8 Chapter 2 MUNICIPAL BUDGETING

9 THE PURPOSE OF BUDGETING Plan to obtain resources (revenue) Plan how resources will be used (expenditure) Matching revenue with expenditure Must cover all activities of institution Goal is to meet objectives of institution

10 Definition of a budget A budget is n plan of action, expressed in monetary terms for a specific period, whereby limited resources are apportioned according to a basis of preferences towards unlimited needs. Thus it is: A plan of action through which the costs for a specific activity aimed at satisfying a specific need or needs are expressed in monetary terms for a given period. A plan based on specific methods and techniques to utilise scarce resources such as capital, labour, material and equipment to the best advantage of the community, thereby satisfying the needs of the community. A plan of action that indicates what income will be received from various sources. 10

11 Definition of budgeting A process whereby scarce resources are allocated to unlimited demands, a plan (in monetary terms) of operations for a specified period; or A financial plan for a specific period whereby specific amounts are allocated to specific purposes.

12 Budgeting contributes to strategy and accountability As a strategic tool budgets need to focus on non-financial as well as financial targets It must be linked to long-term targets in the strategic plan (IDP and Long-term financial plan) Reported in Annual Report 12

13 Municipal budgeting enables efficient allocation of resources Stakeholder participation is key to efficiently allocate limited resources Proper prioritization of projects Budget steering committee, Ward committees, Executive or Mayoral Committee. Multi-year budget approach resources can be stretched over a period of time

14 Municipal budgeting contributes to improved service delivery MFMA introducing performance based system which maximizes the municipality s ability to deliver services In municipal budgeting the focus is on outputs, IDP objectives and measurable performance objectives Measurable performance objectives that is linked to service delivery targets 3 year budget that is linked to service delivery targets Must adopt approach of continuous improvement (quality and cost control) 14

15 THE PLANNING, IMPLEMENTATION, MONITORING AND EVALUATION ASPECTS OF A BUDGET Budget preparation Budget implementation (including monitoring) Budget evaluation

16 PUBLIC EXPENDITURE MANAGEMENT The term includes a range of processes: Political Legislative Technical Participative Accountability PESTLE

17 AGGREGATE FISCAL DISCIPLINE Monitoring and controlling financial performance at a summary level departmental aggregates (MM, BTO, Infrastructure, etc.) strategic objective aggregates (Electricity, Water) accounting classification aggregates (Staff related, Social contract, R&M, General Expenditure.)

18 ALLOCATIVE EFFICIENCY Doing the right thing Government priorities Basic needs of the community

19 OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY Doing the thing right Cost effective Efficient More for less

20 Human aspects in budget and report cycle Complex series of tasks Success depends on contribution of many individuals Need to eliminate possible negative impacts Can reduce risk through rules, policies, procedures etc. and ensuring accountability 20

21 Impact can vary Politicians may focus on objectives of political party Officials bound by rules and procedures Participants must have skills and capacity Roles and responsibilities must be clearly defined 21

22 Impact of human aspects on budget preparation process Potential Negative Impacts Councillors allocating resources for: personal benefit re-election Over budgeting by managers Suggested Solutions Performance budgeting: Measurable performance objectives are linked to IDP objectives Multi-year budgets focusing on sustainability Zero based budgeting Performance budgeting 22

23 Human aspects on budget implementation process Potential Negative Impacts Inability to spend budget and deliver services due to skills shortages Fraud and Corruption Awarding of contracts to associates Bribery Embezzlement Suggested Solutions Performance management, inyear reporting Performance auditing linked to staff bonuses Competency regulations Developing a public service ethic Internal controls Internal audit and audit committee Separation of roles and responsibilities Effective and accountable system of delegations

24 Human aspects on budget evaluations Potential Negative Impacts Annual Financial Statements are disclaimed or qualified due to lack of financial management skills Tendency to overstate performance in the Annual Report due to remuneration and recognition incentives Suggested Solutions Performance management, annual report and oversight report Performance auditing linked to staff bonuses Competency regulations Internships, mentoring and bursaries Oversight Report Prescribed format and content for annual report

32 MULTI-YEAR BUDGETING

33 MAXIMISING SERVICE DELIVERY AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

34 Performance driven approach

35 A performance culture KING III The six principles of ISO as reflected in the KING III report, define a rigorous framework for governing information and technology which, if adopted, will assist directors and top management to balance risk and encourage opportunities arising from the use of IT. Proper corporate governance of IT assists organisations ensure that IT use contributes positively to the performance of the organization.

36 A performance culture DISCIPLINED APPROACH ASSIGN RESOURCES IN LINE WITH STRATEGIC PRIORITIES ENCOURAGE OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY

37 SUSTAINABILITY Sustainable local government is built on the basis of balanced budgets, as unfunded deficits are not allowed. Municipalities will have to take full responsibility for their actions and should not expect national or provincial government to bail out badly managed municipalities. Prioritising the level of service delivery and ensuring costs that are affordable to ratepayers as well as the continuation of routine maintenance will guarantee the sustainability of the service offered by the municipality.

60 RECONCILING THE BUDGET TO THE IDP

61 Chapter 4 Approaches to budgeting

62 Introduction Classification Approaches Accounting classification budgeting Programme budgeting Performance budgeting Forecasting approaches Incremental budgeting Zero based budgeting

63 ACCOUNTING CLASSIFICATION BUDGETING Line items compliant with GRAP Consistent with NT & AFS Diagram 4a page 92 Disadvantages Focus on input, no output or outcome No info re allocation between competing priorities No indication of split according to Org. Structure Assume expenditure is justifiable Overly restrictive on managers

64 ADVANTAGES OF USING ACCOUNTING CLASSIFICATION BUDGETING WITH OTHER APPROACHES: Line managers can compare for area of responsibility Excellent structure to control Revenue and Expenditure Can aggregate all municipal budgets Allows for measuring AFS to budget

65 PROGRAMME BUDGETING Budget according to programmes (activities) Vote IDP objective and sub goal Government Financial Statistics (GFS) functional classification DISADVANTAGES Impossible to aggregate municipal budgets Revenue and expenditure will be uncontrollable Does not allow for measurement against AFS

66 ADVANTAGES OF USING PROGRAMME BUDGETING WITH OTHER APPROACHES Considers outcomes to output leading to focus on services delivery Permits easy comparison of different programmes Mechanism to assess performance according to organisational structure, facilitates oversight role of councillors Provides justification as to activities that will carry on

67 PROGRAMME BUDGETING BY VOTE MFMA: vote = one of the main segments of budget NT Guide to Municipal Budgets: budget by vote = to enforce vote i.t.o. organisational structure - managers accountable Diagram 4b page 97 ADVANTAGES Senior managers can be held accountable Decisions can be made to allocate funds between votes Decisions can be made on adjusting budgets between votes

68 PROGRAMME BUDGETING BY IDP OBJECTIVE Indicates which IDP objectives generate revenue Highlights resources required to deliver measurable targets Diagram 4c page 99 ADVANTAGES Decision can be taken on allocating funds to competing priorities Actual financial performance can be assessed against budget for each IDP objective

69 PROGRAMME BUDGETING BY GFS GFS = international standard for classifying activities of government Diagram 4d page 100 ADVANTAGES Allow aggregation of all municipal budgets Allow consolidation with provincial and national departments Facilitate comparisons internationally Consistent historical comparison as it does change when the org. structure changes

70 PERFORMANCE BUDGETING Works hand in hand with programme budgeting Requires budgeting for outputs, outcomes and measurable performance objectives for each programme Diagrams 4f & 4g pages 103 & 104 ADVANTAGES Leads to more realistic IDP s Completes requirements necessary for assessing performance Mechanism to compare performance between internal units and external institutions Emphasises need to measure output as well as input DISADVANTAGES Some municipalities' services cannot be measured in output units or unit costs Requires resources to implement and maintain

71 PERFORMANCE AUDITING Flows from performance budget Examine output levels, input and unit costs Report on noteworthy variances in performance levels and ineffective expenditure patterns Performance bonuses should be subject to outcome of performance audit

72 FORECASTING APPROACHES Forecasting approaches page 107 Incremental budgeting Zero based budgeting

74 Diagram 4i page 112 Information to be included in a departmental SDBIP

75 Diagram 4j page 114 MFMA budget formats guide - July 2008 Excel templates

76 Chapter 5 Standard municipal budget formats

77 Introduction Core objective of financial reforms = improve ability to deliver basic services for all Achieved through improved financial sustainability Enhanced policy choices Medium-term planning Aim of standardisation to improve accountability

78 Why Standardisation? Stronger link between IDP and budget-showing targets Greater transparency councillor and community understanding of budget Greater accountability-result of greater transparency Greater accountability-same accounting classification as AFS Shortened times to complete budget, in-year reports, AFS, AR Easier aggregation National policy formulation is assisted, able to address inequality Need for surveys is reduced Oversight is assisted

79 LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK FOR STANDARDISING BUDGET FORMATS Constitution Sec 215(1):transparency, accountability, effective Sec 215(2):form of budgets, when tabled Sec 216(1):uniform norms, GRAP, CoA MFMA Sec 3: MFMA applies in case of inconsistencies in legislation Sec 17: budget in prescribed format Sec 121, 122, 125: AR, AFS, disclosures-prescribed format Sec 168: Minister may make regulations re budget, AFS, AR

80 STANDARDISATION OF BUDGET DOCUMENTATION SIMULTANEOUS STANDARDISATION AND FLEXIBILITY! Standardisation: key tables high level and standard for all Key tables use generic names Supporting tables standard but can expanded to suit local circumstances Future changes may be generic or supporting NT may issue full new set annually

81 Tabled Document vs. Published Document! Fundamental principle: Same document that is tabled, to NT, to PT, municipal offices, website, to stakeholders Everybody has same info, looking at the same thing Additional information may be distributed Summaries may be in alternate languages

82 Tabled Budget vs. Approved Budget Tabled budget for consultation must be same as approved budget, content is consulted upon Improves transparency Allows clear comparison between tabled and approved budgets Demonstrates tabled budget is credible Could be implemented should consultation not result in changes

83 Entity budget info included in municipal budget Need to convey total service delivery package to user/readers of budgets, in-year reports, AFS, AR Need to consolidate financial and non-financial info External service delivery mechanisms requires additional disclosures and accountability Council must therefore accept additional reporting burden to ensure funding and performance is transparent

84 FORMAT OF ANNUAL BUDGET DOCUMENTATION Municipalities: Schedule A Entities: Schedule D Sequence: Parts 1 & 2; Pages 130 & 131 Diagram 5b page 131

85 FORMAT OF ANNUAL BUDGET DOCUMENTATION Ten columns, seven year view Consistent feature: 10 columns, 7 year view Consistent with National and Provincial budgets Three years of audited outcome figures Extra 2 previous years provide background trend verification, 1 year not enough for performance comparison Additional information improve analyses as an early warning mechanism and forecasting tool Four columns required for current year Full year forecast also known as estimated actual outcome Recent trend and performance vital for strategic decisions Remember original budget was extensively consulted on Significant differences between original, adjusted and full year forecast indicate poor planning and unrealistic budgets Three columns for MTREF 85

94 FORMATIVE ACTIVITY Read sections 52, 54, 71 and 72 of the MFMA. Why do you think the MFMA puts so much emphasis on in-year reporting?

95 FORMATIVE ACTIVITY What does it mean if the audited annual financial statement have been disclaimed? What should stakeholders think of the financial status of a municipality whose statements have been disclaimed or heavily qualified? What does it say about the competency of the municipal manager, chief financial officer and finance staff in general?

96 FORMATIVE ACTIVITY What are the benefits of an annual report that focuses on a handful of positive, feel good stories? What should the real focus of an annual report be? Comment on the role of the oversight report in this regard
