EXPENDITURE TREND ANALYSIS Standard Items Compensation of Employees Goods and Services Opening Budget 71 537 27 311 Actual Expenditure Sep-14 26 563 7 639 Dec-14 40 502 13 920 Jan-15 44 356 14 161 Increase Spending since Sep 2014 17 793 (67%) 6 522 (85%) Total Expenditure Closing Balance 27 181 13 150
Paragraph 10.2 Few measures implemented: Monthly reporting by Chief Directors on spending including reasons for over/under-spending. Procurement and Spending Plans to be submitted monthly going forward. Funds to be redistributed by Budget Committee (newly established) to areas where spending can take place. Special programmes initiated like Communication Strategy introducing CSP to public of South Africa. Implementation of own systems and Virtual Private Network in advanced stage which would increase spending. 4/11/2019
Paragraph 10.4 Financial Structures and Accountability in place. Funds transfer and expenditure claim from SAPS to be finalised in January 2015. Transfer of personnel to happen in February 2015 for 1 March 2015. All BAS and PERSAL structures in place to do salary and other payments. Most financial policies signed outstanding policies and delegations to be signed-off before end of January 2015. Fortnightly meetings between CSP and SAPS on progress of transfer of functions. Negotiations ongoing with Treasury to have LOGIS ready for implementation 1 March/1 April 2015. 4/11/2019
POSSIBLE TRANSACTIONS TO GO THROUGH BEFORE END OF FINANCIAL YEAR Once the following payments have gone through, projection of 99.7% will be achieved at the end of this financial year An order generated for the full SITA service of over R17,0 million. This could boost goods and services expenditure if all expenditure realizes. The Administration Programme is ready to start functioning on its own separate from SAPS which would increase its spending even further as it would be responsible for generic departmental related expenditure eg: computer time for transversal systems, internet access, telephones (dependent on the switchboard) and other related expenditure.
POSSIBLE TRANSACTIONS TO GO THROUGH BEFORE END OF FINANCIAL YEAR Compensation of Employees is at 58,4% spending overall and the main reason is the fact that the level 9 and 11 posts are budgeted for on level 10 and 12 respectively. This will increase by R10,5 million (15.1%) with the retrospective payment of upgraded posts in line with Resolution 1 of 2012. If the goods and services spending is as high as anticipated all savings on Compensation of employees will have to be viremented to goods and services. 4/11/2019
