<strong>Business</strong> <strong>Case</strong> for the <strong>Pongola</strong>-<strong>Umzimkulu</strong> <strong>Catchment</strong> <strong>Management</strong> Agency<br />
<br />
<br />
Risk is shifted to the CMA in its entirety, with the CMA fully accountable for<br />
fiduciary management and corporate governance. The business plan serves as<br />
the framework for audit and DWA oversight;<br />
DWA will remain responsible for financial support necessary to make the CMA<br />
financially viable where reasonable costs of the CMA cannot be covered by water<br />
resource management charges.<br />
9.4 Financial analysis<br />
The financial analysis presented below is based on a financial model for the CMA for the 5<br />
years 2013/14 to 2018/19. It is based on calculated expenditure, differentiating salary,<br />
overheads, outsourcing and capital repayment costs, with recovery through a combination<br />
of water use charges and financial support. It takes account of a number of issues, including<br />
possible non-payment by some users.<br />
9.4.1 CMA Expenditure<br />
Based on the assumption that the <strong>Pongola</strong>-<strong>Umzimkulu</strong>CMA would be fully functional after 6<br />
years 18 , Table 4presents the possible increase in costs over the six years with 6% inflation<br />
per annum. When the CMA is fully function, expenditure will be approximately R 84 million<br />
per annum.<br />
