14

CONTINUED…

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

TOTAL ASSSETS – Total assets decreased by R376m when compared to 2007/8 financial year. Key contributor is the decrease in cash and cash equivalents of R367m due to UYF only receiving R5m during the under review.

TOTAL LIABILITIES – Total liabilities have decreased by R180m which is accounted for mainly by increase in project disbursements.

RESERVES – Reserves decreased by R177m due to projects being funded out of reserves as deferred grant is fully committed.

15

NATIONAL YOUTH COMMISSION 2008/9 ANNUAL REPORT

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

Based on the audit report there AGSA could not express an opinion on the performance information as reported in the annual report. Some of the factors that influence the basis of his disclaimer are;

lack of source documents to support performance information reported;

Lack of effect, efficient and transparent systems and internal controls regarding performance management; and

Legislative non compliance relating to performance reporting

16

CONTINUED…

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Auditor General also expressed a disclaimer of the financial statements of the NYC due limitation of scope as a result of mainly lack of supporting documentation to substantiate some of the transaction recorded NYC’s accounting systems. The fact that supporting documentation could be provided these transactions could be perceived as fraudulent justifying a forensic audit. Again records did not permit the use of alternative audit procedures. Key factors that resulted in disclaimer by Auditor General are as follows;

Expenses totaling R4,5m could not be audited due to that lack of supporting documentation; Donor funding revenue amounting to R2.8m could not be audited again due to lack of supporting documentation; Journals processed without supporting documentation; and Non compliance with accounting standards and legislation requirements;

17

CONTINUED…

Based of the above and other matters contained in the annual report as raised by the Auditor General is evident that the root cause could be the lack of continuous senior leadership, as well as generally weak internal control environment and ineffective oversight and governance.

The senior officials that presided during this period under review were invited to the committee meeting however at the time of writing there was not indication as to whether they will attend the meeting.

The NYDA as part of the merger process adopted mainly the processes procedures and systems of the former UYF is it believed such were sound to built from as they establish the NYDA.

18

CONTINUED…

The Agency should negotiate with the Presidency for more funds as the current budget is insufficient.

–Discussions between the Agency and the NYDA have resumed, this was also reflected in the Minister Chabane’s budget vote.

– Furthermore, the NYDA is engaging Provincial Governments to support NYDA activities. This matter will also be tabled at the next Presidential Co-odinating Council Seating

19

CONTINUED…
