**An amount of R1,561,562 was reflected as bad debts in our 2009 accounts. This is not necessarily a write-off of debts but rather a prudent provision for bad or potentially bad or doubtful debts. Before taking any legal action the school makes every effort to collect the debt or make payment arrangements with non-payers. We also act strictly in accordance with the relevant provisions of the S.A.Schools Act. All debt collection is handled in-house including all the necessary legal work. Non-paying parents will be blacklisted. We have recently implemented the NAEDO debit order system in order to reduce the level of unpaid debit orders. DEBTOR COLLECTIONS

Exemptions

Resolution: Investment of Surplus Funds In order to do this the School requires a resolution of parents in a general meeting. It is anticipated that the school will generate surplus funds this year and it is imperative that we invest these funds in order to increase our income. After discussions with Absa Bank the School Governing Body recommends that the funds be invested in a Fixed Deposit account for a period not exceeding six months at an interest rate of 7% p.a. The interest rate and capital invested are both guaranteed. At the end of the initial period the position will be reviewed in the light of our then financial position.  Permission can then be obtained from the GDE to go ahead with the investment in a second bank account.

PROPOSAL Funds be invested in an appropriate ABSA account for a period not exceeding six months with guaranteed capital. PROPOSED: SGB SECONDED: TRAGGY MAEPA

Questions Exemptions: What docs are looked at? School fees: additional amount for books - is this included? What has materialised in recovering bad debts? Any bad debt written off? (Provision was made in 2009 for 2009 accounts)
