3 Recap – Root causes for non-payment by clients Previously, no binding agreements between DPW and client Departments (SLA’s) Minimal enforcement of GIAMA by DPW re: UAMPs as bidding process documents with National Treasury for client departments’ budget allocations Lack of capacity within client departments for compilation of UAMPs PMTE not yet in position to provide itemised bills to clients PMTE only bills clients on basis of devolved budgets Due to above, clients resistant to pay as AGSA raises findings with payments made not supported by detailed itemised bills 3

4 Recap on prior year’s engagement Service Level Agreement (SLA) was developed as the preferred form of agreement to bind User Departments and DPW in terms of agreed Service Delivery Standards. Service Delivery Standards were developed Both the SLA and the SDS documents meant to entrench the delivery of accommodation services according to agreed turnaround times, performance measures and business processes. 4

5 Progress re: Conclusion of SLAs with clients 2012/13 DEPARTMENTSENTITIESCOMMITTEETOTAL Users: 3317151 SLA’s signed: 218023 SLA’s not signed: 115023 * SLA’s not required : 1415 Level of compliance :64%47%0%45% 5 * Note: a number of national departments and entities currently do not require SLA’s for a variety of reasons (e.g. where services are rendered through the parent department, where they are co-located in premises with other departments).

6 6 PMTE Current Operating Model

7  PMTE = Trading entity/account of the NDPW since 2006 but never operationalised  Trades under the control of the Department  The Accounting Officer (AO) of the NDPW = AO of the PMTE  Purpose for the formation of the PMTE: Ring fencing of revenues and expenditures (and related balance sheet items) relating to the property management function (including construction and maintenance) of the Department  Main benefit - Any revenue generated may be retained by PMTE to run itself if declared to National Treasury and approved. (TR 19.7.1. – National Treasury may not approve and require the PMTE to re deposit in Exchequer account). If remain in Department any revenue generated would be surrended  Incentive therefore to perform better  Ultimate goal to be self sustaining: the PMTE recovers its cost from the revenue it generates from clients rather than from the allocation from DPW (Treasury).  Reality – this is a long way off  Why? Unable to effectively/accurately determine cost recovery of PMTE  Incomplete and inaccurate records relating to which clients occupy which of our state owned and privately leased premises (i.e. square meters occupied etc)  Outdated /manual matching of expense recoveries (risk of under recoveries)  Lack of proper systems for recording invoices issued – manual MS excel system 7

8  Currently mismatch between the fact that the revenue and expenditure from the Departments property management function is accounted for in the PMTE’s financial records but the:  Immoveable Assets (Buildings and land) that generate part of this revenue, and for which the expenditure is incurred, is accounted for in the Department’s financial records.  Capital expenditure – not capitalised – no proper record of asset value  Capital budget with client departments but assets within DPW  An interim business case for the PMTE was approved by DG at end of March 2013 effectively transferring the property management functions (and related business units) from DPW to the PMTE effective 1 April 2013 (next financial year)  This means that the Immoveable assets etc will only be accounted for by the PMTE in the 2013/14 financial year  The functions and related staff etc will also only move in the 2013/14 year  PMTE required to prepare AFS on GRAP as opposed to modified cash basis  Challenge is convert accounts from modified cash basis to GRAP  Extensive manual process to perform the conversion 8

9 9 PMTE Current Operating Model Result Running high bank overdraft Execute now and recover late Cashflow timing difference – only invoice client after we have paid – about 60 days delay

10 10 PMTE Current Operating Model – Bank Overdraft The bank overdraft is due to the “recoverable” business model being used by the PMTE (Debtors) At lease R 800 m of the overdraft can be accounted for by the time difference between payment to the supplier and receiving of funds from the Client The balance of the overdraft is due to older outstanding debt and has improved over the last three financial years

11 11 Source systems WCS PMIS ie Works BAS Cash based system Cash TB payments invoices debtors Manually on Excel spreadsheets Prepare Journals based on spreadsheets and capture on Caseware CASE WARE AFS

12  Migration to accrual based accounting  Compliance with GRAP requirements  Automation of the billing process and possibly also certain future PMTE business processes to enhance operational efficiencies  Operationalisation of the PMTE as a standalone business entity  Current systems not integrated across the business  Extensive, Legacy Data Quality issues (System and manual) 12

26 SAPS ANALYSIS 95% of the outstanding debt is current and recoverable. Meeting will be scheduled with the client to resolve the R12m outstanding under leases for previous years. This client is paying regularly and recoverability is not an issue 26

27  Private leases (Lease out)  Reconciling paid amounts (expense side) to amount claimed back from client  Develop new standard contract and roll out to ensure all clients have contract (per property or per client)  Accounts receivable  Complete "reconstruction" exercise (Step 2-5 per plan)  Drive and manage collections  Drive and manage actual "write off" process of all debt (post impairment done)  Revenue and billing (2013/2014)  Implementing new billing and accounting system  Revenue and billing (2014/2015)  Cost recovery model (update one already developed)  Can be done only when IAR and lease verification projects complete 27

28 28 Reconstruction of Private Leases StageReconstructions stages 1Verified invoices, credit notes and payments received to supporting documents Payments received verified to BAS (2006 to date) 2Reconciled what was invoiced to the expense paid in PMIS 3Matching unallocated receipts to invoices 4Verifying invoiced amounts to leased agreements (taking Lease verification project findings into account) 5Client meetings to obtain agreement to amounts owed. Assisting with preparing submissions to National Treasury for collection of prior year funds

29  Clearing "payable: Advance Account  Purpose of account to record money paid in advance by client departments for lease rentals, municipal charges but also includes a large portion of unallocated receipts. Needs to be investigated and cleared out (difficult as clients pay single amount to cover multiple debts)  Need to engage National Treasury  Operating model of PMTE – bank overdraft (PMTE pays suppliers and only recovers the costs from client departments after 60 days  Revisit the Devolution of Budgets matter 29
