Lungisa Fuzile Michael Sass Director-General Accountant-General Accounting Officer National Treasury | CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |National Departments, the National Revenue Fund, State Debt and Loan Accounts 2 ACCOUNTING OFFICER S REVIEW For the year ended 31 March 2014 1.

6 Mandate Section 8(1) (a) of the Public Finance Management Act, 1999 (Act No. 1 of 1999) (PFMA), requires that the National Treasury (NT) prepares and table the CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CFS) in accordance with generally recognised accounting practice (grap) for: i) National departments; ii) Public entities under the ownership control of the national executive; iii) Constitutional institutions; iv) The South African Reserve Bank; v) The Auditor-General; and vi) Parliament. The mandatory CFS for government for the year ended 31 March 2014 as required by section 8(1) (a) of the PFMA as amended is hereby presented.

7 The Minister of Finance granted exemption in terms of Section 92 of the PFMA to the National Treasury from the provisions of section 8(1) of the PFMA to the extent that it requires preparing one set of CONSOLIDATED AFS for national departments and public entities. Due to the significantly different accounting bases being applied (modified cash and accrual), the Minister has allowed the National Treasury to prepare separate sets of CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for departments and public entities respectively. National departments and public entities have been subjected to either a full audit or agreed upon procedures by the Auditor General of South Africa (AGSA) in previous years.

8 This year the CFS have been prepared for both the national departments and public entities and submitted for audit ensuring compliance with the principles of GRAP 6 on CONSOLIDATED and Separate FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the 2014 FINANCIAL year. Besides being mandated by legislation, CFS is meant to provide a summary of national government s FINANCIAL resources and their application for the benefit of the people of the Republic of South Africa. Due to different accounting bases being used by national departments and public entities, separate sets of CONSOLIDATED information are prepared and published as such in this report to ensure credible and meaningful presentation of FINANCIAL information.

9 National departments report on a modified cash basis of accounting whereas public entities are on accrual basis. Public entities include constitutional institutions, national public entities listed in the PFMA, the South African Reserve Bank and the AGSA. The public entities that are CONSOLIDATED also include unlisted public entities that are accountable to parliament. On a drive to improve public accountability, National Treasury is facilitating the transition from reporting on the modified cash basis of accounting to reporting on the accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified cash basis of accounting, transactions and other events are recognised when cash is received or paid, while disclosure notes, which are recognised on accrual basis, are provided in the annual FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (AFS) such as provisions, accruals, property plant and equipment (PPE), public private partnership (PPP), lease commitments, contingent liabilities and so on.

10 Under the accrual basis of accounting, transactions and other events are recognised when earned or incurred and not when cash is received or paid. Prior to 2013/14 FINANCIAL , the departments accounting framework was set out in the Departmental FINANCIAL Reporting Framework Guide (DFRFG) which was prepared updated and published by the OAG on annual basis. The reporting framework comprised of accounting policies for the recognition and measurement of information in the primary STATEMENTS and the disclosure notes. It also contained the format or the template for the presentation of information in the primary STATEMENTS , as well as the disclosure notes.
