11 1.5 Accounting Officer s Overview The 2010/11 financial year was a momentous and eventful year, indeed, in terms of service delivery and stakeholder exposure. The once in a lifetime opportunity presented to South Africa, in particular and Africa in general presented its fair share of expectations and challenges to the arts and culture industry in the Eastern Cape Province. I must hasten to add that the Eastern Cape Department of Sports, Recreation, Arts and Culture under the leadership of honourable Mrs Xoliswa Tom should be hailed for ensuring that Eastern Cape arts practitioners and crafters alike benefitted immensely from the hosting of a cultural programme that coincided with the soccer world cup tournament matches in the Nelson Mandela Metro Municipality. This was realised through a partnership that was forged between the Department of Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture, the Eastern Cape Provincial Arts and Culture Council and the National Arts Council. Performances and exhibitions were held. The economic gain to the artists and crafters were great. The entity disbursed project funding and bursary awards to a number of beneficiaries during the year under review. For the first time in the history of the entity the biggest number of bursaries (34) was awarded to students from the rural Lovedale FET College Arts Campus in Alice. This step will surely be a big boost for the elevation of all our communities and enhancing the potential for growth of the arts and culture industry in the province. The entity undertook a different approach in the sense that a public project handover ceremony was held in the Amathole District where seventy projects were granted funding. The term of office of the Councillors that have been in office for three consecutive terms expired on 31 May An interim council of eight councillors was appointed by the MEC for a one year period to fulfil nine (9) terms of reference. The attainment of the terms of reference will result in the following; the review of the ECPACC Act, review of the funding model, configuration of the financial and human resource management as well as the production of a strategic plan for the entity that is informed by the new and expanded mandate of the entity. During the year under review all the vacant posts at the Amathole Craft Hub (Dimbaza), the Chris Hani Craft Hub (Queenstown) and the Eastern Cape Arts and Craft Hub (Mthatha) were filled. The appointment of an Arts Development Manager at the East London Head Office has resulted in the entity having the capacity to conduct pre-assessment of project applications for both the National Arts Festival and the annual district projects. Working in close collaboration with district officials of the Department of Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture, the Arts Development Manager visits district project applicants, advises, guides, assesses them and makes recommendations to the Council. The film office was allocated an increased budget during the financial year in order to steer the development of a dynamic and vibrant film industry in the Eastern Cape Province. This office is also charged with a responsibility to market the Eastern Cape as an ideal location for film productions. During the year under review this office commissioned the development of two documentaries and a DVD. The two documentaries will be finalised in the first quarter of the new financial year. An integrated Pastel accounting system was implemented by the entity during the year under review. This is in line with the recommendation of the Auditor-General that an integrated accounting system that interfaces with Head Office are installed at the three craft hubs. This step will also serve to ensure that effective, efficient and transparent financial management systems are firmly in place at the entity. The ECPACC stipulates that there should be an honorarium for councillors for providing expertise and services to the organization. The entity implemented the Councillor Remuneration, Subsistence and Travel Policy that was approved by the Honourable MEC during the year under review. The core mandate of the entity is that of promoting the development and appreciation of arts and culture. The entity, therefore, is hoping to play a meaningful role in the development and launch of provincial sector plans on craft, music, film and performing arts the Honourable MEC for Sport, Recreation, Art and Culture, Mrs Xoliswa Tom mentioned in her 2011/2012 Policy Speech. 11

12 One of the submissions made at the Mzantsi`s Golden Economy Consultative Conference convened by the Department of Arts and Culture (DAC) on April 2011 at the Newtown Cultural Precinct in Johannesburg was that the creative economy in South Africa has the potential to be a leading sector in generating economic growth, employment and trade as in the case in many advanced economies. The entity, as the provincial department`s arts and culture agent has an obligation to play a central role in ensuring that government conserves, protects and preserves our culture and heritage. The Council is, therefore, looking forward to the hosting of the provincial chapter of the above conference in the new financial year. In conclusion, the Council wishes to convey its appreciation to the Honourable MEC, Mrs Xoliswa Tom, Office of the MEC personnel, the Head of Department and all departmental officials for the guidance and support provided to the entity during the year under review. The attainment of an unqualified audit report during the year under review would not have been achieved without your continued stewardship. The Council wishes to thank the past councillors of the entity and the audit committee for the leadership, commitment and sacrifice they demonstrated when discharging their oversight role during the year under review. The Council also wishes to thank its staff at both Head Office and the Craft Hubs for the hard work, dedication and sacrifice that they put in to ensure that the entity grows from strength to strength. Yours in the unwavering pursuit of a dynamic arts and cultural landscape for the Eastern Cape Province. TR Mehlala 31 August

15 2.1 Overall Performance The purpose of this report is to provide balanced and reliable information regarding the Eastern Cape Provincial Arts and Culture Council`s performance against its planned objectives as contained in its strategic plan Voted Funds Table 1: Final Appropriation for the year ended 31 March Appropriation Main Appropriation Actual Amount spent Amount to be appropriated R12, 225m R14, 744m R2 519m Responsible MEC Administering Department Accounting Authority Accounting Officer Mrs Xoliswa Tom Over Expenditure Department of Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture Eastern Cape Provincial Arts and Culture Council Mr TR Mehlala Mandate of the Entity The mandate of the entity is to promote the development and preservation of arts and culture in the Province. The entity also strives to enhance public participation in the arts and ensure the development of a broad, inclusive and identifiable Eastern Cape culture Summary of Programmes The budget structure of the entity consists of the four programmes in line with the core functions of the entity. The programmes are as follows: Programme 1: Administration Programme 2: Attainment of Excellence Programme 3: Support to Artists Programme 4: Enterprise Development and Partnerships Key Strategic Objectives and Achievements Provide strategic leadership and administrative support Provide effective management to enhance service delivery Build a competent, qualified and diverse workforce Build an organisational culture and mind-set that promotes competence and excellence Promote internationally accepted best practice supply chain management (SCM) 15

16 Provide sound financial management systems Identification and capacitation of arts and culture projects of excellence Promotion and development of cultural industries Identification and development of community arts and culture individuals and groups Build cohesive, caring and sustainable communities Achievements There were many noteworthy achievements that came out of the projects the entity embarked on. These are over and above the targets that the entity set out to achieve during the year under review. The following were achieved: The appointment of an Arts Development Manager responsible for pre-assessment, monitoring and evaluation and post-assessment of funded projects. The formation of a partnership between the entity and the National Arts Council (NAC) that benefitted the Eastern Cape artists and crafters during the period of the 2010 Soccer World Cup. The introduction of an integrated Pastel system linking craft hubs and head office. All vacant support staff posts at the three craft hubs were filled during the year Overview of the service delivery environment for 2010/11 The review of the current financial year reflects the following successes with regard to key projects that the entity undertook. As an entity charged with the responsibility of promoting the development of arts and culture in the Eastern Cape Province, a number of crafters were assisted in marketing and subsequent selling of their craft. The three craft hubs strategically placed in Mthatha, Queenstown and Dimbaza served as service points for the display and selling points for these craft works. The sales generated at the three craft hubs boosted the income and employment potential of the mainly rural women crafters for the 2010/11 financial year. In an effort to increase the income generation potential of both performing artists and crafters alike, the entity also forged some partnerships with other formations. Partnerships with the National Arts Council during the period of the 2010 soccer world cup tournament served to make the 2010 cultural programme in Port Elizabeth possible. Various artforms, namely: drama, music, dance, poetry, crafters etc. were afforded the opportunity to gain through their participation in this extravaganza, thereby gaining economic benefits from the hosting of the world cup in South Africa. The hosting of the annual Wild Coast Cultural Festival in Port St John s in December 2010 also provided an opportunity for provincial artists to gain training and development and capacitation in various areas. Product development for crafters was another area where interventions were offered Overview of the organisational environment for 2010/11 The filling of all vacant posts in the craft hubs in Dimbaza, Mthatha and Queenstown as per the approved organisational structure of the organisation was achieved during the year under review. These appointments mean that the three craft hubs have a full complement of staff that will enable the hubs to carry out their mandate. The resignation of the Amathole Craft Hub Manager in Dimbaza, King Williamstown in May 2010 impacted negatively on the preparations and implementation of the planned 2010 projects planned for the hub. However, the subsequent appointment of a new manager has inspired the efforts of the entity to deliver value to its beneficiaries, artists and crafters. 16

17 The term of office of the Council that oversees governance at the entity ended on 31 May A new Interim Council took office on 01 June Its term will end on 01 June This Interim Council was given terms of reference to fulfil during its year long term. A final report will be presented to the Member of the Executive Council (MEC) for Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture before 31 May Key policy developments and legislative changes One of the Terms of Reference for the Interim Council is that it must participate in the review of the ECPACC Act. In an effort to achieve this, the entity has engaged in this process which is spearheaded by the department. This review process will spill-over to the 2011/12 financial year. The other term of reference is that of the development of a new funding model for the organisation. When completed, this will bring into the organisation a new dimension into the funding of community arts groups. This process will also spill-over into the 2011/12 financial year. The accomplishment of the Interim Council terms of reference will have huge implications for the strategic direction the entity engages in going forward. This will mean that in the 2011/12 financial year the entity will have to embark on a strategic planning and consultative process that seeks to shape this direction. The inevitable outcome will be the review of the strategic plan and annual performance plan of the organisation Capital Investment, maintenance and asset management plan Capital Investment No funds were appropriated for this purpose because investment in capital is not part of the entity`s core functions. The only capital investment made was for the purchase of office furniture, office equipment and computer hardware for R126, 225. Maintenance Maintenance is the responsibility of the owner of the property. Maintenance carried out in the year amounted to R34, 219. Asset Management The assets of the entity are captured in the Asset Register. This register is compliant with the National Treasury Guidelines. 17

18 2.2 Programme Performance The activities of the Eastern Cape Provincial Arts and Culture Council are organised in the following programmes: Programme 1: Administration Programme 2: Attainment of Excellence Programme 3: Support to Artists Programme 4: Enterprise Development and Partnerships Programme 1: Administration Purpose The purpose of this programme is to provide overall management and administrative support to the units of the entity. Strategic Objectives Fully researched policies developed and implemented Performance and Expenditure reports developed and submitted Annual reports compiled and submitted timeously Effective and reliable ICT service provided to users Timeous payment of creditors within 30 days of receipt of invoice Submission of annual budgets Submission of annual financial statements Website updated and maintained consistently Adherence to internal control measures A competent and qualified diverse workforce Service Delivery Achievements and Challenges Achievements The following service delivery achievements were attained during the year under review: (a) Integrated Pastel system An integrated Pastel system was installed during the year under review. This development will ensure that there is interface between the craft hub operations and the head office. 18

19 (b) Policy review and development Fourteen finance related policies were either reviewed or new ones developed during the year. Through these policies the entity was able to address internal control deficiencies that were detected in the last financial year. (c) Risk Management The entity conducted an internal risk management workshop during the year. This workshop which was attended by both councillors and management was aimed at assessing both inherent and residual risks facing the entity. It provided an ideal opportunity for both council and management to have one understanding of the objectives, risks and controls within the organisation. Bottlenecks and barriers to the attainment of set objectives were identified, rated and targeted. Mitigating factors for each risk were also developed. (d) Arts Development Manager An Arts Development Manager responsible for pre-assessment, monitoring and evaluation and postassessment of funded projects was appointed during the year under review. This development will serve to enhance the monitoring and evaluation of projects and bursaries funded by the institution. A monitoring and Evaluation tool has since been developed and approved by the Council. This template will henceforth be used in the monitoring and evaluation of funded projects. (e) Recruitment of staff In the quest to build and nurture a competent, qualified and diverse workforce the vacant posts at the three craft hubs in Dimbaza, Mthatha and Queenstown were filled during the year under review. The filling of these posts will surely have positive spin-offs for service delivery going forward. The objective of engendering an organizational culture and mindset that promotes competence and excellence can only be realized through steps like these. In the coming financial year all efforts will be exhausted on filling the few vacant posts at Head Office. This, however, will hinge on the availability of the budget. Challenges The major challenge the entity faces here is the inability to employ at least two arts development officers who would be deployed to various districts to monitor and evaluate all funded projects. The current situation is that the Arts Development Manager is only able to operate optimally with regards to pre-assessment and assessment projects through the support of departmental district officials. Planned improvement measures The concerted effort of seeking alternative sources of funding in the new financial year will help alleviate the situation. The other option the entity is going to explore is that of recruiting interns (unemployed students with arts related qualifications) to assist with this process. 19

20 Service Delivery Objectives and Indicators Programme 1 : ADMINISTRATION Strategic Objective Performance indicator Annual Target Actual Performance against Target Target Actual Reason for Variance 1 To provide strategic leadership and administrative support in the execution of the mandate of the entity Fully researched policies developed and implemented Performance and expenditure reports developed and submitted Management presented the fourteen policies for discussion and approval to the Interim Council.

21 Programme 2: Attainment of Excellence Purpose The purpose of the programme is to nurture and develop projects of excellence in the field of arts, craft, music, film, dance, language, publishing and other artforms. Strategic Objectives Uniquely Eastern Cape arts and craft exhibited nationally and internationally EC artists win awards and accolades nationally and abroad Manuscripts published in the Eastern Cape are launched regionally and nationally Supported artists become self-sustainable entrepreneurs and performers Timeous payment of artists who have done performances-within days of receipt of invoice Timeous payment of crafters whose consignment stock has been bought at the Craft Hubs Craft hub monthly sales reports Quarterly reports training from craft hubs submitted timeously Job creation opportunities increase in the small business sector Service Delivery Achievements and Challenges Achievements (a) 2010 Soccer World Cup and National Arts Festival Projects of Excellence Forty Four (44) uniquely Eastern Cape projects were granted funding to showcase their products and display their talents to the tourists and fans who had come to the country for the soccer showpiece. These projects of excellence also used the funding provided for transport, accommodation, performances, hire stalls and sell craft productions at the Annual National Arts Festival in Grahamstown during the year under review. (b) International Art Exhibition Antonio Leeuwskieter, a visual artist from the Nelson Mandela Metro was granted funding that enabled him to exhibit his artworks in the Netherlands (Holland) during the year under review. He was part of an art exhibition held in Heerhugowaard in the Netherlands that will surely provide international exposure for other South African artists. (c) Publication of Manuscripts Three Sesotho manuscripts and the 4 th Volume of the Isivivane publication were launched at the National Festival (Wordfest) in Grahamstown in the 2010/11 financial year. The Kotaz- a magazine of post apartheid poems and short stories was also launched during the year. Another crowning glory in this area was the launch and publication of a manuscript by Dr Phil Ndlela at the Wordfest in Grahamstown. Dark Clouds at Sulenkama by Mr Joe Majija of the OR Tambo was also launched on 27 January (d) National Craft Exhibition The Amathole and Ukhahlamba Crafters Associations were provided with funding that made it possible for them to hire stalls, exhibit and sell their wares at the annual Mangaung Cultural Festival (MACUFE) in Bloemfontein, South Africa. 21

22 (e) Awards and accolades An Afro-Jazz group from the Nelson Mandela Metro, Fohloza gained national prominence during the year under review. Another Eastern Cape artist Veliswa Skeyi continued to grace the national charts with her gospel renditions. (f) Increased Craft Hub Sales The three craft hubs based in Dimbaza, Mthatha and Queenstown which were established in order to serve as centres where provincial craft products could be marketed and sold on behalf of the mainly rural and semi-urban women crafters in order to provide sustainable income continued to deliver good sales in the 2010/11 financial year. Not only did they do the above, but they also offered product development training for crafters in order to improve the quality of their products so that they could be competitive in national and international markets. Challenges (a) Capacity building Budgetary constraints continued to frustrate the provision of more opportunities for the practise and appreciation of arts, culture and languages for Eastern Cape cultural practitioners. For instance, the craft hubs could not offer more product development training for crafters due to financial constraints. (b) Vehicles for the three craft hubs The entity cannot afford to buy commercial vehicles for the three craft hubs. This is due to the limited budget allocation. Craft hubs, as a result struggle to transport craft works to district, regional and national exhibitions. These missed opportunities deprive the crafters of much needed sales made possible by these exhibitions. (c) Inaccessibility of Craft Hubs Both the Eastern Cape Arts and Craft Hub (Mthatha) and the Amathole Craft Hub (Dimbaza) are located in industrial areas and are not accessible to the tourists, crafters, artists and members of the public. Planned improvement measures (a) Capacity building The entity will double its efforts in trying to forge partnerships with like-minded institutions with a view to acquiring funds for training and development of artists and crafters alike. (b) Vehicles for the craft hubs The entity will endeavour to put together a robust fundraising strategy focussed at the private sector in the new financial year. The acquisition of a bakkie or a commercial vehicle for each of the three hubs will be at the centre of this fundraising drive. (c) Inaccessibility of the craft Hubs The entity, in partnership with the department and other stakeholders is exploring all avenues aimed at acquiring use of accessible premises for the units when the current lease agreements expire. 22

23 Programme 2 : ATTAINMENT OF EXCELLENCE Strategic Objective 1 Identification and capacitation of arts and culture projects of excellence 2 Promotion and development of cultural industries Performance indicator Annual Target Uniquely EC arts and craft exhibited nationally and internationally EC artists win awards and accolades nationally and abroad Manuscripts published in the EC are launched regionally and nationally Supported artists become self-sustainable entrepreneurs and performers Timeous payment of artists who have done performances-within days of receipt of invoice Timeous payment of crafters whose consignment stock has been bought at the hubs Craft hub monthly sales reports Reasons for major variances Quarterly training reports from craft hubs submitted timeously Job creation opportunities increase in the small business sector Actual Performance against Target Target Actual Reason for Variance There were no arts and culture events in the fourth quarter where art and craft could be exhibited Only two achieved national and international honours More manuscripts were launched in order to coincide with the 2010 soccer world cup tournament and the 2010 National Arts Festival The development of our artists to the level of sustainability does not happen at the anticipated rate due to the unavailability of development opportunities in the province Financial limitations mitigated against the provision of more training interventions at the craft hubs This target was deferred due to financial constraints Budgetary constraints resulted in limited training opportunities and the deferring of targets As a result of the budgetry constraints and the concomitant impact on the achievement of service delivery targets, the council and the department are searching an alternative funding model for the institution. The revised model should be implemented in the 2012/13 financial year. 23

24 Programme 3: Support to artists Purpose The main purpose of the programme is to identify and nurture community arts and culture individuals and groups in the various districts of the province. Strategic Objectives (a) Number of district projects granted funding (b) Number of 2010 related projects granted funding (c) Number of students studying arts related courses at tertiary level (d) Post project reports generated and submitted (e) Exhibition opportunities created nationally and internationally (f) Increased performance/appearance opportunities created for artists Service Delivery Achievements and Challenges Achievements (a) Public Project Hand-Over Ceremony The entity held a public project hand-over ceremony at the Mdantsane Art Centre, East London, Amathole District during the year under review. Over seventy (70) projects from this district were awarded funding. Community individual and group projects from other districts were also recipients of this funding. This stakeholder outreach programme was a success judging by the enthusiastic response received from the beneficiaries and the local print media. (b) Soccer World Cup Cultural Programme A partnership was concluded with the National Arts Council in order to make it possible for artists to perform in Port Elizabeth during the period of the soccer world cup tournament. The provincial department of Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture provided transportation and accommodation for crafters who descended on Port Elizabeth from other provincial districts at the Culturama campsite situated in the Nelson Mandela Metro. This partnership enabled provincial arts practitioners to enjoy the economic benefits from the holding of the event in South Africa. Crafters were also accorded the chance to exhibit and sell craft at the PE Fan Fest. (c) Bursaries awarded A total of one hundred and twenty four (124) bursaries were awarded to deserving Eastern Cape students studying visual art, fine art, music, drama, film, language, dance and craft at various tertiary institutions in the country and abroad. Fifty two percent (52%) of the recipients were female students. Ninety percent (90%) of these beneficiaries were black students and ten percent (10%) were white students. 24

25 Challenges Over reliance on limited funding from the entity compromises the successful implementation of projects. Familiarity with the requirements in the project application forms is a challenge, especially for most of our artists and crafters who come from rural background. Planned Corrective Measures The entity has begun a process of advising the arts community about funding opportunities in the country. Funding agencies like the National Arts Council have been requested to send their application forms to our provincial offices so that the entity may give them to applicants who frequent our offices. The entity has developed two sets of application forms, an individual and a group application form. These standard forms have already been explained to potential applicants at various workshops in the province. These workshops will be a permanent feature in our artist outreach programmes. 25

26 Service Delivery Objectives and Indicators Programme 3 : SUPPORT TO ARTISTS 1 Strategic Objective Identification and development of community arts and culture individuals and groups Performance indicator Annual Target Number of district projects granted funding Number of 2010 related projects granted funding Number of students studying arts related courses at tertiary level Number of post projects reports generated and submitted Exhibition opportunities created nationally and overseas Increased performance/ appearance opportunities created for artists Actual Performance against Target Target Actual Reason for Variance More 2010 projects were funded in order to enable artists and crafters to make economic gains from the 2010 soccer world cup and the National Arts Festival. Hence the funding of more projects in the year. Not achieved due to budget being exhausted for annual district funding, the 2010 soccer world cup cultural programme and the National Arts Festival (see above for reference). Escalation of fees at institutions of higher learning has resulted in fewer students getting bursaries than projected. The employment of an Arts Development Manager resulted in improved monitoring, evaluation and reporting. The submission of more project reports was the end-result. The 2010 World Cup tournament created a lot of opportunities for EC artists through the cultural programme held in and around PE, hence the overachievement. Reasons for major variances The increased numbers of the 2010 projects were funded in order to enable artists and crafters to make economic gains from the 2010 soccer world cup and the National Arts Festival. Hence the funding of more projects in the year. The 2010 related project funding was not achieved due to budget being exhausted for annual district funding and the 2010 soccer world cup cultural programme in Port Elizabeth. However, project funding for the National Arts Festival (NAF) in Grahamstown made up for this as the NAF projects funded were biased towards 2010 world cup fans and tourists, alike. This explains the over-achievement in district project funding. The 2010 World Cup tournament created a lot of opportunities for EC artists through the cultural programme held in and around PE, hence the overachievement 26

27 Programme 4: Enterprise Development and Partnerships Purpose The main aim of the programme is to implement an integrated arts development plan in order to maximize the economic benefits of the arts and culture. Strategic Objectives (a) Structured relationships to promote arts and culture developed (b) A pilot enterprise development centre established in one or more rural districts (c) A film office established Service Delivery Achievements and Challenges Achievements (a) Film Office - Documentaries produced A documentary on the North End forced removals that took place in East London in the early sixties was produced. It will be finalised in the new financial year. The Ukuthwala- Marriage by Abduction documentary was also developed during the year under review as part of the moral regeneration campaign championed by the Honourable MEC, Mrs Xoliswa Tom. This will also be finalised in the first quarter of the new financial year. (b) Craft Hub Marketing DVD A DVD profiling and marketing the Eastern Cape, Amathole and Chris Hani Craft Hubs was developed during the year under review. This is aimed at highlighting the value added by the hubs in promoting the Eastern Cape Province as the best place to invest in. The other aim is to embrace tourism agencies in the province as partners in promoting eco-tourism. (c) Film Office Website The Eastern Cape Film Office (ECFO) website continues to attract visits from provincial, national and international film producers who want to catch a glimpse of the Eastern Cape and make it an ideal film location. Challenges The absence of sustainable partnerships with other Eastern Cape tourism and film development agencies in the province continues to hamper the wholesale marketing of the province as a destination for film development and investment. The objective of establishing development centres in the Alfred Nzo and Ukhahlamba (Joe Gqabi) districts could not be realised due to unavailability of much needed funds. Planned Corrective Measures The entity will embark on a concerted drive to forge partnerships with other institutions in order to secure funds that will see the realisation of these enterprise development centres. 27

28 Service Delivery Objectives and Indicators Programme 4 : ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT AND PARTNERSHIPS Strategic Objective 1 Building cohesive, caring and sustainable communities Performance indicator Annual Target Structured relationships to promote arts and culture developed Actual Performance against Target Target Actual 7 3 Reason for Variance The partnerships negotiated with other stakeholders to promote arts and culture projects could not be completed as anticipated due to funding bottlenecks. A pilot enterprise development centre established in one or more rural districts 1 0 Target could not be achieved during the year under review due to budgetary constraints. Reasons for major variances A film office established 1 1 Budgetary limitations resulted in the non-achievement of the target. 28

Due to insufficient time lapsing between the reports and the date of this report, the audit committee has as yet not been able to assess whether the risks identified by the risk assessment and internal audit reports have been adequately addressed. Auditor-General South Africa We concur with and accept the Auditor-General South Africa s report on the annual financial statements, and are of the opinion that the audited annual financial statements should be accepted read together with the report of the Auditor-General South Africa.

33 3.2 Report of the Accounting Officer The attainment of an unqualified audit report by the Eastern Cape Provincial Arts and Culture Council during the year under review is cause for celebration. It came about because of the hard work and resolve by both council and staff to strive towards an improved result. The entity, will, during the current financial use its human and financial resources to work towards achieving a clean audit. During the 2010/11 financial year the organisation continued to deliver on its mandate. It continued to disburse increased funding for the projects of excellence that took part in annual national arts festival. It also granted funding to district individual and group projects, therefore enabling them to use their creative juices to produce of great quality in advancing the creative industries growth. The implementation of an integrated Pastel system linking the craft hubs and the finance office at Head Office during the year under review is another milestone achieved. It will play a significant part in the quest to improve systems and enhancement of service delivery. The signing of the procedural and relationship agreement with the National Education, Health and Allied Workers Union (NEHAWU) is a welcome development on the labour relations front. It will serve to promote cordial relations between labour and the employer. We are optimistic that it will be good for both employee motivation and performance. Budgetary constraints experienced by the entity during the year under review made it difficult to deliver on some of its targets. Critical posts of arts development officers and that of a human resources officer at head office could also not be filled; capacity and product development interventions for the arts and craft beneficiaries could not take place as well. This state of affairs impacted negatively on the ability of the entity to achieve some of its service delivery obligations. The entity is hopeful that the review of the ECPACC Act that is driven by the Department of Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture will be finalised in the new 2011/12 financial year. This will enable the entity to deliver on its renewed mandate with vigour and energy. It is anticipated that the review of the funding model during the 2011/12 financial year will result in the entity disbursing meaningful funding to projects and bursary holders. The entity will during the course of the 2011/12 financial year undertake a review of its predetermined objectives with a view to aligning these to the strategic objectives as laid out in its strategic plan. This successful completion of this review is very critical, especially in the light of the fact that the Auditor-General will issue an opinion on performance information in the 2011/12 audit. On behalf of the Council I wish to say that let us all in partnership with our stakeholders and beneficiaries continue to build a vibrant and effective vehicle in order to make a difference to our expectant communities, we owe it to them all. 33

34 3.3 Report of the Auditor-General REPORT OF THE AUDITOR-GENERAL TO PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE ON EASTERN CAPE PROVINCIAL ARTS AND CULTURE COUNCIL REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Introduction 1. I have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Eastern Cape Provincial Arts and Culture Council, which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 March 2011, and the statement of financial performance, statement of changes in net assets and cash flow statement for the year then ended, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the accounting authority s report as set out on pages 39 to 41. Accounting authority s responsibility for the financial statements 2. The accounting authority is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with South African Standards of Generally Recognised Accounting Practice (SA Standards of GRAP) and the requirements of the Public Finance Management Act of South Africa, 1999 (Act No. 1 of 1999) (PFMA), and for such internal control as management determines necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor-General s responsibility 3. As required by section 188 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 (Act No. 108 of 1996) and section 4 of the Public Audit Act of South Africa, 2004 (Act No. 25 of 2004) (PAA), my responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit. 4. I conducted my audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and General Notice 1111 of 2010 issued in Government Gazette of 15 December Those standards require that I comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. 5. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. 6. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion. 34

35 Opinion 7. In my opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Eastern Cape Provincial Arts and Culture Council as at 31 March 2011 and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with SA Standards of GRAP and the requirements of the PFMA. Emphasis of matter 8. I draw attention to the matter below. My opinion is not modified in respect of this matter: Restatement of corresponding figures 9. As disclosed in note 19 to the financial statements, the corresponding figures for 2010 have been restated as a result of an error discovered during 2011 in the financial statements of the Eastern Cape Provincial Arts and Culture Council at, and for the year ended, 31 March REPORT ON OTHER LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS 10. In accordance with the PAA and in terms of General notice 1111 of 2010, issued in Government Gazette of 15 December 2010, I include below my findings on the annual performance report as set out on pages 15 to 28 and material non-compliance with laws and regulations applicable to the public entity. Predetermined objectives Included below are the findings raised during our audit of the report on predetermined objectives. Usefulness of information 11. The following criteria are relevant to the findings below: Relevance: A clear and logical link exists between the objectives, outcomes, outputs, indicators and performance targets Measurability: Indicators are verifiable, and targets are specific Audit findings: Planned and reported indicators are not verifiable 12. For the selected objectives valid performance management processes and systems that produce actual performance against the planned indicator do not exist for 44% of the indicators. Planned and reported targets are not specific 13. For the selected objectives 40% of the planned and reported targets were not specific in clearly identifying the nature and the required level of performance. Reliability of information 14. The following criterion is relevant to the finding below: Completeness: All actual results and events that should have been recorded have been included in the annual performance report. 35

36 Audit finding: The completeness of reported performance against indicators could not be confirmed as inadequate supporting source information was provided 15. I was unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence over the completeness of reported performance against targets as appropriate systems are not in place to record and report performance. The completeness of performance of the following targets reported in the annual performance report could not be determined even through alternative procedures: Manuscripts published in the Eastern Cape are launched regionally and nationally Supported artists becomes self sustainable entrepreneurs and performers Post project reports generated and submitted Compliance with laws and regulations Strategic planning and performance management 16. The accounting authority did not ensure that the public entity has and maintains an effective, efficient and transparent system of internal control regarding performance management, which described and represented how the entity s processes of performance planning, monitoring, measurement, review and reporting as conducted, organised and managed as required by section 51(1)(a)(i) of the PFMA. Annual financial statements, performance and annual reports 17. The accounting authority submitted financial statements for auditing that were not prepared in all material aspects in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice as required by section 55(1) ((a) and) (b) of the PFMA. The material misstatements identified by the AGSA with regards to current assets, liabilities, revenue, expenditure and disclosure items were subsequently corrected. Procurement and contract management 18. Awards were made to suppliers that did not score the highest points in the evaluation process as per the requirements of Section 2(1)(f) of Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act. 19. Awards were made to suppliers who failed to provide written proof from the South African Revenue Service that their tax matters are in order as per the requirements of Preferential Procurement Regulations 16 and Treasury Regulation 16A9.1(d) 20. Awards were made to bidders who did not submit an SBD 4 declaring whether the bidder or any person connected with the bidder is employed by the state or if the bidder is a legal person, whether the bidder has a relationship with persons/ a person involved in the evaluation and/or adjudication of the bids as per the requirements of Practice Note 7 of 2009/10. Expenditure management 21. The accounting authority did not take effective and appropriate steps to prevent irregular expenditure, disclosed in note 8 and note 22 to the financial statements, as per the requirements of section 51(1)(b) of the PFMA. Revenue management 22. The accounting authority did not take effective and appropriate steps to collect all revenue due to the 36

37 entity as per requirements of section 51(1)(b)(i) of the PFMA. INTERNAL CONTROL 23. In accordance with the PAA and in terms of General notice 1111 of 2010, issued in Government Gazette of 15 December 2010, I considered internal control relevant to my audit, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control. The matters reported below are limited to the significant deficiencies that resulted in the opinion, the findings on the annual performance report and the findings on compliance with laws and regulations included in this report. Leadership 24. The provision for doubtful debts was not initially identified by management due to management not performing an assessment of the impairment of long outstanding debtors to determine whether they are recoverable as required by the accounting framework. 25. The entity has not established approved policies and procedures for all financial and non-financial operations of the entity. Various policies are in a draft format which has not yet been approved by the council. This leads to ineffective internal controls over the financial reporting process. The matter has been reported in prior years and to date action plans of management has not proven effective in addressing the matter. 26. Furthermore no policies or procedures have been established to address reporting over predetermined objectives, to ensure valid, accurate and complete reporting on performance against predetermined objectives. Financial and performance management 27. The processes and systems implemented by management over financial reporting did not address all of the requirements of the GRAP framework. As a result material misstatements relating to revenue, cost of sales, debtors and disclosure notes were identified and corrected as a result of the audit. 28. Irregular expenditure was incurred in the current year as management has not implemented appropriate controls over compliance with the requirements of Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Regulation 16, R725 of 10 August 2001, and Practice note 7 of 2009/10 issued by National Treasury. Governance 29. A risk assessment workshop was not performed prior to the start of the financial year. Risks identified have not been communicated to staff members at the hubs. The risks identified by management are not matched with appropriate internal control measures. East London 29 July 2011 SOUTH AFRICA Auditing to build public conference 37

42 3.5 Statement of Responsibility by the Accounting Authority as at 31 March 2011 The annual financial statements are the responsibility of the Accounting Authority. Although the board of ECPACC is primarily responsible for the financial affairs of the council, they are supported by the council s external auditors. The external auditors are responsible for independently reviewing and reporting on the council s financial statements. The financial statements have been examined by the council s external auditors and their report is presented on pages 34 to 37. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the effective Standards of Generally Recognised Accounting Practices (GRAP) including any interpretations, guidelines and directives issued by the Accounting Standards Board. The Accounting Authority has reviewed the Council s budgets and cash flow forecasts for the year ended 31 March On the basis of this review, and in the light of the current financial position, the Accounting Authority has every reason to believe that the Council will be a going concern in the year ahead and have continued to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. The Accounting Authority sets standards to enable management to meet the above responsibilities by implementing systems of internal control and risk management that are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute assurance against material misstatements and losses. The entity maintains internal financial controls to provide assurance regarding: (a) (b) The safeguarding of assets against unauthorised use or disposition, and The maintenance of proper accounting records and the reliability of financial information used within the entity or for publication. The controls contain self-monitoring mechanisms, and actions are taken to correct deficiencies as they are identified. Even an effective system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations, including the possibility of circumvention or the overriding of controls. An effective system of internal controls, therefore, aims to provide reasonable assurance with respect to the reliability of financial information and, in particular, financial statement presentation. Furthermore, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal financial control may vary over time. The Accounting Authority has reviewed the entity s systems of internal control and risk management for the period from 1 April 2010 to 31 March The Accounting Authority is of the opinion that the entity s system of internal control and risk management were effective for the period under review. In the opinion of the Accounting Authority, based on the information available to date, the annual financial statements fairly present the financial position of the Eastern Cape Provincial Arts & Culture Council at 31 March 2011 and the results of its operations and cash flow information for the year and the Code of Corporate Practices and Conduct has been adhered to. The financial statements set out on pages 43 to 78, which have been prepared on the going concern basis, were approved by the Accounting Authority in terms of section 51(1)(f) of the Public Finance Management Act 1999, (Act 1 of 1999) on 31 May 2011 and were signed on its behalf by: Chief Executive Officer RT Mehlala 29 July

47 Eastern Cape Provincial Arts & Culture Council Annual Financial Statements 3.10 Accounting Policies as at 31 March Basis of Preparation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the effective Standards of Generally Recognised Accounting Practices (GRAP) including any interpretations, guidelines and directives issued by the Accounting Standards Board. Presentation currency The financial statements are presented in South African Rand, which is the functional currency of the entity. Unless stated otherwise, all figures have been rounded off to the nearest Rand. Going concern assumption These Annual Financial Statements have been prepared on the assumption that the entity will continue to operate as a going concern for at least the next 12 months. Comparative information When the presentation or classification of items in the Annual Financial Statements is amended, prior period comparative amounts are restated. The nature and reason for the reclassification is disclosed. Where accounting errors have been identified in the current year, the correction is made retrospectively as far as is practicable, and the prior year comparatives are restated accordingly. Where there has been a change in accounting policy in the current year, the adjustment is made retrospectively as far as is practicable, and the prior year comparatives are restated accordingly Significant judgements In preparing the Annual Financial Statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts represented in the Annual Financial Statements and related disclosures. Use of available information and the application of judgement is inherent in the formation of estimates. Actual results in the future could differ from these estimates which may be material to the Annual Financial Statements. Significant judgements include: Loans and Receivables The entity assesses its loans and receivables for impairment at each reporting date. In determining whether an impairment loss should be recorded in the Statement of Financial Performance, the entity makes judgements as to whether there is observable data indicating a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a financial asset. The impairment for loans and receivables is calculated on a portfolio basis, based on historical loss ratios, adjusted for national and industry-specific economic conditions and other indicators present at the reporting date that correlate with defaults on the portfolio. These annual loss ratios are applied to loan balances in the portfolio and scaled to the estimated loss emergence period Fair value estimation The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the entity for similar financial instruments. 47

48 Eastern Cape Provincial Arts & Culture Council Annual Financial Statements 3.10 Accounting Policies as at 31 March 2011 (continued) Impairment testing The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units and individual assets have been determined based on the higher of value-in-use calculations and fair values. These calculations require the use of estimates and assumptions. The entity reviews and tests the carrying value of assets when events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If there are indications that impairment may have occurred, estimates are prepared of expected future cash flows for each group of assets Provisions Provisions were raised and management determined an estimate based on the information available. Additional disclosure of these estimates of provisions are included in the notes to the financial statements. Provisions are measured at management s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the reporting date, and are discounted to present value where the effect is material Useful lives and residual values The entity re-assess the useful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment on an annual basis. In re assessing the useful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment management considers the condition and use of the individual assets, to determine the remaining period over which the asset can and will be used Statements and interpretations not yet effective The following standards, amendments to standards and interpretations, with their estimated effect on the Financial Statements, have been issued but are not yet effective as at 31 March 2011: GRAP 18 - Segment Reporting ASB Issue date: March 2005 Effective date: To be determined by the Minister New standard of GRAP: Establishes principles for reporting financial information by segments. The impact of implementing this standard is expected to be immaterial in the context of this entity s operations GRAP 25 - Employee Benefits ASB Issue date: November 2009 Effective date: To be determined by the Minister New standard of GRAP dealing with the requirements around accounting and disclosure of employee benefits including short term, long term and post retirement employee benefits. The impact of implementing this standard is expected to be immaterial in the context of this entity s operations. 48

The standard will prescribe the standard practices to be followed where one entity receives the function(s) and related assets and liabilities of another entity. The standard takes cognizance that the transfer of functions often occur without any consideration for the assets and liabilities and prescribes the recognition and measurement thereof GRAP Transfer of Functions Between Entities Not Under Common Control ASB Issue date: November 2010 Effective date: To be determined by the Minister New standard of GRAP that will replace IFRS 3 and that deals specifically with the transfer of functions between entities that are not under common control (i.e. unrelated entities). The standard will prescribe the standard practices to be followed where one entity receives the function(s) and related assets and liabilities of another entity. The standard takes cognizance that the transfer of functions often occur without any consideration for the assets and liabilities and prescribes the recognition and measurement thereof GRAP Mergers ASB Issue date: November 2010 Effective date: To be determined by the Minister New standard of GRAP that will replace IFRS 3 and that deals specifically with the combination of entities within the public sector. The standard will prescribe the standard practices to be followed where entities combine through acquisition of one entity by another Revenue Recognition Revenue comprises the cost of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods in the ordinary course of the council s activities. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable net of estimated returns, rebates and discounts. 49

50 Eastern Cape Provincial Arts & Culture Council Annual Financial Statements 3.10 Accounting Policies as at 31 March 2011 (continued) Revenue is recognised as follows: Revenue from Exchange Transactions Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the risk is passed to the consumer. Interest is recognised on a time proportion basis. All other revenue is recognised as it accrues Revenue from non-exchange transactions Revenue received from conditional grants are recognised as revenue to the extent that the entity has complied with any of the criteria, conditions or obligations embodied in the agreement. To the extent that the criteria, conditions or obligations have not been met a liability is recognised. Revenue from the recovery of unauthorised, irregular, fruitless and wasteful expenditure is based on legislated procedures, including those set out in the Public Finance Management Act (Act No.1 of 1999) and is recognised when the recovery thereof from the responsible councilors or officials is virtually certain Property, plant and equipment Recognition The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset when: (a) (b) it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the council; and the cost of the item can be measured reliably Initial recognition The council adopted the cost model for all classes of property, plant and equipment. Property, Plant and Equipment are initially recorded at cost Subsequent measurement Property, plant and equipment, is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Any subsequent expenditure to any asset that increases the value of the asset is seen as an improvement and will be capitalised during the year in which such expenditure is incurred. Replacement costs or repairs that does not increase the value of any asset, will be expensed in the year such expenditure is incurred Depreciation When components of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as 50

51 Eastern Cape Provincial Arts & Culture Council Annual Financial Statements 3.10 Accounting Policies as at 31 March 2011 (continued) separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment and are depreciated according to their different useful lives. The depreciation charge for each year is recognised in surplus and deficit unless it is included in the carrying amount of another asset. Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over the lower of the term of the lease period or the life expectancy of the asset. Depreciation is calculated on cost less residual value, using the straight line method, over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The annual depreciation rates are based on the following estimated useful lives: Computer equipment 33% Motor Vehicles 20% Fixtures and fittings 10% Office Equipment 20% Plant and equipment 10% Telephone equipment 50% The residual value and the useful life of each asset are reviewed annually Impairment The council assesses at each statement of financial position date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the entity estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs is determined. The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. That reduction is an impairment loss. An impairment loss of assets carried at cost less any accumulated depreciation or amortisation is recognised immediately in surplus or deficit. Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease. An impairment loss is recognised for cash-generating units if the recoverable amount of the unit is less than the carrying amount of the units. A reversal of an impairment loss of assets carried at cost less accumulated depreciation or amortisation is recognised immediately in surplus or deficit. Any reversal of an impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation increase Derecognition The carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment shall be derecognised: (a) (b) on disposal, or when no future economic benefits or service potential are expected from its use or disposal. 51

All other expenditure is expensed as incurred Amortisation Amortisation of intangible assets is recognised in the statement of financial performance on a straight line basis over the assets estimated useful lives as follows: Computer software 50% De-recognition The carrying amount of an item of intangible asset shall be derecognised: (a) (b) on disposal, or when no future economic benefits or service potential are expected from its use or disposal Gains or losses The gains and losses arising from the derecognition of intangible asset (difference between carrying amount less any revaluation surpluses and net disposal proceeds) are included in surplus or deficit Leases Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Council assumes, substantially, all the benefit and risks of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalized at the total value of the underlying lease payments and 52

53 Eastern Cape Provincial Arts & Culture Council Annual Financial Statements 3.10 Accounting Policies as at 31 March 2011 (continued) lease payments are allocated to the liability. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The difference between the amounts recognised as an expense and the contractual payments are recognised as an operating lease asset / liability. This asset / liability is not discounted. Contingent rentals are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred and are not included in the straight-line lease expense Prepayments Insurance, subscription and service contract payments covering periods exceeding one month are allocated to the period of the contract Inventory Inventory, which consists of arts and crafts designed from the use of ceramic, glass, beads, grass, pottery, wood and cloth, are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined based on the purchase price Financial instruments The council classifies financial assets and financial liabilities into the following categories: Financial assets: Loans and receivables Financial liabilities: at amortised cost Initial recognition and measurement Financial instruments are recognised initially when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. The entity classifies financial instruments, or their component parts, on initial recognition as a financial asset, a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Financial instruments are measured initially at fair value. For financial instruments which are not at fair value through surplus or deficit, transaction costs are included in the initial measurement of the instrument. Transaction costs on financial instruments at fair value through surplus or deficit are recognised in profit or loss Subsequent measurement Financial instruments at fair value through surplus or deficit are subsequently measured at fair value, with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value being included in surplus or deficit for the period. Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method, less 53

54 Eastern Cape Provincial Arts & Culture Council Annual Financial Statements 3.10 Accounting Policies as at 31 March 2011 (continued) accumulated impairment losses Impairment of financial assets At each end of the reporting period the entity assesses all financial assets, other than those at fair value through surplus or deficit, to determine whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets has been impaired. Impairment losses are recognised in surplus or deficit. Impairment losses are reversed when an increase in the financial asset s recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to the restriction that the carrying amount of the financial asset at the date that the impairment is reversed shall not exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not been recognised. Reversals of impairment losses are recognised in surplus or deficit except for equity investments classified as available for sale Gains and losses A gain or loss arising from a change in a financial asset or financial liability is recognised as follows: (a) (b) A gain or loss on a financial asset or financial liability classified as at fair value through surplus or deficit is recognised in surplus or deficit, and For financial assets and financial liabilities carried at amortised cost, a gain or loss is recognised in surplus or deficit when the financial asset or financial liability is derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process Derecognition Financial assets A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised where: (a) (b) (c) the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; the entity retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a pass-through arrangement; or the entity has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either- (i) (ii) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset. 54

55 Eastern Cape Provincial Arts & Culture Council Annual Financial Statements 3.10 Accounting Policies as at 31 March 2011 (continued) Where the entity has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognised to the extent of the entity s continuing involvement in the asset Financial liabilities A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in surplus or deficit Trade and other receivables Accounts receivable are classified as Loans and Receivables and are initially recognized at fair value. Subsequent measurement is at amortised value if material. An estimate is made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts at year end. Bad debts are written off during the year in which they are identified. Amounts that are receivable within 12 months from the reporting date are classified as current Trade and other payables Trade and other payables are classified as Liabilities at amortised cost and are initially recognized at the fair value of the present obligation of a past event. Subsequent measurement is at amortised value if material Administered fund liability Administered funds comprise of funds received/ held on behalf of third parties where ECPACC make payments on behalf of these third parties based on instructions from them. The unspent funds are classified as Financial liabilities at amortised cost. Subsequent measurement is at amortised value if material Cash and cash equivalent Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits and any short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These are initially and subsequently recorded at fair value Effective interest rate The entity uses the prime interest rate to discount future cash flows Provision and contingencies Provisions are recognized when: (a) (b) the council has a present obligation as a result of a past event; it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and 55

56 Eastern Cape Provincial Arts & Culture Council Annual Financial Statements 3.10 Accounting Policies as at 31 March 2011 (continued) (c) a reliable estimate can be made of the obligation. The amount of a provision is the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation. Where some or all of the expenditure require settling a provision is expected to be reimbursed by another party, the reimbursement shall be recognised when, and only when, it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received if the entity settles the obligation. The reimbursement shall be treated as a separate asset. The amount recognised for the reimbursement shall not exceed the amount of the provision. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. If an entity has a contract that is onerous, the present obligation under the contract shall be recognised and measured as a provision. A constructive obligation to restructure arises only when an entity has a detailed formal plan for the restructuring, identifying at least:: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) The business or part of a business concerned; The principal locations affected; The location, function, and appropriate number of employees who will be compensated for terminating their services; The expenditures that will be undertaken; and When the plan will be implemented Government grants Government grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that: (a) (b) The council will comply with the conditions attaching to them; and The grants will be received. Government grants are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs that they are intended to compensate. A government grant that becomes receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the entity with no future related costs is recognised as income of the period in which it becomes receivable. Government grants related to assets, including non-monetary grants at fair value, are presented in the statement of financial position by setting up the grant as Unspent conditional grant or by deducting the grant in arriving at the carrying amount of the asset. Grants related to income are presented as a credit in the statement of financial performance (separately). Repayment of a grant related to income is applied first against any un-amortised deferred credit set up in respect of the grant. To the extent that the repayment exceeds any such deferred credit, or where no deferred credit exists, the repayment is recognised immediately as an expense. 56

57 Eastern Cape Provincial Arts & Culture Council Annual Financial Statements 3.10 Accounting Policies as at 31 March 2011 (continued) Repayment of a grant related to an asset is recorded by increasing the carrying amount of the asset or reducing the Unspent conditional grant balance by the amount repayable. The cumulative additional depreciation that would have been recognised to date as an expense in the absence of the grant is recognised immediately as an expense Accruals Date of receipt of goods or services is recognized as date of accrual. All accruals are recognized at financial year-end Budget process The budget is prepared annually in accordance with the provisions of the Public Finance Management Act 1999 (No.1 of 1999), directives issued by the executive authority and best practice budgeting practice. Budget virements may only be performed within the levels specified by approved delegation of authority. Unbudgeted expenditure is subject to Council approval which will only be granted in extraordinary circumstances Unspent Conditional grant Initial recognition Unutilised conditional grants are reflected on the Statement of Financial Position as Unspent Conditional grant. They represent unspent government grants. The following conditions are set for the creation and utilisation of these payables: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) The grant received are initially recognised as cost as Unspent conditional grant. Whenever an item of property, plant and equipment is funded from a Grant, an amount equal to the purchase price is transferred from the Unspent conditional grant account to the operating account on the Statement of Financial Performance as revenue. Whenever operational expenditure is funded from a grant an amount equal to the expenditure is transferred from the Unspent conditional grant account grant to the operating account on the Statement of Financial Performance as revenue to offset the expenditure which was expensed through the operating account. The cash which backs the unspent portion is invested until utilised. Interest earned on the investment is treated in accordance with grant conditions. If the grant conditions indicate that interest is payable to donors then interest earned on unutilised conditional grants is allocated to the funds and is not recognised in the Statement of Financial Performance. The unspent grant is classified as Financial liabilities at amortised cost Subsequent measurement Unspent conditional grant are subsequently measured at amortised cost if material Derecognition Unspent conditional grant are derecognised when the balance was expended per the conditions as set for a grant. 57
