It is the responsibility of the Accounting Officer to ensure that the annual financial statements present fairly the state of affairs of the municipality at the end of the financial year and the results of its operations and cash flows for the period then ended. The Accounting Officer recognizes that he is ultimately responsible for the internal financial control system established by the municipality and attaches considerable importance to maintaining a strong control environment. The audit committee is satisfied with the content and quality of the monthly and quarterly reports prepared and issued by the Accounting Officer of the Municipality during the year under review.

The audit committee is satisfied that the internal audit function is working effectively and that it has addressed the risks associated with the municipality and its audits. The external audit used internal audit reports for risk identification purposes but did not rely on the internal audit reports. The municipality is engaged in the provision of municipal services under the Municipal Systems Act No. 32 of 2000 (MSA) and the Municipal Financial Management Act No. 56 of 2003 and operates mainly in South Africa. The accountant discusses management's responsibilities in this regard, at management meetings, and continuously monitors the municipality's compliance with the code.

The municipality has its own internal audit function. This is in accordance with the Municipal Financial Management Act, 2003. The Auditor-General of South Africa (AGSA) will continue to audit the municipality's financial affairs for the foreseeable future.

Statement of Comparison of Budget and Actual Amounts

The deviation is the result of an increase in the number of registrations and renewals of motor vehicles. The deviation was mainly the result of maintaining positive balances on bank accounts. Inventory : Variance is due to high inventory utilization during the year and adjustment of obsolete inventory.

Consumer debtors: The deviation was due to data cleaning and write-off of debtors in the financial year. This is due to the revision of the useful life of the landfills and thus increased provisions. The difference is due to Equitable Share and the MIG subsidy, which was withheld during the year.

This is due to the upward adjustment of the salaries of all employees in the year under review. The difference is caused by the slow spending of MIG subsidies in the year under review.

If the fair value of the item acquired was not determinable, the assumed cost is the book value of the asset(s) disposed of. If a replacement cost is recognized in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. No impairment loss was recognized in the municipality's intangible assets at the reporting date.

The carrying amount of the asset is reduced directly OR using an allowance account. Upon derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the accounting value and the sum of the consideration received is recognized in profit or loss. Depreciation (amortization) is the systematic allocation of the depreciable value of an asset over its useful life.

Depreciation (amortization) is the systematic distribution of the depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life. If there is any such indicator, the municipality estimates the recoverable amount of the service of the asset. Value in use of non-cash-generating assets is the present value of the remaining service potential of non-cash-generating assets.

The present value of the remaining service potential of a non-cash-generating asset is determined as the depreciated replacement cost of the asset. The amount of a provision is the best estimate of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the current liability at the reporting date. Revenue from a non-exchange transaction is measured by the amount of the increase in net assets recognized by the municipality.

When a liability is subsequently reduced because the taxable event occurs or a condition is met, the amount of the reduction of the liability is recognized as revenue. Assets arising from fines are measured at the best estimate of the supply of resources to the municipality. Where the municipality collects fines as an agent, the fine will not be income for the collecting entity.

Revenue from unconditional grants is recognized when it is probable that economic benefits or service potential will flow to the municipality and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Gifts and donations, including goods in kind, are recognized as assets and income when it is probable that future economic benefits or service potential will flow to the municipality and the fair value of the assets can be measured reliably.
