the Supreme Court is distinguished from that of other controlling institutions, judicial control and statutory limitations thereon are described. The study covers a period ending on 27 April 1994. It is found that judicial control should be exercised separately or in conjunction with other modes of control, and without statutory limitations. / Public Administration and Management / M.A. (Publieke Administrasie)

Verslo subjektų veikla yra reglamentuota teisės aktų, siekiant kontroliuoti teisinių santykių dalyvių veiksmus. Tokia kontrolė, be kitų jos formų, pasireiškia ir per teisė aktuose nustatytus informacinius reikalavimus pateikti tam tikrą informaciją, statistinius duomenis ar kitokio pobūdžio medžiagą. Vykdydami teisės aktuose nustatytus reikalavimus, verslo subjektai neišvengiamai patiria išlaidų, kurių tikslus ar apytikslis dydis, nenaudojant specialių apskaičiavimo metodų, dažniausiai lieka nežinomas, todėl neįmanoma vykdyti išlaidų stebėsenos ir įvertinti teisės aktais verslo sektoriui daromos įtakos. Didžiulę atskaitomybės naštą įmonėms sukelia valstybės valdymo institucijų reikalavimai, įgyvendinant teisės aktų nuostatas, pateikti pačią įvairiausią informaciją apie įmonių veiklą ir jos rezultatus. Kadangi šios informacijos srautas nėra centralizuotas, todėl reikalavimų pateikti informaciją nuolat daugėja. Nekoordinuojant informacijos pateikimo, daugėja faktų, kada tos pačios informacijos prašo kelios institucijos arba tai pačiai informacijai pateikti reikia pildyti skirtingas formas ar anketas. Išlaidos, kurias patiria verslo subjektai, vykdydami teisės aktų reikalavimus (informaciniai įpareigojimai), sudaro administracinę naštą. Norint kiekybiškai išmatuoti verslo subjektų patiriamas išlaidas, būtina taikyti specialius įvertinimo metodus. Labiausiai išvystytas ir leidžiantis tiksliausiai įvertinti tokias išlaidas yra standartinis išlaidų modelis. / The business is regulated by legislation in order to control the legal relations of the participants. Such control is implemented by legislation and institute information requirements to provide certain information, statistics or other type of material. Fulfilling legislative requirements business entities inevitably experience costs that usually remain unknown if special methods of calculation are not used. It is impossible to carry out the costs of monitoring and evaluate the impact of legislation on the business sector if data is missing. The requirements of public administration institutions to provide various information about companies’ activity and results cause a huge burden to companies. As the flow of such information is not centralized and the requirements to provide information constantly increase. Without coordinating the presentation of such information, the number of facts when the same information is requested by various authorities or the same information is required to fill in different forms or questionnaires increase. The costs incurred by businesses performing the requirements of the law (for information obligations), compose the administrative burden. In order to quantitatively measure the costs experienced by business entities it is needed to use special methods of valuation. The most developed and allowing to evaluate such costs most accurately method is the standard cost model.
