AUDITED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2018 *All numbers are rounded off to the nearest Rand.
NARRATIVE TO ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENT • INTRODUCTION • The NDA is reporting an Accounting deficit of R 5.1 million compared to a restated deficit of R 4,1 million in 2017/2018. The Accounting deficits are due to timing differences between the receipt of allocation and actual expenditure. Some expenses incurred in 2018/19 were committed and funded from revenue recognised and received in the previous financial year.
NARRATIVE TO ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENT • REVENUE • Total revenue/(Resources) available to the NDA declined by 2% from R 225,9 million in 2018 to R 221 million in 2019. • The main sources of revenue , the official allocation from National Treasury increased by 0.8% from R 200.9 million in 2018 to R 202.6 million in 2019. During the same period the costs of doing business (CPI) increased by 4.9%. The allocation declined in real terms by 4,1%, while cost of leases and compensation of employees increased by 8% and 6.5% respectively. • The second major source of revenue, the conditional grants received from other government departments and funders declined by 27% from previous financial year. This decline is attributable to the introduction by National Treasury of Circular 21 on classification of expenses. The circular implies that transfers between departments and entities are classified as Goods and services and require a procurement process.
NARRATIVE TO ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENT • REVENUE • Interest income declined by 53% due to the reduction in bank balances. • The entity continues to have to do more with less due to a resources base that continues to decline in real terms. Below inflationary increases in the allocation from government puts strain on the entity and result in less resources becoming available to implement key organizational programmes and impacts on delivering on the Strategy
