PREMIER’S FOREWORDThis past financial year has seen <strong>the</strong> provincial governmentseeking to accelerate <strong>the</strong> pace <strong>of</strong> service delivery to ensurefulfillment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> electoral mandate <strong>of</strong> job creation and povertyalleviation.Premier Nomvula MokonyaneDuring this term <strong>of</strong> government, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> Provincial Government(GPG) created an estimated 200 000 short to long-term jobsin infrastructure development, property management, creativeindustries, tourism, safety and security, community developmentand healthcare. These include:• The implementation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> EPWP created over 128 000 short-termjobs, <strong>of</strong> which 1200 were for people with disabilities. A fur<strong>the</strong>r 30430 people with disabilities are employed in protective workshopsrun by government;• The GPG’s road construction and maintenance programmescreated over 6 000 jobs and social infrastructure developmentprojects created approximately 10 000 jobs;• A total <strong>of</strong> 3 474 jobs were created in performing propertymanagement functions, <strong>of</strong> which 494 were women, 1 011 youthand 139 people with disabilities;• Jobs were also created in <strong>the</strong> cultural industries, safety andsecurity, food security, agriculture and conservation, housing andhealth sectorsDespite <strong>the</strong> recent global economic meltdown, <strong>Gauteng</strong> continuesto be a dominant player in <strong>the</strong> economic development with varioussurveys showing areas <strong>of</strong> resilience. The recession has howeverreversed some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> gains made in <strong>the</strong> fight against joblessnesssince 1994. For example, <strong>the</strong> recent statistics by Stats SA show that<strong>the</strong> unemployment rate in <strong>Gauteng</strong> increased from 20.7% in 2008to 21.7% in <strong>the</strong> first quarter <strong>of</strong> 2009.The provincial government made strong efforts to tackle crime in amulti-disciplinary manner and inculcated a culture <strong>of</strong> none toleranceto crime amongst citizens.7


Our continued support for Crime Line and o<strong>the</strong>rprivate anti-crime initiatives have paid <strong>of</strong>f. We haveobserved that <strong>the</strong> quality <strong>of</strong> information from <strong>the</strong>public is starting to improve and this is a good signthat as a nation we are becoming intolerant <strong>of</strong> crimeand criminals. Since <strong>the</strong> campaign started in June2007, <strong>the</strong> police have been able to arrest hundreds<strong>of</strong> perpetratorsand recovered millions <strong>of</strong> rands worth<strong>of</strong> stolen goods, drugs and counterfeit property.Significant strides have indeed been registered over<strong>the</strong> past year particularly regarding widening accessto social services and enhanced public participation.Going forward, as we enter <strong>the</strong> new era <strong>of</strong>governance, <strong>the</strong> period <strong>of</strong> renewal, <strong>the</strong> period <strong>of</strong>hope, <strong>the</strong> period <strong>of</strong> accelerated change, and <strong>the</strong>period <strong>of</strong> heightened service delivery, we shall beguided in all our acts by <strong>the</strong> mandate given to us by<strong>the</strong> people. Kuyasheshwa!I wish to acknowledge <strong>the</strong> leadership <strong>of</strong> mypredecessor, Mr Paul Mashatile, for <strong>the</strong> sterlingleadership <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> department, <strong>the</strong> provincialadministration and for his service to <strong>the</strong> people <strong>of</strong><strong>Gauteng</strong>.We have ensured universal access to education.Already 60% <strong>of</strong> public schools in <strong>Gauteng</strong> are no feeschools. We will continue to intervene to ensure thatno child is excluded because parents are unable topay school fees.About 300 000 people are currently on antiretroviraltreatment as part <strong>of</strong> our comprehensive response toHIV and AIDS. We are also winning <strong>the</strong> fight againstTB. The TB cure rate in <strong>Gauteng</strong> has improved from58% in 2004 to 72.9% in 2008, which is <strong>the</strong> highestin <strong>the</strong> country. We continue to encourage our peopleto live healthy lifestyles.PREMIER NOMVULA MOKONYANE8


INTRODUCTION BY THEDIRECTOR GENERAL1.3.1 OverviewThe Office <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Premier fulfils a range <strong>of</strong> critical functions in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong>Provincial Government:• It acts as nerve-centre providing information to all points <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> GPG andfeeding information back to <strong>the</strong> centre.• It facilitates a wide range <strong>of</strong> functions, from gender empowerment toexecutive council processes.• It communicates continuously with <strong>the</strong> broader GPG community,constituencies and stakeholder using a wide range <strong>of</strong> communicationmethods, from print media to face-to-face interactions.MaLlele PeTjeDirector GeneralIn doing so, it seeks to achieve one primary aim, which is to support <strong>the</strong>Premier in her role as head <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Province.1.3.2 Outputs and OutcomesBased on <strong>the</strong> 2004 electoral mandate, <strong>the</strong> GPG developed a Five YearStrategic Programme with <strong>the</strong> aim <strong>of</strong> halving poverty and unemploymentwhich was based on 5 key pillars:• Enabling faster economic growth and job creation• Fighting poverty and building, safe, secure and sustainable communities• Developing healthy, skilled and productive people• Deepening democracy and realizing <strong>the</strong> constitutional rights <strong>of</strong> our people• Building an effective and caring governmentWith regard to <strong>the</strong> 2008/09 financial year, we are proud to report on somesignificant achievements again this year. Most notably <strong>the</strong>se include:• The launch <strong>of</strong> key institutions in support <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> City Region; <strong>the</strong>Global City Region Academy and <strong>the</strong> Global City Region Observatory.• The development <strong>of</strong> strategic frameworks for innovation and servicerevolution which have been duly handed over to <strong>the</strong> relevant linedepartment for fur<strong>the</strong>r action.• Continued efforts to co-ordinate GPG functions with regard to <strong>the</strong>empowerment <strong>of</strong> women, youth and people with disabilities. In addition,through <strong>the</strong> transfer <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> Youth Commission to <strong>the</strong> Office, thisyear we have trained a large number <strong>of</strong> young people in accordancewith <strong>the</strong> nationally identified scarce and critical skills and also conductedvast voter education to young people to ensure that democratic rights areentrenched in our society.• We have drafted a comprehensive End <strong>of</strong> Term Report which outlines ourachievements over <strong>the</strong> last five years and <strong>the</strong> foundation that we have laidfor <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> new five year programme <strong>of</strong> action.Given <strong>the</strong> changing nature <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> role, which by definition is dependenton <strong>the</strong> prevailing environment; <strong>the</strong> Office <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Premier is <strong>of</strong>ten subject9


to a great deal <strong>of</strong> change. In 2008/09 <strong>the</strong> Officeexperienced a change in both political andadministrative leadership and has begun <strong>the</strong> process<strong>of</strong> shifting to meet <strong>the</strong> challenges <strong>of</strong> a new mandateand five year plan <strong>of</strong> action.Through <strong>the</strong> 2008/09 financial year, all spheres<strong>of</strong> government began intensive processes <strong>of</strong> reviewand reflection with <strong>the</strong> aim <strong>of</strong> improving policy,systems, institutions and operations in preparationfor <strong>the</strong> 2009/10 year and beyond. The Office<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Premier (OOP) began its process with amanagement committee workshop that criticallyreflected on achievements, functions and <strong>the</strong> future.The discussions have been taken forward through anorganisational review process that began in February2009.1.3.3 Expenditure ReviewThe Office <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Premier received total budgetallocation through <strong>the</strong> adjustment budget <strong>of</strong>R206,417 million. In spite <strong>of</strong> a general trend over<strong>the</strong> last few years <strong>of</strong> under expenditure, due to <strong>the</strong>unforeseen cost for <strong>the</strong> inauguration <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> newPremier on 7 October 2008 and claims receivedfrom <strong>the</strong> Department <strong>of</strong> Sports, Arts, Recreation andCulture pertaining to <strong>the</strong> activities <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong>Youth Commission (GYC), <strong>the</strong> Office overspent itsbudget allocation for 2009/10. To ensure that thissituation does not arise in <strong>the</strong> 2009/10 financial year,management has improved day-to-day financialreporting processes through an electronic reportingtool and <strong>the</strong> addressing <strong>of</strong> matters at a managementlevel at <strong>the</strong> GYC.1.3.4 Organisational Transformation & DevelopmentThe Office <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Premier approved a neworganisational structure in January 2008 and for <strong>the</strong>period under review, <strong>the</strong> focus was to ensure that<strong>the</strong> strategic management and leadership capacitywas developed in terms <strong>of</strong> this new structure. Themost significant implication <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> new structure was<strong>the</strong> creation <strong>of</strong> three branches to ensure improvedco-ordination and most critically, a focus on coremandates such as communication, policy andgovernance. The transfer <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> YouthCommission (GYC) from <strong>the</strong> Department <strong>of</strong> Sports,Arts, Culture and Recreation in <strong>the</strong> middle <strong>of</strong> 2008required significant engagement to ensure alignment<strong>of</strong> logistical and administrative functions and also toensure integration into <strong>the</strong> Office <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Premier’score structure.1.3.5 ConclusionI would like to take this opportunity to thank <strong>the</strong>former Premier, Paul Mashatile for <strong>the</strong> leadership andguidance in <strong>the</strong> 2008/09 financial year and all staffat <strong>the</strong> Office <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Premier for <strong>the</strong>ir commitment andeffort in achieving <strong>the</strong> mandate over <strong>the</strong> last 5 years.We look forward with great enthusiasm to meeting<strong>the</strong> mandate <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> new term under <strong>the</strong> leadership <strong>of</strong>Premier Nomvula Mokonyane.MALLELE PETJEDIRECTOR GENERALOFFICE OF THE PREMIERGAUTENG10

• Legal advisory and legislative drafting support services.The role <strong>of</strong> legislation is to stipulate rights and obligations. It is <strong>the</strong>refore essential that <strong>the</strong> legislation is understoodand implemented correctly and efficiently. Consequently legislation must be drawn up in an intelligible and consistentmanner, in accordance with <strong>the</strong> uniform principles <strong>of</strong> drafting and presentation, so that people can identify <strong>the</strong>irrights and obligations. Legislative drafting is not just a technical exercise. It requires <strong>the</strong> drafter to work in closecollaboration with <strong>the</strong> instructing department and to ensure that legislation is based on sound legal principles, giveseffect to policy and is clear and understandable as well as practicable. In keeping with <strong>the</strong> latter and in order to fosteruniformity and certainty in <strong>the</strong> legislative process, <strong>the</strong> Office introduced a process map called <strong>the</strong> “Path to Legislation”in 2008 to provide clear guidelines on <strong>the</strong> process to be followed when drafting legislation and emphasises <strong>the</strong> cleardistinction between <strong>the</strong> policy cycle and drafting <strong>of</strong> Bills. The Path also includes drafting guidelines which outlines <strong>the</strong>basic drafting principles to enhance <strong>the</strong> standard <strong>of</strong> legislation drafted in <strong>the</strong> Province and to ensure that <strong>the</strong>re is nounnecessary delays in <strong>the</strong> certification process.The following Bills and Regulations were certified during <strong>the</strong> year under review:BillsRegulations• Transport Framework Revision Amendment Bill,2008• Gautrain Management Agency Amendment Bill,2008• <strong>Gauteng</strong> Shared Services Agency Bill, 2008• Scrutiny <strong>of</strong> Subordinate Legislation Bill, 2008• Enterprise Propeller Amendment Bill, 2009• Gambling Amendment Bill, 2009• Consumer Affairs (Unfair Business Practices)Validation Bill, 2008• Appropriation Bill, 2009• Unauthorised Expenditure Bill, 2008• Adjustment Appropriation Bill, 2009• Liquor Amendment Regulations to provide for extension<strong>of</strong> validity <strong>of</strong> shebeen permits;• Second Liquor Amendment Regulations to provide for <strong>the</strong>conversion <strong>of</strong> old liquor licenses to <strong>Gauteng</strong> licenses.

Thereasons for this circumstance range from delays in finalising departmental drafting processes to late submissions<strong>of</strong> legislative proposals. In an attempt to avoid <strong>the</strong> recurrence <strong>of</strong> this, Departments would be required to submitlegislative proposals at <strong>the</strong> beginning <strong>of</strong> each legislative year.An electronic Litigation Management System has been introduced in <strong>the</strong> Province. The departments have beentrained on <strong>the</strong> system and are now uploading <strong>the</strong>ir respective litigation cases. A few technical challenges havebeen experienced with <strong>the</strong> system and <strong>the</strong>se are in <strong>the</strong> process <strong>of</strong> being rectified. It is anticipated that <strong>the</strong> firstreports will be generated by end July 2009. The review phase that will follow will address any challengesexperienced with <strong>the</strong> initial implementation. The Legal Forum in <strong>the</strong> Province is up and running and meetsquarterly. It provides an excellent opportunity for <strong>the</strong> legal advisors in <strong>the</strong> Province to network. It is also envisagedthat <strong>the</strong> Forum provide an opportunity for new legal issues and developments to be addressed. The ChiefDirectorate envisages that <strong>the</strong> Forum progress to a learning platform wherein legal advisors in <strong>the</strong> Provinceproactively participate and submit areas <strong>of</strong> contention and development to <strong>the</strong> Forum for noting and discussion.Both academics and legal experts will be invited to address <strong>the</strong> Forum from time to time as part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> initiativeto create an enabling learning environment.The legal services unit is constantly called upon to render legal advice and opinions on a range <strong>of</strong> issuesby both its internal clients and its external clients. Some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> issues advised on range from due processwith regards to declaring inter-provincial disputes, <strong>the</strong> legislative competency <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Province to regulate publicpassenger liability insurance, <strong>the</strong> transfer and integration <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> Youth Commission into <strong>the</strong> NationalYouth Development Agency, ceding <strong>of</strong> existing agreements from National to Provincial government, termination<strong>of</strong> agreements, allegations <strong>of</strong> bribery, and access to information issues.

One <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> critical focal points will be <strong>the</strong> finalisation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> organisational review initiated in <strong>the</strong>latter part <strong>of</strong> 2008, to ensure that <strong>the</strong> Office has <strong>the</strong> necessary capacity to support Premier Mokonyane in herterm.In support <strong>the</strong> province to implement its new mandate, <strong>the</strong> Office will focus on:• ExCo Support functions.• Planning and oversight functions.• Political compliance including legal, financial and service delivery.• Supporting <strong>the</strong> establishment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> Planning Commission.• Government relations and service delivery renewal.• Communication functions.• Initiatives to improve administrative functions for cost efficiencies.A critical part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> early stages <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> new term has been <strong>the</strong> reprioritisation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> functions and resources<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Office to ensure that <strong>the</strong> new mandates and priorities are met and that <strong>the</strong> Office is integrated into <strong>the</strong>broader reconfiguration <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> Provincial Government.45

Office <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Premier, Gautent - Vote1REPORT OF THE ACCOUNTING OFFICERfor <strong>the</strong> year ended 31 March 20091. IntroductionAs <strong>the</strong> political nerve centre <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> Provincial Government (GPG), <strong>the</strong> Office <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Premier (OoP)plays a vital role in facilitating policy and decision-making in <strong>the</strong> GPG as well as fulfilling key roles such ascommunication and stakeholder liaison. On an annual basis, numerous izimbizo, roadshows and targetedstakeholder relations programmes are initiated, complementing efforts to inform <strong>the</strong> public <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> actions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>GPG through traditional media such as newspapers, customised communication modalities such as <strong>Gauteng</strong>News and <strong>the</strong> GPG portal.The focus <strong>of</strong> operations in <strong>the</strong> 2008/09 financial year, in line with <strong>the</strong> mandate was accelerating growth anddevelopment, social service delivery and building <strong>the</strong> capacity and organisation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> state.The <strong>Gauteng</strong> City Region (GCR) is one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> foundations <strong>of</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong>’s long range development planningorientation and significant progress was made this year in this regard, including:• Streng<strong>the</strong>ning <strong>the</strong> foundations <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> GCR by implementation <strong>of</strong> GCR Roadmap focussing on:- presenting scenarios for a cost efficient governance;- mapping economic linkages;- benchmarking and indicator study undertaken; and- developing terms <strong>of</strong> reference for <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> a long-term planning.• Launching <strong>of</strong> critical institutions including <strong>the</strong> Global City Region Academy (GCRA) and <strong>the</strong> Global City RegionObservatory (GCRO).• Initiating strategy development processes focused on <strong>the</strong> service sector and fostering innovation in <strong>the</strong> province.The OoP continues to co-ordinate mainstreaming efforts for youth, women and people with disabilities. Through<strong>the</strong> management <strong>of</strong> structures within <strong>the</strong> province to facilitate integration and a cohesive approach, <strong>the</strong> OoP hascontinued to fulfil its mandate in this regard. In <strong>the</strong> 2008/09 financial year, regional Women’s Dialogues wereheld in support <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> a provincial Programme <strong>of</strong> Action on Gender and <strong>the</strong> issues faced byPeople with Disabilities were highlighted through <strong>the</strong> annual International Day <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Disabled Programme. The<strong>Gauteng</strong> Youth Commission (GYC) has embarked on a range <strong>of</strong> programmes to develop <strong>the</strong> skills <strong>of</strong> youth in<strong>Gauteng</strong> and also to empower youth to participate in <strong>the</strong> 2009 elections through voter education programmes.Unfortunately despite an additional budget allocation for voter education programmes, this programme provedto be underfunded, hence <strong>the</strong> over expenditure experienced in <strong>the</strong> 2008/09 financial year. These efforts aresupported by <strong>the</strong> annual publication <strong>of</strong> targeted service directories which provide valuable information onservices for youth, women, children and people with disabilities in <strong>the</strong> province.Efforts to improve service delivery and build <strong>the</strong> capacity <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> state have focused on recognising serviceexcellence through <strong>the</strong> 7th annual Premier’s Service Excellence Awards (PSEA), <strong>the</strong> introduction <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ProvincialAnti-corruption Policy Framework and <strong>the</strong> training <strong>of</strong> ethics <strong><strong>of</strong>fice</strong>rs in each department. In addition, servicedelivery has been bolstered by <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> a Provincial Service Charter which was made public duringAfrica Public Service Week. The launch <strong>of</strong> additional Thusong Service Centres across <strong>the</strong> province has continued<strong>the</strong> roll out <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> programme to ensure one-stop service centres to provide communities with direct and efficientservices close to where <strong>the</strong>y live.One <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> major focal points <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> year under review was <strong>the</strong> finalisation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> GPG Strategic Plan for Actionfor 2004 to 2009. All departments were involved in national, provincial and local review processes to reflect on47

REPORT OF THE AUDITOR - GENERALTo <strong>the</strong> Provincial Legislature on <strong>the</strong> Financial Statements andPerformance Information <strong>of</strong> Vote No. 1: <strong>Gauteng</strong> Office <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Premierfor <strong>the</strong> Year Ended 31 March 2009REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSIntroduction1. I have audited <strong>the</strong> accompanying financial statements <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Office <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Premier which comprise <strong>the</strong> appropriationstatement, <strong>the</strong> statement <strong>of</strong> financial position as at 31 March 2009, and <strong>the</strong> statement <strong>of</strong> financial performance,<strong>the</strong> statement <strong>of</strong> changes in net assets and <strong>the</strong> cash flow statement for <strong>the</strong> year <strong>the</strong>n ended, and a summary <strong>of</strong>significant accounting policies and o<strong>the</strong>r explanatory notes, as set out on pages 60 to 99.The accounting <strong><strong>of</strong>fice</strong>r’s responsibility for <strong>the</strong> financial statements2. The accounting <strong><strong>of</strong>fice</strong>r is responsible for <strong>the</strong> preparation and fair presentation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se financial statementsin accordance with <strong>the</strong> modified cash basis <strong>of</strong> accounting determined by <strong>the</strong> National Treasury, as set out inaccounting policy note 1.1 and in <strong>the</strong> manner required by <strong>the</strong> Public Finance Management Act, 1999 (Act No.1 <strong>of</strong> 1999) (PFMA) and for such internal control as <strong>the</strong> accounting <strong><strong>of</strong>fice</strong>r determines is necessary to enable <strong>the</strong>preparation <strong>of</strong> financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whe<strong>the</strong>r due to fraud or error.The Auditor-General’s responsibility3. As required by section 188 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Constitution <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Republic <strong>of</strong> South Africa, 1996 read with section 4 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>Public Audit Act, 2004 (Act No. 25 <strong>of</strong> 2004) (PAA), my responsibility is to express an opinion on <strong>the</strong>se financialstatements based on my audit.4. I conducted my audit in accordance with <strong>the</strong> International Standards on Auditing read with General Notice 616<strong>of</strong> 2008, issued in Government Gazette No. 31057 <strong>of</strong> 15 May 2008. Those standards require that I comply wi<strong>the</strong>thical requirements and plan and perform <strong>the</strong> audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> financialstatements are free from material misstatement.5. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about <strong>the</strong> amounts and disclosures in <strong>the</strong>financial statements. The procedures selected depend on <strong>the</strong> auditor’s judgement, including <strong>the</strong> assessment <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> risks <strong>of</strong> material misstatement <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> financial statements, whe<strong>the</strong>r due to fraud or error. In making those riskassessments, <strong>the</strong> auditor considers internal control relevant to <strong>the</strong> entity’s preparation and fair presentation <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in <strong>the</strong> circumstances, but not for<strong>the</strong> purpose <strong>of</strong> expressing an opinion on <strong>the</strong> effectiveness <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> entity’s internal control. An audit also includesevaluating <strong>the</strong> appropriateness <strong>of</strong> accounting policies used and <strong>the</strong> reasonableness <strong>of</strong> accounting estimates madeby management, as well as evaluating <strong>the</strong> overall presentation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> financial statements.6. I believe that <strong>the</strong> audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my auditopinion.Opinion7. In my opinion <strong>the</strong> financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, <strong>the</strong> financial position <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Office<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Premier as at 31 March 2009 and its financial performance and its cash flows for <strong>the</strong> year <strong>the</strong>n ended,in accordance with <strong>the</strong> modified cash basis <strong>of</strong> accounting determined by <strong>the</strong> National Treasury, as set out inaccounting policy note 1.1 and in <strong>the</strong> manner required by <strong>the</strong> PFMA.Emphasis <strong>of</strong> mattersWithout qualifying my opinion, I draw attention to <strong>the</strong> following matters:54

The Office <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Premier’s policy is to prepare financial statements on <strong>the</strong> modified cash basis <strong>of</strong> accountingdetermined by <strong>the</strong> National Treasury, as set out in accounting policy note 1.1.Unauthorised expenditure9. As disclosed in note 9 to <strong>the</strong> financial statements, unauthorised expenditure to <strong>the</strong> amount <strong>of</strong> R10 619 000was incurred. This was due to <strong>the</strong> overspending in <strong>the</strong> payment <strong>of</strong> goods and services for <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> YouthCommission which was transferred to <strong>the</strong> Office <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Premier during <strong>the</strong> year under review and <strong>the</strong> inauguration<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> new Premier <strong>of</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong>.O<strong>the</strong>r mattersWithout qualifying my opinion, I draw attention to <strong>the</strong> following matters that relate to my responsibility in <strong>the</strong> audit<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> financial statements:Governance framework10.

The PFMA tasks <strong>the</strong> accounting <strong><strong>of</strong>fice</strong>r with a number <strong>of</strong> responsibilities concerning financial and risk managementand internal control.
