It is also seen as an advanced tool for updating and evaluating these initiatives and activities. The team also provided a comprehensive explanation on the other electronic systems that are associated with the Injaz systems such as the zero-based budgeting system and performance system for employees, These enable the Ministry to measure the level of efficiency and effectiveness of government expenditure through a series of reports and analysis of the financial performance of initiatives.

Discussions were also held on the different types of follow-up reports, such as those pertaining to the operational plan, performance, and reports of change.
