Notes to Budgeted Income Statement
Total revenue
Sources of revenue
Levy income;
Contributions from the Departments of Education (DoEs); and
Investments Income.
Reasons for total increase in revenue:
There has been increasing trend in actual revenues received per the audited financial statements for the 3 years ending 31st March 2016;
Levy income is expected to increase year on year due to anticipated inflationary increases of the salary bills of employers;
The increase in the contributions of the provincial DoEs from 10% to 30% of their training budgets; and
Investment income is increasing because of the slow movement of the implementation of projects, resulting in low expenditure, more commitments and an increase in cash reserves which attract interest.

18. Administration expenses; Mandatory grant expenses; and
Notes to Budgeted Income Statement
Total expenditure
Types of expenditure:
Administration expenses;
Mandatory grant expenses; and
Discretionary grant expenses.
Expenditure trends:
There has been increasing trend in actual expenditure in the administration and discretionary grant expenses per the audited financial statements for the 3 years ending 31st March 2016;
This was expected as the SETA budgeted revenue was also expected to increase;
Although there was a decrease in the mandatory grant expenses in the 2014/15 and 2015/16 financial years, the expectation is that this expense will increase in future due to considerable efforts in educating employers to submit WSPs.
