Challenges in reporting on public entities
• System for verification of data
– Data provided by public entities (either to their relevant executive authorities or NT)
is not on the Basic Accounting System (BAS) and thus cannot be verified
• They do not have budget programme structures like a department that are approved
by the relevant treasury and hence:
– their ‘programmes’ are not necessarily linked to deliverable objectives
– their spending is only in economic classification terms
• Accounting standards: departments use a modified cash basis vs. accrual accounting
for public entities
– The main difference between accrual and cash basis accounting lies in the timing of
when revenue and expenses are recognised
– The cash method accounts for revenue only when the money is received and for
expenses only when the money is paid out VS in accrual accounting where
revenue/expenditure is recorded even if the cash has not yet been received/paid
4
Challenges in reporting on public entities (2)
– In accrual accounting, when you purchase a long-lived asset, such as a vehicle, a
building or a computer, you don't immediately write off the full cost as an expense.
Rather, you spread the cost over the expected life of the asset, an accounting
procedure known as depreciation
– In relation to capital expenditure in public entities, only the portion of funds that will
be spent is recognised as expenditure, the rest is accounted for on the balance sheet
as deferred income
• Number and type of public entities do not enable a comparative analysis (Service
delivery agencies, Regulators, Development Finance Institutions, Social Security
Funds)
• Different financial years – e.g. water boards operate on the municipal financial year
from July to June (not on the April to March financial year)

Compensation Fund
• The Fund generates its revenue from an assessment levy on employers. The Fund received
R3.1 billion more than projected in quarter 2 due to increased compliance by employers.
• The largest spending item to stakeholders is cash paid to households for COIDA
(Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act) claims:
– claims paid amounted to R 2 billion which is R2.5 billion less than forecasted due to
system interface challenges between the Umehluko system and the SAP system
• Slow spending on goods and services is due to delays with the procurement of the caseware
software licenses; procurement of office furniture and equipment by the Fund at provincial
offices and delays with phase 2 of the Fund’s filing project due to the lack of SAP capacity
• Cash flow from investing activities was R4.26 billion, which is R4.35 billion more than
forecasted as the Fund did not anticipate to collect more than the projected assessment
levies which was invested
• Cash available at the end of the quarter amounted to R3.7 billion

• At the end of quarter 2, transfers received amounted to R897.2 million, but the entity
also realised income from other receipts, mainly interest on bank reserves
(R11.3 million)
• Expenditure on compensation of employees amounted to R751.3 million against a
projection of R754.2 million. Lower than planned spending of R2.9 million is largely the
result of vacancies (natural attrition)
• Higher than planned spending occurred on goods and services (R150.4 million vs.
projection of R148.3 million), and is due to insurance renewals planned for Q1 that
could only be finalised in Q2
• Expenditure on buildings and other fixed structures and machinery and equipment
amounted to R2 million and R3.6 million, against projections of R5.6 million and
R4.3 million, respectively. Lower than planned spending is attributable to delays
experienced in procurement of an office building and replacement of motor vehicles
(offer to purchase building in Port Elizabeth not yet accepted by seller and local offices
still finalising specifications of required vehicles)

• The NEF derives its revenue primarily from interest received transfer from the
Department of Trade and Industry.
• Expected revenue for the year amounts to R435 million, of which 50 per cent was
expected within the period under review.
• Actual revenue for Q2 was below projections by R105.9 million, this was mainly due to
lower cash disbursement. Most of the cash flow items are interlinked. Disbursement
affects interest earned on investment, repayment of loans and closing balance of cash
and cash equivalent.
• Due to low disbursement activities in Q1 & Q2 than planned, interest income
investments was negatively affected. However, closing balance of cash and cash
equivalent remained high due low disbursements made (cash outflow).
• Negative net cash from operations was caused by repayment of creditors an amount of
R109.6 million. Payments were for accruals and current invoices received.
• Spending on compensation of employees was higher than projected while for goods
and services, it was lower

• NHLS’s cash balance increased from R1.1 billion, the closing cash balance for first quarter of
2018/19, to R2.4 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2018/19. This was mainly due to
– Higher than anticipated receipts from provinces for payment towards historical debt (it is noted that
R1,5 billion has been received for this). A total of R4,9 billion was received (Cash receipts from
stakeholders) by the end of the second quarter of 2018/19 compared to R4,0 billion forecast for the
same period
• Important to note total cash at the end of the second quarter of 2018/19 (R2.4 billion) only equates to
4 months of NHLS’s monthly cash requirement (i.e. average monthly expenditure in 2017/18 equated
to R586.9 million). Provinces will need to ensure that invoices are settled promptly so that NHLS
operations remain unaffected
• A total of R3,5 billion or 94,5% (cash payment to stakeholders), of which R1,9 billion was on goods
and services and R1,6 billion on compensation of employees, was spent against the revised forecast
of R3,7 billion. The variance of R218,9 million or 5,5% was mainly due to:
– Goods and services; R54,6 million lower than forecast of R2,0 billion as a result of procurement
delays. There is currently a shortage of staff in the Supply Chain Management unit. However,
spending is expected to increase in the fourth quarter once posts are filled
– Compensation of employees spent R166 million lower than the projected forecast of R1,8 billion
mainly due to vacancies that were not filled due to operational budget constraints
• A settlement agreement of R1.2 billion was reached with Gauteng Provincial Department of Health on
outstanding debt. It should be noted that the R1.2 billion will flow to the entity over 2 years in 3
instalments

• NRF’s main source of revenue consists of the transfer payment from the Department of Science and
Technology, unclassified revenue as a source of other income and sale of other goods and services.
Unclassified revenue refers to:
Contract income – represents formal contracts with the Department of Science and Technology,
other government departments and organisations; and
Other income – interest received on funds invested and trading income for non-core business
activities.
• In the second quarter of 2018/19 NRF’S receipts amounted to R2.9 billion which was R913.8 million
more than expected
• Goods and services at the end of the second quarter amounted to R1.8 billion or 56.8 per cent of the
approved budget and was R263.1 million more than projected. This was due to higher uptake on
grants and bursaries awarded to university students which was higher than originally anticipated. This
will be offset by a decline in bursary uptake during quarter four
• Cash available at the beginning of the second quarter amounted to R462.0 million as projected while
cash available at the end of the second quarter was R767.4 million more than expected
• Net cash flow from investing activities was R107.4 million which was R50.1 million less than projecteddue to reduced spending plans on buildings and fixed structures, and other fixed assets

National Skills Fund
• The entity receives income primarily from the skills development levy, with other
revenue generated from interest on investments
• Expenditure for compensation of employees in the second quarter is lower than
projected by R17.7 million due to vacant posts that were not filled as projected
• Expenditure on transfers and subsidies to higher education institutions was lower than
projected by R1.1 billion due to tender delays in the construction of nine new Technical
and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) college campuses across the country,
as well as delays in the rolling out of the Centres of Specialisation Programmes at
TVET Colleges. Most of the contracts have been finalised and spending is expected to
commence in the third quarter of 2018/19
• The cash at the end of the second quarter of 2018/19 amounted to R47.6 million
against a forecast of R76.3 million, reflecting a variance of R28.7 million. The lower than
projected cash at the end of the quarter is due to grant disbursements that were made
towards the end of the second quarter instead of quarter three

National Student Financial Aid Scheme
• The entity’s total cash receipts from stakeholders amount to R21.5 billion in the second
quarter of 2018/19.
• Expenditure for goods and services amounted to R77.3 million, reflecting overspending by
R27.7 million mainly due:
– Overspending on debt collection commission
– Overspending on travel and subsistence due to staff being deployed to all institutions to
assist with the close-off of the funding for the 2016 and 2017 academic years, assist
students with sBux queries and user assistance, outreach initiatives conducted by the
Marketing and Communications unit to promote the signing of Non-Bursary Agreements
(NBA’s), funding awareness and the 2019 applications process. This also includes
additional costs incurred in the deployment of staff, since the start of September 2018, to
the NYDA offices to assist the interns employed at these offices with 2019 applications
• Transfers and subsidies overspent by R780.7 million mainly due to the payment of bursaries
and student allowances. The appointment of the NSFAS Administrator assisted with the
speedy resolution of current year funding backlogs as the system capacity and data
integration issues with institutions were resolved allowing the entity to disburse funding faster
20
• Net cash flow from operations underspent by R1.9 billion due to a change in
classification of expenditure as a result of the fee free higher education announcement.
Bursaries are classified as expenditure from operations reflected under transfers and
subsidies whereas the loan portions of the previous funding model was classified as
advancing activities due to their recoverable nature. The announcement meant that only
first time entering students from the 2018 academic year would receive full bursaries
whereas students who entered higher education in prior years would still receive a loan
which is convertible partly into a bursary based on their academic results in 2018. This
was not initially clear at the budget planning stage
• Cash at the end of the second quarter amounted to R8.6 billion, which is R4.9 billion
higher than projected as the NSFAS had planned to disburse the unspent funding of the
prior year backlog and includes the multi-year memoranda of understanding (MOU)
from other funders who provide upfront funding

• The transfer payment from the Department of Social Development is SASSA’s main source of revenue. Total cash
receipts for 2018/19 is R7.8 billion
• A total of R3.8 billion was received (Cash receipts from stakeholders) in the second quarter of 2018/19, which is
R100 million lower when compared to the forecast of R3.9 billion at the beginning of the quarter. The lower revenue
is mainly due to the misalignment between the initial forecast populated by SASSA for National Treasury’s quarterly
reporting purposes and the forecast schedule sent to the National department to facilitate transfer payments each
month. This has had a carry through effect from quarter one
• A total of R2.8 billion was paid (Cash payments to stakeholders) in the second quarter of 2018/19, which is
R1.1 million lower when compared to the forecast of R3.9 billion at the beginning of the quarter. The lower payment
is mainly due to delays in the finalisation of the agreement between SASSA and SAPO regarding the payment
contractor fee along with delays in paying of CPS. Pending payments to both stakeholders are expected to be
settled in Quarter three
• During the second quarter of 2018/19 R13.3 million was spent on machinery and equipment which is R2.1 million
less when compared to the forecast of R15.4 million at the beginning of the quarter. The low spending is mainly
due to delays in the procurement processes and receiving of invoices relating to the 2018/19 financial year
• To assist SAPO prepare for the takeover of grant payment, an advance payment of R541 million was made to
SAPO
• SASSA’s cash balance at the beginning of the quarter amounts to R509.2 million and at the end of the quarter
amounts to R890 million resulting in a variance of R380.8 million due to the lower than expected payments made
during the quarter as mentioned above
• The agency is encouraged to monitor its spending on non-core items in order to compensate for other potential
pressures that may arise during the year. According to the IYM submitted by SASSA as at June 2018, SASSA has
sufficient current assets to cover its current liabilities approximately 3 times

South African Tourism
• SAT primarily derives income from transfers made by government, interest on investment, grading
income, and sundry income (income from exhibitions such as for instance INDABA and Meetings
Africa)
• Revenue from these sources is projected at R1.4 billion for 2018/19, with R1.1 billion expected
within the second quarter. Actual revenue for the period under review is lower by R19.3 million
due to lower sales of goods and services
• Department of Tourism has transferred R1 billion or 85.7 per cent of the R1.2 billion allocation for
2018/19 to SAT. Transfers constitute 88.6 per cent of the total cash receipts from stakeholders
• At the beginning of the second quarter, the entity opened with a cash balance of R642 million,
which increased by R466.7 million, bringing the closing cash balance by end of the second quarter
to R1.1 billion. The increase is due to the upfront payment of the transfer payment. The entity
receives a significant amount of their funds upfront to avoid forex uncertainty
• Expenditure for goods and services amounted to R604.4 million, which is 0.7 per cent or
R4.2 million lower than projected. This is mainly attributed to underspending due to efficiency
savings. Spending towards goods and services is primarily driven by international and domestic
marketing activities undertaken to fulfill mandate, grading expense, foreign and exchange loss and
administrative expenditure (legal fees, IT support and licensing fees)

Unemployment Insurance Fund
• The Fund generates its revenue from a specific purpose tax on employers and
employees of equal contribution of 1 per cent on pay and from interest on investments
• The largest spending item is cash paid to beneficiaries for UIF benefits:
– Benefits paid amounted to R5.5 billion which is R1.4 billion less than forecasted dueto delays in implementing the amended benefits promulgated in January 2017
• The slow spending on goods and services is due to the implementation of strict cost
containment measures
• Cash flow from investing activities was R11.5 billion more than expected due to the
fund not budgeting or forecasting for this item, as well as the sale of investment
instruments such as shares
• Cash available at the end of the quarter amounted to R2.7 billion, which is
R458.9 million more than forecasted due to slower spending on current payments and
benefits paid
