PURPOSE This document sets out the procedures to be followed to establish the annual budget and to monitor actual performance against that budget. 3. CO-ORDINATION AND CONTROL 3.1. Budgetary control integrates budgets for various Directorates within SAQA and each Directorate must individually recognise the overall objectives from their plans Each year the Director: Finance and Administration must require that the Director of each budget centre submits their programmes and activities assumptions To help in this task, the Director: Finance and Administration must provide each Directorate with a budget preparation guide and the required templates, which documents the roles and responsibilities of all Directorates within the budgetary process. 4. PROCEDURES 4.1. The two essential elements of the budget are: The financial assumptions; and The programmes and activities assumptions. The budget will be produced by applying the one set of assumptions to the other. 3

10 4.2. The financial assumptions will include the following: The rate of inflation; The rate of increase in remuneration; The rate of increase in air fares; The rate of increase in travel reimbursement rates; The charges to be made to generate revenue; and The revenue to be made available by Government and other funders The Director: Finance and Administration is responsible for submitting the proposed assumptions to the Chief Executive Officer and then to the Finance Committee for approval The process for establishing the programme and activity assumptions is as follows: The Executive Office is responsible for submitting the detailed strategic goals and objectives and the Annual Performance Plan (APP) for the year to the Board for approval. These goals and objectives and APP must be in accordance with the rolling fiveyear Business Plan, which incorporates the Strategic Plan, previously approved by the Board; Each Director is responsible for setting his/her strategic goals and objectives for the year, which will enable the goals and objectives 4

11 of the organisation, as a whole, to be achieved. These must be approved by the Chief Executive Officer Each Director is then responsible for defining the programmes and activities necessary to achieve the goals and objectives. This definition must include details of resources required. These details will include requirements for: Number and level of staff; Assets; Meetings, giving details of numbers of persons, from where they come and their travel and subsistence requirements; Support, e.g. telephones, printing and postage; and Contractors and consultants. 4.5 The Director: Finance and Administration is responsible for applying the financial assumptions to the programmes and activities assumptions in order to produce the final budget figures. 4.6 The final budget must be a balanced budget where revenue equals expenditure. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for agreeing to adjustments to Directorate budget proposals in order to achieve this situation, before the final proposed budget is submitted to the Finance Committee for approval. 4.7 Each Director must break down his/her finally approved budget into months, depending on the expected timing of income and expenditure flows. 5
