Audit Results Qualifications: Lack of an appropriate documented and approved policy and procedure framework for the recording, monitoring, and the reconciliation of the Skills Development Levy (SDL) Income. DIDTETA has incorrectly accounted for the SDL Income transferred from the DoL for the current and prior years. As a result the following account balances are materially understated: SDL income (R 127 353) Accounts receivable (R165 139) Reserves (R35 253) DIDTETA Report to PC on Labour on Annual Report 04-05
SARS reversals amounting to R 103 295 and related impact on employer receivables has not been disclosed on Note 9 of the annual financial statement as required by Statements of Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. An unreconciled and unexplained difference of R 52 318 exists between the amount transferred by the DoL and the amount that is recorded as SDL Income of of DIDTETA. DIDTETA Report to PC on Labour on Annual Report 04-05 Audit Results
Emphasis of Matter • DIDTETA has not implemented a supply chain management system. This is due to the merger with the Poslec SETA. A supply chain management system will be implemented in the next financial year. DIDTETA Report to PC on Labour on Annual Report 04-05
Challenges for 2005-2006 Reaction of employers due to policy changes in the Levy Grant Disbursement Regulations. Surpluses created by this accrual will be swept into reserves meaning that it will not be utilised for its purpose of operational costs. This will affect the Skills Development Levy Administration income for the current financial year. DIDTETA Report to PC on Labour on Annual Report 04-05
CONCLUSION • The year 2004/2005 was a very traumatic year for the DIDTETA, in many ways, but all in all we experienced a very good year. • The DIDTETA did for its sector what was humanly possible given the time and financial constraints. • Looking back on the last five years, no effort has been a waste-every system put in place and procedure implemented will influence our way of doing business in the future. • No training initiative has been in vain - all have been building blocks in creating awareness of the importance of skills development in the sector. • We have confidence that together with our collegues at the Poslec SETA we will serve the Safety and Security Sector with loyalty and Professionalism.
