  3. INTRODUCTION • Departmental strategic planning session was held in November 2008 under the DME umbrella; • The split of the Department of Minerals and Energy was effected on 1 April 2010 (split of support services - human and finance resources); • Some of the activities/projects that were identified during the November 2008 strategic planning session had to be either delayed/abandoned to prepare for the split, especially in support services; and • Less changes were experienced in the line function activities.

  4. INTRODUCTION • Challenges facing the implementation of the 2009/10 strategic plan: • The split of the Department of Minerals and Energy; • Resource constraints (both financial & human); • Aging electricity generation and distribution infrastructure, electrification backlogs, bulk infrastructure; • Liquid fuels infrastructure, supply challenges; • Preparations and hosting of the Confederations Cup and the 2010 Soccer World Cup; and • Global economic downturn .

  5. STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS • Introduction of the Balance Scorecard methodology of planning during 2008 by DME; • Poor understanding of the process by management – when cascading to lower levels of planning; • Challenges of alignment with the format of DG’s performance agreement as prescribed by DPSA; • Way forward – postponement of the BSC methodology by DoE.

  24. MTEF ALLOCATION INEP

  25. PERFORMANCE PER PROVINCE INEP ALLOCATIONS TO MUNICIPALITIES

  26. REASONS FOR UNDER SPENDING INEP • Overall under spending for INEP is within the threshold tolerance of 5%; • The under spending is mainly attributable to the misalignment of national and local government budgeting cycles. • Municipal tender processes only commence after July, once the budgets have been passed • Procurement processes in the municipalities take too long • Municipalities technical capacity challenges

  27. REASONS FOR VARIANCE

  28. REASONS FOR VARIANCE

  29. Analysis of 2009/10 Financial Performance

  30. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE • From May 2009 the Director General of Mineral Resources was the hosting Accounting Officer, and through a MOU offered financial and Human Resource support services to the Department of Energy. • The next Financial Performance presentation includes expenditure and performance of the Department of Mineral Resources.

  31. Analysis of variance in Statement of Financial Performance

  32. Analysis of the Statement of Financial Performance

  33. Statement of Financial Performance: Variance analysis • The staff cost increased in relation to the increase in staff numbers (1272 vs.1169) • The G & S cost is relatively low compared to 2008/9 owing to cost containment measures implemented during the year under review. The related costs include, travelling, venues and facilities, advertising and catering. • Tangible capital assets increased significantly owing to acquisition of furniture and servers for new building • Intangible capital assets decreased as only security related software were acquired during 2009/10

  34. Statement of Financial Performance: Variance analysis

  35. Analysis of variances: Statement of Financial Position

  36. Analysis of major variances : Statement of Financial Position • The asset base increased by 24% from last year attributable to bank balance (R158m) for payments projected to disburse at year end , late revenue payments (R33m) • Prepayments and advances went down by 224% due to rehabilitation of ownerless and derelict mines projects that were concluded during the 2009/10 financial year. • Recoverable expenditure (R7.6m fraud and approximately R1. 9m – land for IPP project). • Notable decrease in long outstanding staff debt (R2.2m vs. R2.7m)

  37. Analysis of major variances : Statement of Financial Position • Total liabilities of R201m(also 24% increase) include R 74 m revenue and R137m of voted funds for surrender • Net assets of R3.2 m include the capitalization reserve (R2.2m) and R1m recoverable revenue

  38. Analysis of variances: Cash Flow Statement

  39. Analysis of major variances: Cash Flow Statement • The increase in net cash flow available from operating activities is attributable to the increase in unspent funds by 60%. (as explained under unspent funds) • The significant increase in net cash flow from investing activities is due to acquisition of furniture and servers for the new building as well as the improvements made to the new building

  40. Analysis of variances: Disclosure notes

  41. Analysis of variances: Disclosure notes

  42. Analysis of variances: Disclosure notes • Contingent Liabilities is made out of legal claims against the department, guarantees for car schemes and housing; and interdepartmental payables (unconfirmed balances). • Accruals increased by 67% as a result of R20.4m due to Public works, invoice of which is still awaited • Increase on employees benefits is as a result of leave payouts and performance bonuses due. • Receivables increased as a result of uncollected monies due to the department. • Irregular expenditure incurred in the current financial year was due to officials not following the departmental financial delegations.

  43. Details of Transfers and Subsidies

  44. Transfers and Subsidies

  45. An overview of the audit report and the report of the Audit Committee Audit opinion • Qualified audit opinion issued Basis for qualified opinion • Completeness of receivables for departmental revenue (R25m) could not be verified • This is related to disclosure note 26 (page 189) • Although the department prepares AFS on modified cash basis, such disclosure notes are necessary as part of the preparation for migration into accrual basis of accounting

  46. An overview of the audit report and the report of the Audit Committee Root Cause • Lack of a comprehensive debtors system • Skills gaps Management action plan • New debtors system to be developed as part of the new system – BAS to be used in the interim • Monthly workshops with regional offices to review registers • Additional staff with Financial background to be appointed in all regional offices

  47. An overview of the audit report and the report of the Audit Committee Emphasis of matter • These matters are not a qualification but are intended to draw the readers attention to such matters due to their importance. Matters reported are: • Basis of reporting - this is a standard paragraph for all national departments – No further action is required in this regard.

  48. An overview of the audit report and the report of the Audit Committee Matters reported are: • Irregular Expenditure – • expenditure that was incurred without adhering to the internal delegation of authority, e.g. services rendered prior to approval by the relevant authority • These were picked up the internal controls established by the department • All cases were evaluated and condoned by the Accounting Officer during the year

  49. An overview of the audit report and the report of the Audit Committee Matters reported are: • Restatement of previous financial year figures. • Changes effected on prior year’s reported figures • These changes were either made as a result of a query from the AG or initiated by Management • The intention is to align prior year’s figures to the current for comparability. • One of the major causes for these adjustments is change in reporting framework, e.g. disclosure of minor assets.

  50. An overview of the audit report and the report of the Audit Committee Matters reported are: • Material under-spending of budget • Although the amount appears significant it only represents 2,9 percent of the total budget – which is below the materiality threshold set by National Treasury • The under spending was primarily caused by delays in finalising contracts for non-grid service. These contracts were signed towards the end of the financial year • Approval was granted by National Treasury for the roll over of the funding to the 2010/11
