MA Final Virement (Shifting of Funds in terms of Section 43 of PFMA) Reasons for virement • Programme 1 (ADMINISTRATION) has overspent it’s allocated budget by R33 million on IT services, write offs and office accommodation, hence funds were shifted to the programme. • A total of R8,400 and R26,314 were shifted from Programme 2: Water Resource Management and Programme 3: Water Services respectively as a result of savings that was realised under personnel budget due to departmental restructuring and high staff turn-over.

  16. PART B Water Trading Entity (WTE)

  17. WTE Overview of the Annual Financial Statements • AFS were prepared in accordance with principles of GAAP • Preparation framework has not changed from previous years • AFS include the following: • Statement of Comprehensive Income • Statement of Financial Position • Statement of Changes in Net Assets • Statement of Cash Flows • Notes to the Financial Statements • There were no changes in accounting policies when comparing current year with previous year’s accounting policies. • There were further refinements made by the WTE which necessitated a restatement of prior year’s amounts

  18. WTE Improvements in relation to previous years • Vendor reconciliations have been performed and are all up-to-date • Interest has been charged to long-outstanding debtors • Deferred income has been split into current and non-current portions • The entity did not have bank overdraft in the current year

  19. Financial Performance WTE

  20. Financial Performance cont… WTE • Increase in revenue (34% increase as compared to prior year) resulted partly from the increase in the tariff and also from the increase in number of billed customers as a result of the process of identification of all water customers undertaken by the WTE. • Other income is up from the prior year by approximately R23 million (or 5 %).

  21. Financial Performance cont… WTE • The increase is mainly due to an increase in other income as compared to prior year, which relates to sundry income received from the water users. • There was an increase in expenses of 9 % (312 million) partly as a result of an increase of approximately 30% (R196 million) in employee costs in the current year as compared to prior year.

  22. Financial Performance cont… WTE • The increase in revenue and the increase in expenses resulted in an overall decrease of 16 % (R 231 million) in the deficit recorded in the current financial year as compared to the prior financial year. • There is a marked improvement in the ratio of the deficit for the year as a percentage of revenue earned, which improved from 94% in the prior year to 59% in the current year.

  23. Financial Performance cont… WTE • One of the main contributors to this improvement can be attributed to the efficiencies in the revenue and costs management systems that are beginning to bear fruit within the WTE.

  24. Financial Performance cont… WTE • Taking out the effect of depreciation, the ratio of expenses as compared to total income is as follows: • 2008/09 = 1.02 which means that 102% of total income earned was consumed by operating expenses if we exclude depreciation • 2009/10 = 0.93 which shows that there is huge improvements in the current year. The ratio shows that the WTE has generated enough income to cover its operating expenses, excluding depreciation.

  25. Financial Position WTE

Financial Performance cont… WTE • Continuing refinements to the infrastructure asset values on the reported figures for the 2007/08 and 2008/09 financial year were made, resulting in a restatement of prior year figures • Trade and other receivables decreased by 11% year on year, further giving testament to the improvements being made by the WTE in its revenue management efforts. • This is one of the factors that contributed to an increase in cash and cash equivalents in the current year. • Other current liabilities increased by 70 % as compared to the prior year mainly as a result of an increase of 71% (R 1 076 billion) increase in deferred income

  27. Statement of Changes in Net Assets WTE

  28. Statement of Changes in Net Assets cont WTE • The statement shows the impact that a change wherein the increase in depreciation as a result of revaluation of infrastructure assets is now released to accumulated surplus each year. • This assists in limiting the impact on the accumulated deficit for the year. • As a result the revaluation reserve has decreased from R 86 billion on 1 April 2008 to R 61 billion at 31 March 2010

  29. Cash Flow Position WTE
