As disclosed in note 24 to the financial statements,the corresponding figures for 31 March 2010, havebeen restated as a result of an error discoveredduring 2011 in the financial statements of the<strong>Gauteng</strong> Department of Finance at, and for theyear ended 31 March 2010. Misstatements in thecorresponding figures (2009-10) were identifiedduring the audit of the financial statements ofthe current year relating to irregular expenditurewhich amounted to R76 467 371. Managementcorrected the misstatement by restating thecorresponding figure for irregular expenditure.Accruals11. Accruals reflected in note 20 which exceeded thepayment term of 30 days as required by <strong>Treasury</strong>Regulation 8.2.3 amounted to R80 644 000. Thisamount, in turn, exceeded the voted funds to besurrendered of R30 586 000 as per the statementof financial performance by R50 058 000.
