An overview of the audit report
Audit opinion Qualified audit opinion issuedBasis for qualified opinion Completeness of receivables for departmental
revenue (R25m) could not be verified This is related to disclosure note 26 (page 189) Although the department prepares AFS on
modified cash basis, such disclosure notes are necessary as part of the preparation for migration into accrual basis of accounting
55
An overview of the audit report
Root Cause Lack of a comprehensive debtors system Skills gapsManagement action plan• New debtors system to be developed as part
of the new system – BAS to be used in the interim
• Monthly workshops with regional offices to review registers
• Additional staff with Financial background to be appointed in all regional offices

An overview of the audit report
Emphasis of matter This matters are not a qualification but are
intended to draw the readers attention to such matters due to their importance.
Matters reported are: Basis of reporting - this is a standard
paragraph for all national departments – No further action is required in this regard.
77
An overview of the audit report
Irregular Expenditure – expenditure that was incurred without
adhering to the internal delegation of authority, e.g. services rendered prior to approval by the relevant authority
These were picked up the internal controls established by the department
All cases were evaluated and condoned by the Accounting Officer during the year
88
An overview of the audit report
Restatement of previous financial year figures.
Changes effected on prior year’s reported figures These changes were either made as a result of a query
from the AG or initiated by Management The intention is to align prior year’s figures to the
current for comparability. One of the major causes for these adjustments is
change in reporting framework, e.g. disclosure of minor assets.
99
An overview of the audit report Material under-spending of budget
Although the amount appears significant it only represents 2,9 percent of the total budget – which is below the materiality threshold set by National Treasury
The under spending was primarily caused by delays in finalising contracts for non-grid service. These contracts were signed towards the end of the financial year
Approval was granted by National Treasury for the roll over of the funding to the 2010/11
1010
An overview of the audit report

Analysis of variances
The overall under spending by the Department was R137,288 million which is 2.9 % of the budget.
The main reason for the under spending was the delay in finalising contracts for the non-grid electrification programme – roll over approved in this regard
An under-spending of 0.4% under programme 1 relates to outstanding lease payments and accommodation charges payable to the Department of Public works.
1414
Analysis of variances Mine Health and Safety branch reflected an
under-spending of 0.1% which is due to vacancies within the branch.
The under-spending of R7.5 million under Mineral Regulation branch is attributable to delays in contracts and subsequent payments for projects aimed at rehabilitating ownerless and derelict mines of which R5 million was approved for roll over.
The under spending on Electricity and Nuclear branch can be attributed to payments that were not disbursed due to delays in finalising agreements

Programme 3Mineral Regulation
Purpose To regulate the minerals and mining sectors to achieve transformation and sustainable development.
Objective To transform the minerals and mining sectors into one that
competitively contributes to the sustainable development in the country.
4848
Regulation of the minerals and mining sector to achieve transformation and sustainability.
Exceeded the target of granting Rights to HDSA
Monitor and enforce compliance Exceeded the target of conducting inspections
Effectively implement relevant legislation Exceeded the target of conducting industry workshops
Regulation of the minerals and mining sector to achieve transformation and sustainability. Exceeded the target of granting Rights to HDSA
Monitor and enforce compliance Exceeded the target of conducting inspections
Effectively implement relevant legislation Exceeded the target of conducting industry workshops
4949
Challenges Whilst we have exceeded targets in granting rights to HDSA,
not many of these have graduated into Mining Rights. Sale of Rights and dilutions - Some of these Rights could have
been subjected to auctioneering without Ministerial consent Inadequate capacity to conduct compliance inspections Whilst the branch may have succeeded in conducting
inspections, the impact is not felt on the ground, as limited number of Section 93 and 47 have been issued
Whilst the branch may have succeeded in conducting community and industry workshops, the branch experienced an increase in complaints from communities. These complaints though wide ranging, border on non compliance by mining companies on SLP commitments.
Funding (personnel, goods and services)
5050
Corrective Measures
Imposition of a moratorium on lodgement of new prospecting rights, to allow a thorough audit of all rights granted since implementation of the MPRDA
Development of a new electronic system for the lodgement and administration of mining and prospecting applications.
The new system will enable online lodgement of all applications
- transparency built into the system Reduction in timeframes for the processing of applications. Strengthening capacity of Regional offices by re-deploying
Chief Directors, creation of additional Chief Director posts, and additional resources for monitoring and evaluation.

5454
Corrective Measures Beneficiation Strategy - Broadening consultation within the
government system (Economic Development Cluster) and with stakeholders through MIGDETT
An implementation plan for D & O in process of finalization
AMD threat - Constitution of a comprehensive and pragmatic
stakeholder forum consisting of science councils of the DMR,
DWAE and the DST, academics from universities engaged in
research on water resources and management and the resultant
impacts of mining activities
Reconfiguration of the implementation agent framework for small
scale mining by enhancing the role of the IDC and weaning away
from the CGS
