  24. Overall expenditure per economic classification (cont…)

  25. Overall per key cost drivers

  26. Narrative on spending trends Compensation of employees • Expenditure is 2% below the projected expenditure due to the funded posts that were not filled yet at the regions and head office. • The funded vacant posts are at various stages of being filled and it is projected that as the financial year progresses the majority of the posts would have been filled and this will increase expenditure. Goods and Services • Communication: • The majority of the budget is on postage for notifications for reviews and communication to beneficiaries. • Expenditure on these two big ticket items within communication is expected to increase as the financial year progresses. The bulk of the money will be on community based interventions

  27. Narrative on spending trend (cont..) Goods and Services: • Computer Services • The majority of the budget is for the payments to SITA in respect of mainframe-time and the maintenance of the SOCPEN system. • Expenditure is incurred once services have been rendered. • Medical Assessments Fees • Expenditure is influenced by the number of medical assessments performed and thus the number of assessments performed were lower during the first quarter.

  28. Narrative on spending trend cont.. Goods and Services: • Maintenance and Repairs • The majority of the budget is for local office and pay point improvement projects. There were orders to the value of R4,944 million placed as at end of June 2014. • Travel and Subsistence • Expenditure will be influenced by the National Treasury’s austerity measures which aims to minimise the level of expenditure on travel and other items.

  29. Challenges • The delays in the finalisation of MOU with CSIR impacted on achievement of 2 objectives: • Biometric data clean-up; and • management of re-registration exceptions • The finalisation of the tender for authentication of Biometric users has been delayed • Improvement of local offices has been delayed and this impacted on other related activities such as branding and purchase of equipment

  30. Recommendations • It is recommended that the Portfolio Committee • note and support SASSA’s the quarterly financial and programme performance reports for the period of April – June 2014
