Chairperson’s Report

Jan SmitActing Chairperson

The 2010/2011 fi nancial year was a busy one for the CHIETA. We successfully addressed the challenges of skills-development and made great strides in all areas of training, including apprentice training. Our focus is and always will be to train our workforce in the chemical industries sector to become highly-skilled and competent and to ensure that the training needs of both the industry and labour are met, and exceeded.

The CHIETA in the year under review built strong partnerships across many communities of practice including higher-education institutions and FET colleges, universities and workplaces. We have also afforded opportunities for integrated learning and workplace experience to graduates and undergraduates in our quest to close this glaring gap in the skills training arena. It was pleasant and satisfying to experience CHIETA as an organisation re-focusing and aligning their priorities and processes in optimal support of the new delivery areas defi ned by the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET).

While the dedicated CHIETA staff made all the gains refl ected in this annual report for 2010/2011, the CHIETA also had its fair share of challenges and it is common knowledge that the CHIETA experienced problems during this period, which resulted in changes being made at senior-management level. The governing board appointed Ms Ayesha Itzkin, the CHIETA’s ETDQA Executive Manager of eight years, to function as Acting

“The CHIETA is proudly looking forward to a new and exciting era.”

CEO from 23 March 2011 onwards to ensure direction and stability during the current important organisational phase of NSDS III transformation. On a broader organisational level, the dedication and competence of CHIETA staff members is essential to sustain a high standard of service delivery to our stakeholders during this challenging period.

While the CHIETA rounded up NSDS II, our staff had already put in place measures to take forward NSDS III, as reflected in the CHIETA’s Strategic Plan approved by Parliament on 9 March 2011.

NSDS III will become real and implementable as from 1 April 2011. The CHIETA is proudly looking forward to a new and exciting era that this will usher in – the important delivery areas of NSDS III – to ensure our added value to the continued improvement of our young democracy. Under the leadership of Higher Education and Training Minister, Dr Blade Nzimande, the CHIETA will follow boldly, and function as the benchmark SETA, guided by the new governance and performance frameworks from the DHET.

The CHIETA’s Governing Board is therefore appreciative of the oversight role of the DHET in the future, which will ensure good governance and performance-based delivery to address national strategies such as the environmental strategy; the rural development strategy; the Industrial Policy Action Plan; and other key legislation now factored into skills-development. The CHIETA welcomes this expanded vision and I am confident that the new Governing Board will live up to the new and exciting challenge.

I want to make use of this opportunity to extend my appreciation to the hard working CHIETA staff, all the governing board members, all the stakeholders – both business and labour, and our principles in government for your support, guidance, wisdom and leadership during the 2010/2011 financial year.

I would also like to welcome the incoming governing board of the CHIETA. I am confident that you will be presiding over the CHIETA on its way to becoming the benchmark SETA in South Africa. Good luck and God Bless. Enjoy this Annual Report – take the time to read it. It is worth it!

Chief Executive Officer’s Report

Ayesha ItzkinActing Chief Executive Officer

It gives me pleasure to provide you with feedback regarding the implementation of the last year of the National Skills-Development Strategy II in 2010/2011. Once again, the CHIETA is proud to showcase the great in-roads our SETA has made with our stakeholders in terms of skills training in the chemical industries sector. We have succeeded in fulfilling our skills-development mandate, despite experiencing a turbulent year. We are pleased to report that the CHIETA staff and stakeholders have again excelled, and we can report successes to be proud of.

Our SETA is charged with developing the South African workforce across the following five main areas of production, related to the CHIETA’s five chambers: Base Chemicals and Petroleum; Speciality Chemicals and Surface Coatings; Explosives and Fertilisers; Pharmaceutical and Chemically-Related Consumer Goods and Glass. The list of qualifications relevant to these sectors which are accredited by the CHIETA and quality assured by the ETDQA Department, is published on page 15.

In the reporting period 2010/2011, the CHIETA awarded certificates across a range of qualifications to a total of 2 500 learners. We continued to strengthen the CHIETA’s two- Apprentice Training System to highly-skilled artisans and addressing the shortage of these priority skills in our country. This was also the focus of Higher Education and Training Minister (DHET), Dr Blade Nzimande. The CHIETA has put in place one of the best systems for recognition of prior learning (RPL) of competent persons through the section 28 project (refer to page 12).

The CHIETA has expensed 83% of its mandatory grant levy income received to levy paying companies submitting workplace skills plans and education and training reports

“This substantially greater than inflationary increase without a corresponding increase in the number of levy contributing organisations is pervasive in confirming the impact of the CHIETA in enhancing the skills levels and creating employment in the chemical sector.”

during the financial year ended 31 March 2011. The total employer grants and project expenses for the period accounted for 92% of the skill development levy income received for grants and projects as per the skills development legislation. Since the inception of the CHIETA in 2000, we have achieved an average disbursement rate of employer grants and project expenses of over 90% in comparison with skills development levy income received during the eleven year period.

Despite the governance-related challenges that our SETA faced, I am proud to say that with the support of our Governing Board and the DHET, we have explained all areas of concern to the Auditor-General. The CHIETA submitted all its skills training- related monitoring reports, which were of acceptable quality and on time.

Primary interventions were made to identify and mitigate risks going forward supported by a sustained governance framework and quality assurance of the CHIETA risk-management profile which was supported by the CHIETA’s Internal Auditors. All CHIETA business units and staff members were involved in the process to ensure individual and collective ownership in the organisation. The development and anticipated finalisation of a comprehensive CHIETA Legal Compliance Register will also stand us in good stead in sustaining and improving the CHIETA’s compliance profile. In conjunction with the Internal Audit team as a key business partner of management, we saw sustained improvement of internal controls which were reflected in the various Internal Audit Reports for the year under review, strengthening our stakeholder confidence.

Stakeholders’ participation through our Chambers was identified in 2010/2011 as an area that required interventions to ensure that the role of the Chambers, as identified in the new CHIETA constitution for NSDS III, is implemented fully in the future. It is through the Chambers Structure that the CHIETA can derive a credible sector skills plan to address the skills needs of all the sub-sectors of the CHIETA. We now need to work on skills training with a long-term view, and to plan for both the demand and supply sides.

The CHIETA is proud to report, that despite the economic downturn, skills-development levy income has grown to unprecedented levels. Our levy income has grown by 11%, from R268.6 million in 2009/2010 to R297.2 million in 2010/2011. Over the last three financial years levy income has increased by an average rate of 16.6%, consistently exceeding inflation and the annual average increment of salaries in the chemical sector over the period. The number of levy paying companies has however remained relatively consistent during the three year period. This substantially greater than inflationary increase without a corresponding increase in the number of levy contributing organisations is pervasive in confirming the impact of the CHIETA in enhancing the skills levels and creating employment in the chemical sector.

In addition to our ongoing support to our stakeholders, our good track record of collecting and disbursing mandatory grants, providing high-quality skills training and related interventions, we have earned the CHIETA the respect of our stakeholders, both from business and labour.

Chief Executive Offi cer’s Report

The year 2011 promises to be a good one for the CHIETA, as we learn from our successes and challenges of the past fi ve years of NSDS II. Already the CHIETA has started making big strides towards meeting the real scarce skills needs of our economic sector by obtaining well-researched skills plans and worker information. This will greatly assist the CHIETA to bridge the skills’ gaps identifi ed by our research and related interventions.

Fazel ErnestChief Operations Officer

Once again the opportunity has arisen to reflect on the state of the skills revolution and in particular, the role played by the CHIETA. Having received accolades for our achievements in the recent past, we need to reflect on whether we have remained steadfast in our mandate, and indeed exceeded in the delivery of our mandate.

This past year has seen dramatic developments in the skills-development arena characterised by a much more vigorous programme of implementation. The new Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) has ushered in a new-look SETA landscape and a Draft National Skills-Development Strategy with its concomitant legislative amendments.

Our responsibility remains therefore to ensure that we develop and improve the skills of the South African workforce – specifically within the chemical industry, and with particular focus on those workers previously disadvantaged – blacks; women and the disabled – paying greater attention to our vulnerable rural communities and citizens.

The new skills-development framework is expected to usher in a dynamic transformative human resource development process to successfully translate our interventions into accelerated transformation; greater productivity; and supporting skills training at small business level. Transformation remains a primary focus within our workplaces, serving as proof that our interventions need to make greater impact.

The end of NSDS II has coincided with the end of the reporting period of this annual report. The strength of NSDS II was to move the focus from being compliance driven (NSDS I) towards taking greater note of performance. This report highlights areas of performance that the CHIETA staff achieved.

THE APPRENTICESHIP UNIT

The CHIETA has an area of jurisdiction in terms of the Manpower Training Act, 1981 (Act No. 56 of 1981) MTA, as published in the Government Gazette No. 16561 of 21 July 1995 (Notice No. R 1076) over the designated trades: boilermaker, fi tter, turner, welder, rigger, electrician, diesel mechanic, motor mechanic and instrument mechanic.

The CHIETA resuscitated its apprentice training in 2008, enabling the workforce of the chemical industries sector to complete a successful Contract of Apprenticeship – a three-year learnership (level 2, 3 and 4) and years of relevant workplace experience, in order to apply for a trade test and to qualify as an artisan.

1. Section 13 apprenticeship training

1.1 Accreditation and monitoring of training and testing sites

To ensure that the Contract of Apprenticeship can be implemented, the CHIETA achieved the following in 2010/2011:

• Accredited fi ve DTTCs to conduct trade tests against the CHIETA trade tests. The CHIETA now has a total of 31 accredited DTTCs.

• Approved nine employer sites to implement apprenticeship workplace training. The CHIETA now has 33 approved workplace sites.

• Accredited fi ve providers of apprentice training for on-the-job training. The CHIETA now has 35 accredited providers of apprentice training.

Further, to ensure consistency across all CHIETA accredited sites, the CHIETA conducted 58 monitoring site visits. During this period the CHIETA also de-accredited for various reasons including, not meeting the required standards, the company deciding to become de-accredited due to changing nature of its business, etc:

• Eight employers of apprentice training sites;• One provider of apprentice training site; and• One DTTC site.

1.2 Section 13 achievements

An employer may in terms of section 13 of the MTA register an apprentice on a Contract of Apprenticeship linked to a competency-based modular learning programme. The apprentice receives during the four-year Contract of Apprenticeship the required workplace experience; practical training and institutional training at CHIETA-accredited sites in order to be eligible to do a trade test at a CHIETA-accredited Decentralised Trade Test Centre (DTTC) or at INDELELA.

The CHIETA contracted 32 apprentices during this fi nancial year, and issued 11 section 13 certifi cates to apprentices who completed their Contracts of Apprenticeship.

ETDQA

The CHIETA has an area of jurisdiction in terms of the Manpower Training Act, 1981 (Act No. 56 of 1981) MTA, as published in the Government Gazette No. 16561 of 21 July 1995 (Notice No. R 1076) over the designated trades: boilermaker, fi tter, turner, welder, rigger, electrician, diesel mechanic, motor mechanic

1.3 Section 13 apprenticeship-related research

One of the challenges that the CHIETA faced was that not all prospective apprentices had the required Standard 8 (Grade 10) mathematics and science, or a relevant N1-certifi cate to qualify for entry into a Contract of Apprenticeship. The ETDQA commissioned a study to determine whether the theory-related (education) entry requirements as specifi ed in the Conditions of Apprenticeship is still applicable. The study was undertaken in two phases. Phase one was undertaken to determine if the Standard 8 standard grade mathematics and science syllabus is equivalent to the N1 syllabus for mathematics and engineering science. Phase two of the study was undertaken to determine which current mathematics or science qualifi cations offerings could be accepted as an equivalent educational qualifi cation. Based on the outcome of the study, the CHIETA identifi ed which educational qualifi cation can be accepted to as equivalent to the NATED 191 N1 mathematics and engineering science subjects. The full list of equivalencies is outlined in the CHIETA Requirements for Apprentices registered on contracts of apprentices in terms of section 13 of the Manpower Training Act.

In addition to the above, to be eligible for a trade test an apprentice applying for a trade test must, as one of the requirements, complete a N2 course or equivalent relevant to the specifi c trade. Stakeholders identifi ed the need to develop a CHIETA-specifi c N2 equivalent to be tested in an exam. The ETDQA commissioned a study to identify a N2 equivalent for the CHIETA-related trades. The study also identifi ed four subjects per trade that a learner will need to have completed to obtain the CHIETA N2 certifi cate. Based on this, the ETDQA developed an alternative N2 assessment system in line with the DHET’s assessment system.

1.4 National trade tests

INDLELA facilitated the process of updating the existing national trade tests for all designated trades between 2009 and 2010. The trade test updates were conducted by working groups representing stakeholders from across all the relevant sectors. These updates were made to ensure that the trade tests refl ect current industry practice. The ETDQA facilitated a process in April 2010 to discuss the updates required, and our stakeholder’s workshopped each trade test thoroughly for all the CHIETA-designated trades, except the diesel mechanic and motor mechanic trades which are in the process of being developed by the working groups. It is foreseen that the updated national trade test will be implemented at the end of 2011.


12

2. Section 28 apprentices training:

1.1 Section 28 achievements

A candidate who is not registered on a Contract of Apprenticeship, may in terms of section 28 of the MTA apply for a trade test. The candidate must provide evidence that he/she has the required knowledge, skills and experience equivalent to an apprentice, before the CHIETA can approve the application for a section 28 trade test (also known as RPL). The CHIETA’s exemption and admission criteria for section 28 candidates ensure that those with the required experience and knowledge are supported through this process.

During the financial year, the CHIETA declared 357 section 28 candidates competent and awarded them artisan certificates.

1.2 Section 28 apprentice-related research

The failure rate across section 28 trade test applications prompted the ETDQA to conduct research to compare a variety of learning pathways to establish if learners obtained sufficient skills and competencies from other learning pathways for them to pass the trade tests.

In the first study, the trade theory component of the N2-course syllabus offered by FET colleges were compared to the knowledge component of the SAQA registered G-MET levels 2, 3 and 4 trade-related learnerships/qualifications; the national certificate vocational levels 2, 3 and 4; and the CHIETA’s interim qualifications levels 2, 3 and 4 trade-relate learnerships/qualifications.

The second study consisted of two phases. The first phase was conducted to determine if the content of the practical component of the on-the-job training gained through any of the above-mentioned learning pathways were aligned to the on-the-job training required in terms of the CHIETA’s apprentice training schedules.

The second phase determined whether the duration of the on-the-job training gained during each of the three learning pathways was aligned to the minimum duration required for the on-the-job training in terms of the CHIETA’s apprentice training- schedules. Based on these findings, the ETDQA amended the CHIETA’s section 28 admission and exemption criteria to specify that the:

• N2 trade theory vs knowledge obtained via the other qualification pathways. • The required contents of on-the-job training needed to be obtained in a

qualification that is in line with the contents of on-the-job training obtained during an apprenticeship.

• The minimum duration of on-the-job training be obtained in a qualification in line with the minimum duration of on-the-job training obtained during an apprenticeship.

ETDQA continued

13

3. CHIETA pre-trade evaluation test process:

The ETDQA developed a pre-trade evaluation test process to determine the eligibility of trade test candidates (section 13 and section 28) to do a trade test. The pre-trade evaluation test includes the theoretical knowledge component and the skills-level of the trade test candidates before they are approved for trade preparation and for a trade test. The ETDQA felt that this amended trade test process was necessary so that a trade test candidate stands a better chance of undergoing brush-up training before the trade test. This process will be implemented in the second half of 2011.

Provider workshops

On 31 March 2011 three successful collaborative provider workshops were held in the Western Cape (encompassing Mossel Bay, KwaZulu-Natal, the Eastern Cape and Gauteng, which included Sedibeng and Mpumalanga). The purpose of the workshops was:

• To inform providers about the Department of Higher Education and Training systems and the processes for the registration of private providers of education and training.

• To inform providers on the various learning pathways towards becoming an artisan, and to disseminate the information about our research.

Learning materials development or acquisition

During 2010/2011 the ETDQA also achieved the following significant development in the year under review including the development of learning materials through the CHIETA ISOE project and some learning materials acquired from related SETAs. To date, the materials relate to the following qualifications:

1. Engineering Fabrication NQF 2-4 (58722, 58720, 58721);2. Mechanical Engineering NQF 2-4 Fitting (59689, 59669, 59709);3. Mechanical Engineering: Pipe Fitting (59689, 59750, 59769);4. Welding Application and Practice: (57881, 57886, 57887);5. Chemical Manufacturing: (58955); and6. Gas Installation: (59015, 58950).


14

Development of new learnerships

During the period under review, we completed leanerships relating to the following qualifi cations:

1. Automated Packaging NQF 3; 2. Machining Tooling NQF 3-4. (The base qualifi cation for machining and tooling

is Turning NQF 2); and3. Pharmaceutical Sales Representation NQF 5.

Institutes of Excellence

The CHIETA has continued to provide fi nancial and related support to its existing institutes of excellence, namely:

1. PetroSA (PTY) Ltd Centre of Excellence – Mossel Bay (WC);2. Sasol SkillTEC – Sasolburg (FS);3. Gas Institute of Excellence – Randburg (GP);4. Phakamani College – Johannesburg (GP); and5. Scientec (Pty) Ltd (KZN).

A total of 2 500 learner certifi cates were issued for full qualifi cations registered on the NQF; 155 assessor certifi cates and 110 moderator certifi cates were issued.

With the assistance of the provider support-team, we managed to Qala 88 qualifi cations, 58 were monitored to maintain quality education and training; 74 audits were conducted on new and old qualifi cations ensuring that providers are accredited for the qualifi cations they are offering; 54 new potential providers were supported; and four regional workshops were held to support our providers.

Our scope was also broadened in terms of qualifi cations, for example lab analysis, energy regulation piped gas, automated packaging etc, as requested by SAQA.

During the 2010/2011 fi nancial year, the CHIETA submitted the 2011/2016 Sector Skills Plan (SSP) to the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) on 30 September 2010. The Department subsequently evaluated the SSP and provided comments to the CHIETA in November 2010. The feedback from the Department was encouraging, and the comments that needed to be integrated were not substantial. The revised SSP was submitted to the externally-appointed evaluator who was generally happy with the document, which was then submitted to the DHET in mid-February 2011.

Concurrent with this process, the CHIETA engaged our line departments of government (Energy, Trade and Industry and Environmental Affairs) around the SSP. Based on these engagements, the CHIETA integrated the respective comments and sign-off was obtained from the Department of Energy and Environmental Affairs.

The process of SSP compilation involved extensive stakeholder consultation with the chambers and stakeholders from the regions, as well as government departments and a few relevant interest groups. This principle of broad stakeholder consultations will be employed in the compilation of future SSP updates, as ths process gives credibility to our skills planning.

The Research and Skills Planning Unit looks forward to working constructively with internal and external stakeholders in the pursuit of credible skills planning and research, to meet the skills-development requirements of the CHIETA.

GAUTENG AND CENTRAL REGIONS

The year under review was not only unforgettable due to the mega-international football spectacle in our country, but it also brought about a hive of interesting activities in skills-development circles. Firstly, it was a transitional year that saw NSDS II being extended by a year. Secondly, it paved the way for NSDS III through consultation around the framework, and SETA landscape. And lastly, we saw the re-establishment of the CHIETA. Throughout the year of the World Cup, the Gauteng and central region (GP&CR) played its role, despite a few organisational challenges that brought pressures to bear on some aspects of the regional performance.

The GP&CR team comprises regional skills advisors (RSAs) and one administrator, and is headed by a regional manager. Until October 2010, there were four RSAs. The resignation of Fanuel Chesa meant that the region now has three RSAs, while the number of companies remains constant. We have had to double up our efforts to achieve the level of participation refl ected below, which meant that the regional manager had to step in to assist several assigned member-companies. Credit is owed to the unstinting loyalty of Brenda, Bennet, Bongani, Pat and Fanuel (in absentia). With this team, we straddle fi ve provinces: Free State, Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and North-West, all of which hosted some or other World Cup match or event.

During the reporting period, at least 830 transactions of a technical-support nature were captured. Through the technical support role we are able to meet companies one- on-one to advise, implement and monitor grant processes on the one hand, and to contribute towards quality assurance on the other.

With regard to grants, the region assisted and monitored 211 and 196 companies for the Mandatory Grant (MG) and Discretionary Grant (DG), respectively. Through our targeted assistance at least 80 organisations received DG awards, while 323 qualifi ed to receive MGs. Some of the recipients of DGs were public providers seeking to accomplish work-integrated learning for learners in chemical-related qualifi cations.

Our contribution to quality assurance gravitated mostly towards public institutions. The approach was the inception of a response to the then draft NSDs III and the ministerial call for SETAs and public institutions to join hands. The region, together with the ETDQA and the Strategic Projects units identified a need to formally approach public providers for partnerships. The regional office prioritised two outlying provinces in Limpopo and Mpumalanga as a start.

In December 2010, a workshop was held with the majority of the Further Education and Training colleges and the Department of Education in Limpopo to explore collaboration. This was followed by individual visits between February and March to the Capricorn, Waterberg, Lephalale and Sekhukhune colleges. The seeds have been planted, and the year 2011/2012 should yield some positive partnerships in this regard, including an outreach to other provinces such as the Free State and North-West.

The CHIETA now officially sits as a member of the following Industrial Advisory Councils: the University of Johannesburg, UNISA, the Vaal University of Technology and Wits University. These councils have long-existed to bring together industry, academic provision and SETAs for the sake of improving learner access to the workplace.

Unlike the World Cup, skills-development is not an event, it is a continuous process to change lives of individual South Africans and a quest to improve productivity and our economy through quality training. As a result, our valued stakeholders without whom we could not have met our goals, have managed to keep us on our toes through the SDCs and SDFs initiatives.

Throughout the reporting period, we continued to empower company-based training structures such as the SDFs and the skills-development committees through our capacity-building programmes. There were at least 20 skills-development committees established and/or revived, plus an additional 14 SDCs received refresher-training sessions. Within some companies at least 34 individual SDF induction sessions were held.

The number of SDFs reflected above excludes SDF participation in our broad regional forums (BRFs). Through the BRFs we were able to reach more than 200 SDFs and/or sector specialists. The BRFs provide a significant platform to communicate with stakeholders and to market our products and services.

The regional co-ordinating committees in Sedibeng, Gauteng and Mpumalanga create an environment conducive to the CHIETA to consult its constituencies on issues of mutual interest. Although there are challenges of participation, especially from labour’s side, at least three RCCs were held, one of which did not have a quorum.

In August 2010, the regional office at the behest of the research and SSP manager contributed to the Pestel workshops and an industry workshop, and identified several companies and government departments for in-depth interviews.

On the public relations side, we participated in a seminar convened by UNISA on work- integrated learning, the Transport SETA agm, a quality learning forum arranged by the department, the Mandela Day Career Guidance Festival in Limpopo and two Mpumalanga SETA collaboration workshops.

KWAZULU-NATAL AND EASTERN CAPE

INTRODUCTION

The team consists of Rajen Naidoo, the regional manager for KwaZulu-Natal; regional skills advisors, Aline Jeanette John–Naidu, Beevash Gansan, Thulasizwe Kojane who service KwaZulu-Natal; and Olaf Norman, who services stakeholders in the Eastern Cape. Nelisiwe Gumede is our regional administrator.

We see ourselves as a team driven by common purpose with a host of complementary skills. We try to maintain synergy and to work in a co-ordinated way. We continually remind ourselves about the focus areas of NSDS III and envisage that all our plans and initiatives will result in positive changes that will translate into a better quality of life for everyone.

Focus areas and achievements

• The stakeholder participation rate remains a key indicator to us from a regional- support perspective. Our WSP/ATR submissions have continued to increase. The year under review showed an improvement in submissions by 11%. The number of DG applications received increased by 16%.

• Our RCCs remain effective and we are enjoying the benefi ts of regional interaction as a sector, linking very well to our constitutional structures. Mr M Bhengu chairs the KwaZulu-Natal RCC and Mr Arend Levendal chairs the Eastern Cape RCC. Nita Jacobs and Karools Adams are the deputies, respectively. Their leadership and the collective contribution from the RCCs is appreciated.

• Capacitating SDCs, SDFs, the unions and other relevant stakeholders.• Supporting co-operative education and collaboration between our service

providers and the industry. We continued our membership on the DUT chemistry and engineering advisory boards. Our participation on the WSU chemistry advisory board has been met with great appreciation and we are hoping that such a board becomes active at NMMU very soon.

• Our close relationships with the FET colleges continued. The East Cape Midlands College, PE College and the East Cape Training Centre actively deliver on CHIETA programmes in the Eastern Cape. The KwaZulu-Natal Coastal College has successfully extended its scope and has entered into partnerships with DSTT and Sasol Wax.

• There was meaningful engagement with the relevant NGOs, CBOs, Co-ops and critical interest groups. There has also been active participation with the Durban Chemical Cluster, municipalities, SEDA, the Environmental Forum as well as COEGA. The Eastern Cape PSDF is still functional and being driven by the Office of the Premier. Our participation on the HRD forum, driven by the Nelson Mandela Bay municipality continues. In KwaZulu-Natal the SETA collaboration has been revived and the SETA cluster is now active.

• Marketing and communications have been very effective. Mini forums were held in Newcastle, Richards Bay and East London as part of our outreach programme. Broad regional forums were successfully held in Durban and Port Elizabeth. Subjects covered included the changing landscapes of SETAS, QCTO, co-operative education, as well as competitiveness.

• We have been offering career guidance and identifying employment opportunities. Learner support has been provided at the DOE exhibitions, World of Work – DUT and the eThekwini Career Event, as well as career fairs in the deep rural areas of KwaZulu-Natal which included Tongaat, Tugela, KwaNongoma, Mandini, Msinga and Greytown.

We see NSDS III, the amendments to the SD legislation and all associated changes as a huge opportunity for reform and to find synergy between the objectives of business and government priorities. We shall endeavour to continue to work in a manner to increase and find common purpose.

THE WESTERN AND NORTHERN CAPE REGION

The Western and Northern Cape regional offi ce comprises a manager, a skills’ adviser and administrator. The primary responsibility of the staff in the region pivots on stakeholder relationship management

and the delivery of CHIETA objectives as spelt out in the business plan.

Highlights

The Western and Northern Cape regional offi ce started off the year under review by assisting companies with

their mandatory grant submissions. The technical support given by regional staff ensured that the data in the annual training

reports and workplace skills plans are as accurate as possible. This provided credible information for the compilation of the Sector Skills Plan. This period was followed by a vigorous campaign to involve the regional stakeholders in the discretionary grant application process. The proactive approach resulted in 34 recipient companies, which was more than ever before.

The awards made refl ected the skills needs in the region, with learners recipient of various training interventions such as learnerships, apprenticeships, skills programmes and adult basic education. This demonstrated an increased commitment from the regional stakeholders in pursuit of the national skills-development imperatives for future economic growth.

The region continued to build the capacity of stakeholders about the objectives of the National Skills-Development Strategy throughout the period under review. A wide spectrum of stakeholders received information via various platforms organised by the regional offi ce. These included: broad regional forums, service provider support workshops, regional consultative committee meetings and a special Pestel workshop. The objective of the Pestel was to extract the important political, economic, social, technological, environmental and legal infl uences on skills- development in the region.

The co-operative agreement between the CHIETA and the Western Cape Education Department signed during 2009/2010 resulted in the initiation of a programme-approval process for the artisan training material offered at the Western Cape Further Education and Training colleges. Furthermore, the region strengthened the relationship between industry and the FET colleges by organising lecturer visits to the industry and vice versa. This resulted in the industry becoming more receptive towards fi rst-time job seekers, who had exited the FET colleges.

The oil and gas industry has been identifi ed as a growth sector under the Micro-Economic Development Strategy in the Western Cape. The regional offi ce has therefore established a partnership with the South African Oil and Gas Alliance (SAOGA) and is now a member of the task team which meets regularly to discuss collaborative projects. An exciting project funded by the CHIETA discretionary grant and Chevron has been launched to address some of the skills needed in the province’s oil and gas industry. The stakeholders involved were: Chevron, Northlink FET College, SAOGA and a private training provider. The project aimed to provide skills for 200 learners in the various trade disciplines. Some learners will receive national technical certifi cates and certifi cates of competency, while others will receive credits towards a full qualifi cation. Another noteworthy collaborative project funded by the CHIETA discretionary grant was the indenturing of 50 apprentices in the various sectors. The College of Cape Town played a leading role in securing placements for these prospective artisans.

The Western Cape region will continue to promote participatory and interactive processes among stakeholders in pursuit of the objectives of the National Skills-Development Strategy III. We would like to thank all our stakeholders for their continued support in the skills-development arena, which contributes to the fi ght against unemployment and poverty.

The role of stakeholder relationship management is key to ensuring that the CHIETA’s engagement with both its internal and external stakeholders is optimised and that the CHIETA’s value proposition to all stakeholders is effectively communicated. The Relationship Management Unit continued to ensure that both the CHIETA’s internal and external stakeholders continued to have positive experiences with the CHIETA.

We continued with our drive to make sure that the query resolution and enquiry turnaround times are improved.

In the year under review, efforts to maximise the CHIETA’s brand visibility were initiated. In the year ahead, we will also continue to increase the CHIETA’s visibility and brand identity.

Stakeholder experience

In the period under review, the call centre telephone systems were improved and upgraded. The telephone system upgrade ensured that our call centre agents are responsive to all our clients’ requirements. A lot of focus will also be put on in-house training of the whole team to sharpen their customer service skills. The certification issuing process has also improved. We have witnessed a significant reduction in the number of service-related complaints from our stakeholders.

Brand management

The CHIETA projected and optimised its corporate brand through a number of launches. As the CHIETA seeks to ensure increased public visibility, we will continue to seek opportunities to project and effectively communicate our brand. The CHIETA has gained mileage through the advertorials placed in the national newspapers in the year under review. Strong partnerships have been built and the media has projected the CHIETA and its brand in a fair and balanced way. We shall endeavour, in the year ahead, to increase our visibility even more through a number of initiatives with key radio stations, selected and relevant, targeted strategic business publications, television broadcasts and our own internal electronic newsletter. We will continue to build a strong relationship with all established media partners so that in the year ahead, we can continue to be the trailblazer for skills-development.

Stakeholder Relationship Management


26

The Grants Management Unit processes Mandatory and Discretionary Grants so that member organisations can access funds for training. While the Mandatory Grants programme seeks to mobilise Workplace Skills Plans and encourage organisations to benefit from their levy payment, the Discretionary Grants Programme seeks to provide funding to complement existing training initiatives, expand opportunities to the marginalised and ensure that gaps are filled in addressing national priorities for training and workplace transformation.

Mandatory Grants

Mandatory Grants are paid for the submission of Workplace Skills Plans and Implementation Reports. An overall review of the submission of WSPs and ATRs reports reveals a substantial increase of companies participating. Our Mandatory Levy income was approximately R185 million and we were able to disburse R154 for the financial year 2010/11. That is an 83% disbursement rate.

Discretionary Grants

In 2010/2011 a public announcement was made to invite applications for Discretionary Grants funding Opportunities within the Chemical Industries Sector. About 400 organisations submitted project proposals to the value of approximately R1.3 billion. The CHIETA allocated a total amount of approximately R 89 million for the following Funding Windows: This was based on the availability of funds for this financial year.

All the areas of priority are intended to contribute to the new Department of Higher Education and Training Skills Development priorities. These areas of priority cover a wide scope of possible training and development initiatives. Investment into the strengthening of the state’s system of colleges, universities of technology and universities must be fore grounded so that the capacity to deliver services to an increasing number of learners in future is grown.

The Service Level Agreement to be submitted by the CHIETA to the Department of Higher Education and Training is expected to be structured so that:

• At least 50 % of all SETA discretionary grants are to be allocated to scarce and critical skills

At least 10% of all SETA discretionary grants are to be allocated to programmes which serve the poor and vulnerable, especially the young unemployed.

The most significant achievements of the Discretionary Grants Programme for 2010/2011 are:

1. The change in the profile of organisations to which funds are allocated.2. The variety of worthwhile projects that are being undertaken by member

organisations.3. The impact or knock on effect the programme is having on the availability of

Skills Development opportunities and the number of WSPs to be submitted.

The organisations that are funded are widely disbursed geographically. The projects supported cover a wide variety of Skills Development projects but include projects on HIV/AIDS, Skills Development Research and Youth and Community Development initiatives, Career Guidance programmes for both grade 9,10 &11 the and Career Guidance for FET Institutions. It is anticipated that as a result of the Grants Programme will yield about 14 000 learners and individuals will receive training of high priority in the National Skills Development Strategy.

2010/2011 has been an incredible year for South Africa as well as the CHIETA.As a country, we are still raving about the success stories of hosting the best Soccer World


28

Cup ever. So too, the CHIETA would like to reflect on the progress and success stories of an incredible year. A year of ‘extra-ordinary possibilities’ for our stakeholders and our learners.

These are some of the highlights of 2010/2011 are:

1. CHIETA’S APPROACH TO THE UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEM

While everybody is talking about the problem of almost three million young people between the ages of 15 and 28 being unemployed in the country, CHIETA has adopted a proactive approach to creating a model to address the issue. The CHIETA has launched a project to address unemployment in the Heideveld and Hout Bay communities in Cape Town. The programme is being run with full buy-in of the local communities who are fully supportive of those who are enrolled. Indeed, recruitment has been effected through local community structures who undertake to ensure that the learners stay the course. While CHIETA has made provision for 100 individuals for this pilot, the demand has been so great that already 200 have been enrolled. There are 6 major areas covered during the 4 month period. These are: Communication (including presentations both to others and of oneself), relevant mathematical skills, computer literacy, financial acumen, entrepreneurship and finally the thinking skills that underpin so much of appropriate learning. During this period the learners are also encouraged to volunteer their services (and further develop their skills) in various community structures such as hospitals, day care centres etc. The focus throughout the entire programme is on preparing the participants either for employment or self-employment. One of the keys to making the project work is to mobilize the communities as well as the CHIETA’s stakeholder-base. CHIETA is very excited at the prospects for their pilot projects in the unemployment arena. We remain committed to further funding after the pilot.

2. CHIETA LAUNCHES A DYNAMIC PARTNERSHIP WITH A UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY (CAPE PENINSULA UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY)

The 9th of April 2010 marked the strengthening of a relationship between CHIETA and Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT). The CHIETA provided discretionary grants for workplace experience.

The Launch happened at a time where SETAs were celebrating their 10th year of existence. CHIETA at the beginning of this special year is creating a legacy which would be reflected in the future of each of the learners who will benefit from this funding Grant. The CHIETA has gone to all provinces reaching out to the poor; vulnerable and isolated.The aim being to make such funding opportunities available and accessible to these communities.

This has been done to address what the Minister, Hon. Dr Nzimande emphasized on in his budget speech.

Grants Management continued

29

The CHIETA is taking responsibility to skill and develop those with dreams to be fulfilled.Amongst other things that CHIETA has done to improve the lives of people are:

• Intensifying Artisan training: - running recognition of prior learning project to fast track people in getting trade certificates.

• Rural Development: - reaching out to the poor and under privileged in rural areas.

• The Placement of Learners: - placement of Graduates in the workplace.

3. CHIETA REACHES OUT TO PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES

A pilot project was initiated with people living with disabilities. They range from people who have matriculated and those who have never seen the gates of a school, as well as those who have done Adult Basic Education Training. One of the learners who is also an aspiring gospel musician, said it excited him that he could now finally compose and write his own music.” Braille has given me a new lease on life,” he explained”. The course was not easy at the beginning, but the satisfaction of being able to complete it surpassed the initial difficulties. The Braille teacher said the course involved six weeks of intensive literacy training and six weeks of numeracy training. It was a learning curve for everyone because the students are all from different socio-economic backgrounds. The course let blind learners know that they do not have to feel alone just because they are blind. The Braille course was a foundation to the students’ futures and they now could pursue their studies with a greater chance of being employed.

4. RURAL YOUTH ENTER CHEMICAL SECTOR

BIG smiles were the order of the day when 20 youth from Mogale City’s rural areas were for pushing aside their distressing rural surroundings and pursuing a career in the chemical industry. A launch was held to encourage the budding chemical practitioners and others at the official launch of the Chemical Industries Education and Training Authority (CHIETA) New Venture Creation Programme. We want to continue on a progressive trajectory that was set at the beginning of our term by reinvigorating the rural development agenda, and ensuring that we fast track upliftment of the living standards of our rural communities. This CHIETA initiative fell squarely within this broad objective of improving the lives of communities across Mogale City. Our efforts as a municipality are therefore aimed at strategic preparation of our young people to be able to take advantage of the opportunities of this world renowned country. The New Venture Creation Programme, which is equivalent to the National Qualification Framework (NQF) level 4, is an initiative of Mogale City as the host municipality.

5. HIV/AIDS IN THE WORKPLACE

While business clearly recognises the impact HIV/AIDS has on the workforce, levels of productivity, absenteeism, lowered morale, and increased costs, amongst other outcomes, it is less clear on how to respond. Research has tended to focus on sector or industry level impacts or the impact of HIV/AIDS on business as a whole in South Africa. Organisations, especially SMMEs, are often not sure how this translates into a direct effect for them. It is often difficult to generate an analysis of the effects HIV/AIDS has on one’s current and future business. To this end, an intervention aimed at individual organisations, but taking into account country, sector and industry trends, was developed by Redpeg.

THE STRATEGIC HIV/AIDS WORKPLACE PROGRAMME

The overall aim of the programme, which started in 2008, is to enhance participating companies’ ability to strategically manage HIV/AIDS in the company. For business to respond to HIV/AIDS in the workplace, research, capacity and support are required. Redpeg saw the need for individual organisations to be empowered and capacity built in order to design, develop and implement HIV/AIDS programmes, interventions and policies and strategies. This programme is being rolled out nationally by Redpeg free of charge to participating companies (it is a funded programme). The programme, which takes place over 9-12 months for participating companies, consists of a number of key interventions.

The listed objectives of what people were gaining from the programme were: Better workplace; Better understanding of HIV; Knowledge to share with people; To be a coordinator; To be able to help HIV/AIDS people” – Engineering organisation, Johannesburg

“HIV/AIDS awareness; Understanding; How to draft an HIV/AIDS workplace policy; How to implement a workplace strategy” – Engineering organisation, Durban

“We have lost several staff from HIV related illnesses. If there is more training, education and wellness programmes available. I think that this will be reduced” – Equipment organisation, Johannesburg.

“We now know the importance and effectiveness of having a HIV/AIDS awareness/preventative programme” – Engineering organisation, Durban.

PROSPECTS FOR THE FUTURE

Having established the necessary foundation for providing services and support to al our stakeholders, the Grants Management Unit seeks to consolidate and refine its programmes to our sub-sectors for support and services.

Governance and Support Services Business Unit

A wide range of governance and risk-management interventions were successfully embarked on and achieved for the period under review. It includes the following:

• Conducting of annual risk-management reviews where business units were involved in a participatory process to quality assure the current CHIETA risk register, scoring of relevant inherent and residual risk and business interventions to be implemented in mitigation of organisational risks. This process lays a solid foundation in support of current and future CHIETA business planning processes.

• Successful governing board and board committee meetings were held, which translated into significant board mandates and strategic organisational direction, such as the approval and recommendation of the new CHIETA constitution to the Minister of HET, and approval of the CHIETA strategic plan for the MTEF period 2011/2012 - 2013/2014.

• Conclusion of recommendations to the Minister of HET on new governing board appointments and subsequent approval and announcement of the CHIETA governing board by the Honorable Minister on 8 April 2011.

• Above-average organisational performance on actual target achievement against targets agreed in the CHIETA Service Level Agreement of 2010/2011 with the DHET, illustrating the impact CHIETA made on skills-development initiatives in the chemical sector.

• Commencement of an inclusive and detailed CHIETA Legal Compliance Register, which will enable the continuous monitoring of the organisation’s compliance profile and the remedial interventions needed.

• Performance assessment of the internal and external auditors by the CHIETA audit committee.

• A self-assessment of performance conducted by the CHIETA audit committee.• Positive internal audit report indicating progress around controls and

performance on key business processes.

HUMAN RESOURCES

• The year under review has had it challenges too, and the CHIETA team has learnt many lessons in 2010/2011. Functioning as a learning organisation and an organisational culture underpinned by performance and sustained improvement CHIETA has also drawn positive lessons from the year under review and which is currently standing us in good sted towards the implementation of an Integrated People Management Model to direct organisational behavior and performance towards direct delivery of the NSDS III targets and areas of delivery.

• CHIETA people will always remain our biggest business asset and organisational delivery will be dysfunctional if talent is not continuously nurtured, developed, recognised and retained.

• For the year ahead the CHIETA through a strong participatory and transparent process is also going to involve staff members in a detailed and integrated business planning process on directing organisational focus towards NSDS III delivery. We are confident that this will lay a solid foundation for labour peace and alignment of HR processes towards identified and agreed business deliverables.

• As required in terms of Treasury regulation 18.3.1 and in terms of the CHIETA disciplinary code it is also reported that the CEO, Ms Kelebogile Dilotsotlhe was suspended. Subsequently a separation agreement has been agreed to between CEO and the CHIETA Accounting Authority and subsequently being implemented.

• Under mentioned table indicates our current staff profile in the various occupational groupings of CHIETA.

Unqualified audit opinion:

For the tenth consecutive year since its inception, the CHIETA has obtained an unqualified audit opinion for the financial year ended 31 March 2011. This achievement once again confirms the high levels of integrity of financial management practices and financial accountability within the organisation.

Revenue:

Skills-development levy income earned increased by 11%, from R268.6 million for the year ended 31 March 2010 to R297.2 million for the year ended 31 March 2011. Total revenue earned increased by 8%, from R291.9 million in the prior period to R315.6 million in the current financial year.

The contribution of the return of invested funds to total revenue was R17 million, representing approximately 5% of total revenue.

• Analysis of trends in skills development levy income and member companies. Skills-development levy income has increased substantially since inception.

Total actual SDL income received for the year ended 31 March 2011 was 641% above the SDL income for the year ended 31 March 2001 (for the entire period since inception to date, SDL income has escalated by an annual equivalent average of approximately 27%, materially exceeding both inflation and estimated annual salary increment in the chemical sector in each year). The CHIETA experienced a substantial increase in the number of levy-paying companies since inception to date. The total number of levy-paying companies increased by over 93% from inception to 31 March 2011.

Figure 1

Expenditure:

Administrative expenditure remained within the legislated 10% maximum allowed by the skills-development funding regulations. The CHIETA realised a saving of over R1.8 million on administration expenses for the fi nancial year ended 31 March 2010. This amount, together with the total investment return of R17 million and unclaimed mandatory grants to the value of R31.4 million was transferred to the discretionary reserve at year end, to be utilised for discretionary grants and identifi ed projects for sector skills priorities.

Employer grants and project expenditure decreased by 1% during the fi nancial year from R242-9 million in 2010 to R239.4 million for the year ended 31 March 2011. Expenses on mandatory grants represented 83% of the skills-development levy income received for the purposes of mandatory grants. An amount of R74.3 million was earned as discretionary grant levy income and R85.1 million was expensed in discretionary grants and projects during the period.

• Financial viability and going concern.

Figure 2 shows administration income received against administration expenditure from 2001 to 2011. The CHIETA has sustained its level of operations within the 10% legislated administration provision in each year since inception without compromising achievement of its SLA and strategic objectives. Savings in actual operational expenditure from 2001 to 2011 of over R26.4 million was reallocated to discretionary reserves and utilised in discretionary grants for chemical sector skills priorities. These savings are attributed to continuous development of expenditure control and procurement practices within the CHIETA as well as streamlined, effective and effi cient human resource capacity.

• Levy Grant Disbursement as per NSDS targets exceeded over the period of existence.

The CHIETA has exceeded its NSDS targets for grant disbursement for each year since inception.

Figure 3 shows the total SDL income received for grants in each year since inception compared to the total grant and project expenses during this period. The CHIETA has achieved an average disbursement rate of over 90% for the entire period since inception.

Funds, reserves and commitments:

An amount of R33.3 million was transferred to the discretionary reserve to be utilised for discretionary grants and sector prioritised projects based on national and sector skills development priorities and on scarce and critical skills identified. The total funds available in the discretionary reserve increased by R40.7 million from R243.6 million at 31 March 2010 to R284.4 million at 31 March 2011. Of the R284.4 million in the discretionary reserve as at 31 March 2011, R156.8 million is committed to discretionary grants for which substantial contractual obligations have been met. A further amount of R140 million is in the process of allocation by the discretionary grant review committee and a further amount of R36 million has been allocated to strategic projects and skills priorities.

The report of the Audit Committee has been prepared in accordance with the Treasury Regulations for Public Entities 27.1.7 and 27.1.10 (b) and (c) issued in terms of the Public Finance Management Act 1 of 1999, as amended by Act 29 of 1999.

We are pleased to present our report for the financial year ended 31 March 2011.

Audit Committee Responsibilities

The Audit Committee reports that it has adopted appropriate formal terms of reference as its audit committee charter, has regulated its affairs in compliance with this charter as well as the recommendations of the King III code of Corporate Governance, and has discharged all its responsibilities as contained therein.

The system of controls within the CHIETA is designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and that liabilities and working capital are properly managed in line with the PFMA and the Protocol on Corporate Governance for public entities. This is achieved by means of the risk management process, as well as the identification of corrective actions and suggested enhancements to the controls and processes.

From the various reports of the Internal Auditors, the Audit Report on the Annual Financial Statements and the management letter of the Auditor-General, we conclude that the existing control environment requires improvement in order to provide a reasonable

Report of the Audit Committee for the year ended 31 March 2011

51

assurance that the organisation’s goals and objectives are being achieved. There are areas that have been highlighted in various reports of the Internal Audit and the Auditor-General, where the internal control systems require corrective action. The Audit Committee will monitor management’s progress in urgently resolving these matters on a regular basis, as required in terms of the Audit Committee Charter

Evaluation of financial statements

The Audit Committee has:

• Reviewed and discussed the Audited Annual Financial Statements to be included in the annual report with the Auditor-General and the Accounting Authority;

• Reviewed the Auditor-General’s management report and management’s response thereto; and

• Reviewed adjustments resulting from the audit.

The Audit Committee concurs and accepts the Auditor-General’s conclusion on the annual financial statements and is of the opinion that the Audited Annual Financial Statements be accepted and read together with the report of the Auditor-General.

Report of the Auditor-General

REPORT OF THE AUDITOR-GENERAL TO THE PARLIAMENT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES EDUCATION AND TRAINING AUTHORITY

REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Introduction

1. I have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Chemical Industries Education and Training Authority which comprise the statement of financial performance, the statement of financial position as at 31 March 2011, statement of changes in net assets, cash flow statement for the year then ended, a summary of significant accounting policies and the accounting authority’s report as set out on pages 56 to 99.

Accounting authority’s responsibility for the financial statements

2. The accounting authority is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the Standards of Generally Recognised Accounting Practices and the requirements of the Public Finance Management Act, and for such internal control as management determines necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor-General’s responsibility

3. As required by section 188 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 (Act No. 108 of 1996) and section 4 of the Public Audit Act of South Africa, 2004 (Act No. 25 of 2004) (PAA) and section 40(2) of the Public Finance Management Act 1999 (Act No. 1 of 1999), my responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.

4. I conducted my audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and General Notice 1111 of 2010 issued in Government Gazette 33872 of 15 December 2010. Those standards require that I comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

5. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant

53


to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

6. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion.

Opinion

7. In my opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Chemical Industries Education and Training Authority as at 31 March 2011, and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with South African standards of Generally Recognised Accounting Practice and in the matter required by the Public Finance Management Act of South Africa.

Emphasis of matter

8. I draw attention to the matters below. My opinion is not modified in respect of these matters:

Irregular, Fruitless and wasteful expenditure

9. As disclosed in note 18 to the financial statements, CHIETA incurred fruitless and wasteful expenditure of R1 828 763 relating to rent paid for property which was not occupied. Furthermore, the entity incurred irregular expenditure of R584 339 as the expenditure incurred was in contravention of Treasury Regulation 16A.6.1 and 16A.6.4 relating to supply chain management.

Contingent liabilities

10. As disclosed in note 23 to the financial statements, CHIETA is a defendant in a legal case instituted against the entity during the year under review. At the date of this report the outcome of this case was unknown, thus CHIETA disclosed a contingent liability of R7 771 924.

11. As disclosed in note 23 to the financial statements, CHIETA signed a guarantee of R561 492 which was in respect of the lease rental of property not occupied.


54


Contingent asset

12. As disclosed in note 23 to the financial statements, CHIETA has instituted a counter claim of R1 706 936 being in respect of the recovery of the lease rentals paid on property not occupied.

REPORT ON OTHER LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

13. In accordance with the PAA and in terms of General Notice 1111 of 2010, issued in Government Gazette 33872 of 15 December 2010, I include below my findings on the annual performance report as set out on pages 36 to 45 and material non-compliance with laws and regulations applicable to the entity.

Predetermined objectives

14. There were no material findings on the annual performance report concerning the presentation, usefulness and reliability of the information.

Compliance with laws and regulations

Procurement and contract management

15. Goods and services with a transaction value of between R10 000 and R500 000 were procured without inviting at least three written price quotations from prospective suppliers, as per the requirement of Practice Note 8 of 2007-08 issued in terms of section 76(4)(c) of the PFMA.

Report of the Accounting Authorityfor the year ended 31 March 2011

26 May 2011

Report by the Accounting Authority to the Executive Authority/Provincial Legislature and Parliament of the Republic of South Africa.

1. General review of the state of affairs

During the period under review, the Chemical Industries Education and Training Authority (CHIETA) realised an 11% increase in skills-development levy income in comparison to the levy income earned for the year ended 31 March 2011. Return on invested funds accounted for R17 million of total revenue, and decreased by 7.7% from the previous year due to the substantially lower average interest rates available on short-term money market investments during the financial year.

The CHIETA expensed over R239.4 million in employer grants and project expenses representing more than 92% of available grant levy income of approximately R260.1 million for the financial year ended 31 March 2011.

The CHIETA administration expenditure remained within the 10% margin prescribed by the skills-development regulations, and administration savings of over R1.8 million were transferred to the discretionary fund reserve at 31 March 2011.

During the year under review, applications for discretionary grants were once again oversubscribed. After evaluation according to the established criteria, awards of more than R89 million were approved. The nature of initiatives supported included:

• Programmes supporting learners on registered learnerships and workplace experience;

• Supporting of scarce and critical skills; and• Honouring apprenticeship and artisan training commitments and prioritising

new apprenticeship programmes.

It is the opinion of the accounting authority that the expenditure incurred during the year under review has been well-accounted for and that the projects and programmes undertaken have considerably benefited the chemical industries sector.


58


2. Services rendered by the public entity and tariff policy

The CHIETA is a schedule 3A public entity enacted by the Minister of Labour in terms of the Skills-Development Act and governed by the Public Finance Management Act No.1 of 1999, as amended. The CHIETA facilitates skills-development in the chemical sector. No tariff is charged for services rendered. The CHIETA is funded through skills-development levies contributed in terms of the Skills-Development Act by employers in the chemical industries sector.

3. Capacity constraints

While certain capacity constraints were experienced by the organisation for the year under review, these did not impact on the ultimate delivery by the CHIETA to its stakeholders, nor was the achievement of our strategic objectives compromised.

4. Utilisation of donor funds

No donor funds were received or expended by the CHIETA for the year under review.

5. Business address

2 Clamart Road, Richmond, Johannesburg, 2193.

6. Controlled entities and public entities

The CHIETA does not exercise control over any other entities, agencies, organisations or public entities.

7. Other organisations to whom transfer payments have been made

No transfer payments were made by the CHIETA to any other party during the period under review.

8. Public private partnerships (PPP)

No public private partnerships were entered into during the period under review.

9. Discontinued activities/activities to be discontinued

No discontinued activities or closure of any major part of the business have occurred during the financial period under review.

59


10. New/proposed activities

No new activities have been proposed.

11. Re-licensing

The CHIETA has been re-established for a five-year period until 31 March 2016.

12. Corporate governance

12.1 Corporate governance and compliance with the PFMA

The CHIETA has implemented the recommendations of the Public Finance Management Act and the King Report on Corporate Governance. The CHIETA audit committee met regularly during the financial year in order to perform, inter-alia the following:

• The oversight role over the internal audit function; • Review of the CHIETA’s financial statements and management accounts;• Assessment and review of a fraud-prevention plan and code of ethics; • Annual independent review and update of policies, procedures and PFMA

compliance by the internal and external audit function;• Annual risk-assessment and update; and• Tracking and implementation of internal audit recommendations by audit

committee and governance structures.

12.2 Financial risk-management and systems of control

Section 38(a) of the PFMA requires the accounting authority of a public entity to implement and maintain effective, efficient and transparent systems of financial and risk-management and internal controls. The CHIETA has developed detailed financial policies and procedures, and a quality-management system to guide internal processes. The CHIETA has implemented various measures to ensure that public funds are managed as required by the PFMA, treasury regulations, other applicable acts and regulations. The internal and external auditors’ also conduct regular compliance reviews. While the CHIETA has maintained a robust and effective control environment, policy deviations and unauthorised instructions emanating from the former CEO’s office resulted in certain controls being compromised. These were, however, timeously identified and responded to, mitigating the resultant risk.


60


12.3 Expenditure control and procurement framework

The CHIETA has developed a robust framework for expenditure control, governed by various policies, procedures, delegations and systems, which are updated on a regular basis. A supply-chain management policy framework is fully implemented in line with the preferential procurement practice framework act and supply-chain management regulations. These policies and procedures are reviewed regularly by the CHIETA staff, internal auditors and the procurement committee, and adjusted to ensure that current updates in procurement practices are adhered to by the entity.

12.4 CHIETA infrastructure and security over assets and income

The CHIETA net asset base was approximately R290 million at 31 March 2011. Total net assets increased by approximately R40.7 million as at the financial year ended 31 March 2011.

12.5 Governing board and executive committee meetings

Governing board members attend quarterly meetings and discuss strategic matters focusing on delivery of the CHIETA mandate.

12.6 Voluntary commitment to NSDS by the CHIETA board members

The CHIETA governing board members did not receive any remuneration for their services on the CHIETA governance structures. This is a strong indication of the mutual commitment and partnerships established within the chemical sector, and the CHIETA management structures.

12.7 Promotion of accountability and transparency

12.7.1 Audit Committee

The Audit Committee functions in terms of section 47 of the PFMA and performs a critical governance function. As with the board, its constitutional structure and operation have been considered in relation to best practice recommendations in terms of the King Report and the protocols on corporate governance.

12.7.2 Management committee

Through involvement with day-to-day business activities, the CHIETA chief executive officer and the management team are responsible for ensuring that decisions, strategies and views of the board are implemented.

61


12.7.3 Employees

The Human Resources Strategy is founded on human capital development. It also addresses issues that create the conditions and opportunities for previously disadvantaged individuals to take their rightful place at all levels.

12.7.4 Employment equity

There is continual monitoring and enforcement of employment equity practices.

13. Events after balance sheet date

As required in terms of Treasury regulation 18.3.1 and in terms of the CHIETA disciplinary code it is also reported that the CEO, Ms Kelebogile Dilotsotlhe was suspended. Subsequently a separation agreement has been agreed to between CEO and the CHIETA Accounting Authority and subsequently being implemented.

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below and are, in all material respects, consistent with those of the previous year, except as otherwise stated.

1.6 The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except where adjusted for present fair values as required by the relevant accounting standard.

1.7 Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, as the CHIETA does not see any reason to significantly curtail its operations in the foreseeable future.

69


2.1 Currency

These financial statements are presented in South African rands as this is the currency in which the entity’s transactions are denominated. Figures have been rounded off to the nearest thousand (R’000).

3.1 Revenue recognition

Skills-Development Levy (SDL) transfers are recognised when it is probable that future economic benefit will flow to the SETA and these benefits can be measured reliably. This occurs when the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET), either makes an allocation or payment, whichever comes first, to the SETA as required by section 8 of the Skills-Development Levies Act, 1999 (Act No. 9 of 1999).Skills-Development levies are recognised at the fair value of the consideration received.

3.2 Levy income

In terms of section 3(1) and 3(4) of the Skills-Development Levies Act, 1999 (Act No. 9 of 1999), registered member companies of the SETA pay a skills-development levy of 1% of the total payroll cost to the South African Revenue Services (SARS).

80% of skills-development levies are paid over to the SETA (net of the 20% contribution to the National Skills Fund).

Revenue is adjusted for inter-SETA transfers due to employers changing SETA’s. Such adjustments are disclosed separately as inter-SETA transfers. The amount of the inter-SETA adjustment is calculated according to the Standard Operating Procedures issued by the Department of Labour in June 2001.

When a new employer is transferred to the SETA, the levies transferred by the former SETA are recognised as revenue and allocated to the respective category to maintain its original identity.

3.3 Interest and penalties

Interest and penalties on the skills-development levy is recognised on the accrual basis.


70


3.4 Funds allocated by the National Skills Authority for special projects

Funds transferred by the National Skills Authority are accounted for in the financial statements of the SETA as a liability until the related eligible special project expense are incurred, when the liability is extinguished and revenue recognised.

Property, plant and equipment acquired for the project are capitalised in the financial statements as the SETA controls such assets for the duration of the project. Such assets can however only be disposed of in terms of agreement and specific written instructions by the National Skills Authority.

3.5 Government grants and other donor income

Conditional government grants and other conditional donor funding received are recorded as deferred income when it becomes receivable and are then recognised as income on a systematic basis over the period necessary to match the grants with the related costs which it was intended to compensate. Unconditional grants received are recognised when the amounts have been received.

3.6 Investment income

Interest income is accrued on a time-proportion basis, taking into account the principal amount outstanding and the effective interest rate over the period to maturity.

4.1 Grants and project expenditure

A registered company may recover a maximum of 50% of its total levy payment by complying with the grant criteria in accordance with the Skills-Development Regulations issued in terms of the Skills-Development Act 1999 (Act No. 9 of 1999).

Mandatory grants

The grant payable and the related expenditure are recognised when the employer has submitted an application for a grant in the prescribed form by 30 June 2010. The grant is equivalent to 50% of the total levies paid by the employer during the corresponding financial period for the skills planning grant and implementation grant.

71


Discretionary grants and project expenditure

The funding for discretionary grants and projects comprise 20% of the total levies paid by the employers, levy grants that are not claimed by employers, the surplus of administration levies not utilised, investment income and other income generated by the SETA.

A SETA may out of any surplus monies determine and allocate discretionary grants to employers, education and training providers and workers of the employers who have submitted an application for a discretionary grant in the prescribed form within the agreed cut-off period.

Project expenditure comprise:

- costs that relate directly to the specific contract;

- costs that are attributable to contract activity in general and can be allocated to the project; and

- such other costs as specifically chargeable to the SETA under the terms of the contract.

Such costs are allocated using methods that are systematic and rational and are applied consistently to all costs having similar characteristics.

Project costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. A receivable is recognised net of a provision for irrecoverable amounts for incentive and other payments made to the extent of expenses not yet incurred in terms of the contract.

5.1 Irregular and fruitless and wasteful expenditure

Irregular expenditure means expenditure incurred in contravention of, or not in accordance with a requirement of any applicable legislation. Fruitless and wasteful expenditure means expenditure that was made in vain and would have been avoided had reasonable care been exercised. All irregular and fruitless and wasteful expenditure is charged against income in the period in which they are incurred.


72


6.1 Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method to write-off the cost of each asset over its estimated useful life.

- Computer equipment 50%

- Office furniture and fittings 10%

- Office equipment 10%

The depreciation charge is to depreciate the book value over the useful life of the asset to its assessed residual value. Depreciation is calculated and provided for on an annual basis. If the residual value of an asset is at least equal to its carrying amount, depreciation will cease.

The expected useful life of assets within each class differs, since all the assets are expected to be in use over the life of the SETA. The depreciation of assets commences on the date that the asset is available for use, even if it is not yet in use.

The estimated useful life of the assets are limited to the remaining period of the licence issued to the CHIETA by the Minister of Labour. For the current year the remaining period is five years (2010: one year). Useful life of assets are re-assessed at the end of each financial year.

The following factors were considered to determine the useful life of the asset:

• Expected usage of the asset;

• Expected physical wear and tear of the asset;

• Technical obsolescence; and

• Legal or other limits on the use of the asset.

Where the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, it is written down immediately to its recoverable amount (i.e. impairment losses are recognised).

73


Gains and losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined by reference to their carrying amount and are taken into account in determining operating profit.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets held for use are stated in the balance sheet at amortised cost, being the initial cost price less any amortisation and impairment.

Amortisation is charged so as to write off the cost of intangible assets over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method as following:

- Computer software 50%

The useful lives of intangible assets are reassessed at the end of each financial year.

7.1 Finance and operating lease agreements

Leases of assets under which all the risks and benefits of ownership are effectively retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the income statement based on actual straight lined and accrued payments. When an operating lease is terminated before the lease period has expired, any payment required to be made to the lessor by way of penalty is recognised as an expense in the period in which termination take place.

8.1 Retirement benefit costs

The SETA provides for retirement benefits for all its permanent employees through a defined contribution scheme that is subject to the Pension Funds Act, 1956 as amended. In terms of the Pension Funds Act, the fund is not required to be actuarially valued. Contributions are at a rate of 14.88% of pensionable emoluments.

The SETA’s contribution to the defined contribution plans is charged to the income statement in the year to which they relate and no future liability exists for the CHIETA.


74


9.1 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the SETA has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, and it is probable that this will result in an outflow of economic benefits that can be estimated reliably.

9.2 Provision for employee entitlements

The cost of other employee benefits is recognised during the period in which the employee renders the related service. Employee entitlements are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability as a result of services rendered by employees up to the balance sheet date. Provisions included in the balance sheet are provisions for leave (based on the current salary rates), bonuses and termination benefits.

9.3 Provision for grants

A provision is recognised for grant payments once the specific criteria set out in the regulations to the Skills-Development Act, 97 of 1998 have been complied with by member companies and it is probable that the SETA will approve the payment. The measurement of the obligation involves an estimate based on the established pattern of past practice of approval for each type of grant.

No provision is made for projects approved at year-end, unless the service in terms of the contract has been delivered or the contract is of an onerous nature. Where a project has been approved, but has not been accrued for or provided for, it is disclosed as commitments in the notes to the financial statements.

10.1 Financial instruments

Recognition

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the SETA’s balance sheet when the SETA becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Measurement

Financial instruments are initially measured at cost, which includes transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition these instruments are measured as set out below.

75


10.2 Financial assets

The SETA’s principle financial assets are accounts and other receivable and cash and cash equivalents.

Investments and loans

The following categories of investments are measured at subsequent reporting dates at amortised cost by using the effective interest rate method if they have a fixed maturity, or at cost if there is no fixed maturity:

- Loans and receivables originated by the group; - Held-to-maturity investments; and - An investment that does not have a quoted market price in an active market

and whose fair value cannot be measured reliably.

Cost and amortised cost are inclusive of any impairment loss recognised to reflect irrecoverable amounts. The financial assets are subject to review for impairment at each balance sheet date.

Investments other than those listed above are classified as available-for-sale investments or investments held-for-trading and are measured at subsequent reporting dates at fair value without any deduction for transaction costs that may be incurred on sale or other disposal.

Accounts and other receivables

Accounts and other receivables are stated at amotised cost as reduced by appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are measured at fair value.

10.3 Financial liabilities

The SETA’s principal financial liabilities are accounts and other payables.

All financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost, comprising original debts less principle payments and amortisations, except for financial liabilities held-for trading and derivative liabilities, which are subsequently measured at fair value.


76


Gains and losses arising from a change in the fair value of financial instruments, other than available-for-sale financial assets are included in net profit or loss in the period in which it arises. Gains and losses arising from a change in the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets are recognised in equity, until the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, at which time the net profit or loss is included in the net profit or loss for the period.

A financial asset or a portion thereof is derecognised when the SETA realises the contractual rights to the benefits specified in the contract, the rights expire, the SETA surrenders those rights or otherwise loses control of the contractual rights that comprise the financial asset. On derecognition, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial asset and the sum of the proceeds receivable and any prior adjustment to reflect the fair value of the asset that had been reported in equity is included in net profit or loss for the period. A financial liability or a part thereof is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled, or expires. On derecognition, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability, including related unamortised costs, and the amount paid for it is included in net profit or loss for the period.

The fair values at which financial instruments are carried at the balance sheet date have been determined using available market values. Where market values are not available, fair values have been calculated by discounting expected future cash flows at prevailing interest rates. The fair values have been estimated using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies, but are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the SETA could realise in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities with a maturity of less than one year are assumed to approximate their fair value due to the short-term trading cycle of these items.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset if there is any intention to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously and a legally enforceable right to offset exists.

11.1 Reserves

Equity is sub-classified in the balance sheet between the following funds and reserves:

- Administration reserve

- Employer grant reserve

- Discretionary reserve

This sub-classification is made based on the restrictions placed on the distribution of monies received in accordance with the regulations issued in terms of the Skills-Development Act, 1998 (Act No. 97 of 1998).

Member employer company levy payments are set aside in terms of the Skills-Development Act and the regulations issued in terms of the Act, for the purpose of:

2010/2011 2009/2010

% %

Administration costs of the SETA 10 10

Employer Grant Fund Levy 50 50

Mandatory Workplace Skills Planning Grant 50 50

Discretionary grants and projects 20 20

80 80

In addition, contributions received from public service employers in the national or provincial spheres of government may be used to pay for its administration costs.

Interest and penalties received from SARS as well as interest received on investments are utilised for discretionary grants and projects. Other income received is utilised in accordance with the original source of the income.

The net surplus/deficit is allocated to the administration reserve, the mandatory grant reserve and the discretionary fund reserve based on the above table.

Surplus funds are moved to the discretionary fund reserve from the administration reserve based on unspent funds at year-end and from the mandatory grant based on unclaimed grants after the prescribed timeframes have elapsed.

11.2 Related parties

CHIETA operates in an economic environment currently dominated by entities directly or indirectly owned by the South African government. All national departments of government and state-controlled entities are regarded as related parties in accordance with Circular 4 of 2005: Guidance on the term “state-controlled entities” in context of IAS 24 (AC 126) – Related Parties, issued by the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants. Other related-party transactions are also disclosed in terms of the requirements of the accounting standard.

11.3 Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The cost of inventories of items that are not ordinarily interchangeable and goods or services produced and segregated for specific projects is assigned using specific identification of the individual costs.

The cost of inventories is assigned using the first in first out (FIFO)/weighted average formula. The same cost formula is used for all inventories having a similar nature and use to the entity.

When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realisable value and all losses of inventories are recognised as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs.

11.4 Commitments and contingencies

Commitments comprise those future expenses that the CHIETA has committed itself to contractually, but for which a present obligation for the payment thereof does not exist at the reporting date. Accordingly, these commitments are not recognised as liabilities but are disclosed in the notes to the annual financial statements. Please refer to note 17.

18. MATERIAL LOSSES THROUGH CRIMINAL CONDUCT, IRREGULAR, FRUITLESS AND WASTEFUL EXPENDITURE

Irregular, Fruitless and Wasteful Expenditure:

A material loss through irregular, fruitless and wasteful expenditure of R1 828 763.76 was incurred during the year ended 31 March 2011. The former CHIETA CEO entered into a lease agreeement in the current financial year for office premises with an effective commencement date of 1 April 2010. The accounting authority has investigated the validity and financial viability of the lease agreement and whether it was in the interest of the CHIETA. As a result, the accounting authority came to the view that the agreement is indeed not financially viable and not in the interest of CHIETA Consequently, the accounting authority resolved that the former CHIETA CEO withdraws from the lease entered into with the Landlord. As at 31 March 2011, a total amount of R1 746 497.44 relating to monthly rental for the period 1 April 2010 to 30 November 2010 has was expended on the above premises. A further amount of R82 266.32 was also incurred on development, design and improvement expenditure on the above property during the period.

Overide of the CHIETA policy also resulted in expenditure in relation to the former CHIETA CEO’s cellphone and travel expenditure as follows:

Cellphone allowance in excess of policy of R55 111.35 and travel expenses not in compliance with policy of R2 622.

An amount of R584 339 is deemed to be incurred as irregular expenditure as no supporting documentation confirming proper supply chain procedures on the appointment of the CHIETA legal advisor by the former CEO could be presented for audit.

Reconciliation of irregular, fruitless and wasteful expenditure:

Credit risk

Financial assets, which potentially subject the CHIETA to the risk of non performance by counter parties and thereby subject to credit concentrations of credit risk, consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, investments and accounts receivable. The CHIETA management limits its treasury counter-party exposure by only dealing with well-established financial institutions approved by National Treasury through the approval of their investment policy in terms of Treasury Regulations.

Credit risk with respect to levy paying employers is limited due to the nature of the income received. The CHIETA does not have any material exposure to any individual or counter-party. The CHIETAs concentration of credit risk is limited to the industry in which the CHIETA operates. No events occurred in the industry during the financial year that may have an impact on the accounts receivable that has not been adequately provided for. Accounts receivable are presented net of allowance for doubtful debt.

Liquidity risk

The CHIETA manages liquidity risk through proper management of working capital, capital expenditure and actual vs. forecasted cash flows.

Market risk

The CHIETA is exposed to fluctuations in the employment market for example sudden increases in unemployment and changes in the wage rates. No significant events occurred during the year that the CHIETA are aware of.

Fair values

The CHIETA’s financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, account and other receivables, and account and other payables. No financial instruments were carried at an amount in excess of its fair value. The following methods and assumptions are used to determine the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

Cash and cash equivalents

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the relatively short-term maturity of these financial assets.

Accounts receivable

The carrying amount of accounts receivable, net of allowance for bad debt, approximates fair value due to the relatively short-term maturity of these financial assets.

Accounts payable

The carrying amount of account and other payables approximates fair value due to the relatively short-term maturity of these financial liabilities.

The unfavourable variance in skills-development levy income is due to a lower than anticipated return of levies from member companies. The CHIETA budgeted for an 18% increase in levy income for the financial year, and received a 11% increment. Based on an analyses of levy income it appears that the employee base in the sector continued to expand during the period in excess of the inflationary target. National skills fund income was lower than budget due to the finalisation and closure of the OGCM artisan training project at the during the year. The unfavourable variance on the Employer grant project expenses was due to the lower than projected discretionary grant disbursement for the financial year.

23. CONTINGENCIES

Contingent Liabilities:

The CHIETA is currently defending a claim in the capital sum of R7 771 924 made against the CHIETA by Cedar Park Properties (Pty) Ltd pertaining to the alleged repudiation of the lease agreement entered into by the former CHIETA CEO. The pending legal matter is currently in the pleading stage and management is uncertain of the outcome of the litigation. As reported in the prior year report of the Auditor - General (SA) and contrary to the requirements of section 66(3)(b) of the PFMA, the former CEO of CHIETA signed a guarantee with the bank without the approval of the accounting authority. An amount of R561 492 relating to the bank guarantee signed by the former CEO is subject to legal discusiions with the landlord. The total extent of penalties or recovery of expenses that the CHIETA will be subjected to could not be quantified, pending finalisation of legal correspondence and discussiion with the landlord.

Contingent Asset:

The CHIETA have instituted a counterclaim in the capital sum of R1 706 936 against Cedar Park Properties relating to the recovery of lease rentals that were transferred to Cedar Park properties via a debit order agreement entered into by the former CHIETA CEO.The pending legal matter is currently in the pleading stage and management is uncertain of the outcome of the litigation.

1. Objective

The policy is intended to determine material and significant events that warrant disclosure by the Accounting Authority to:

• The Executive Authority/legislature;• The National Treasury; and• The office of the Auditor-General.

Therefore events of a similar nature as considered material and significant, but does not constitute material and significant will be managed “in-house” by the Accounting Authority in terms of formal enquiries and disciplinary processes defined by the human resources policies and procedures.

2. Legal framework

In terms of Treasury Regulations, section 28.1.5, issued in terms of the Public Finance Management Act No 1 of 1999, the Accounting Authority must develop and agree to a framework of acceptable levels of materiality and significance with the relevant executive authority in consultation with the external auditors.

The specific sections of the Public Finance Management Act that is relevant to:

Materiality includes:

• Section 50(1)(c) – “The Accounting Authority for a public entity must on request, disclose to the Executive Authority responsible for that public entity or the legislature to which the public entity is accountable, all material facts, including those reasonably discoverable, which in any way influence the decision or actions of the Executive Authority or that legislature.”

• Section 55(2)(b)(i) – “The annual report and financial statements must include particulars of any material losses through criminal conduct and any irregular expenditure and fruitless and wasteful expenditure that occurred during the financial year.”

• Section 66(1) – “An institution to which this Act applies may not borrow money or issue a guarantee, indemnity or security, or enter into any other transaction that binds or may bind that institution or the Revenue Fund to any future financial commitment, unless such borrowing, guarantee, indemnity, security, or other transaction:–

» Is authorised by this Act; » In the case of public entities, is also authorised by other legislation not in

conflict with this Act; and


102


» In the case of loans by a province or a provincial government business enterprise under the ownership control of a provincial executive, that they are within the limits as set out in terms of the Borrowing Powers of Provincial Governments Act, 1996 (Act No 48 of 1996).”

Significance is:-

• Section 54(2) – “Before a public entity concludes any of the following transactions, the Accounting Authority for the public entity must promptly and in writing inform the relevant treasury of the transaction and submit relevant particulars of the transaction to its Executive Authority for approval of the transaction –

» Establishment or participation in the establishment of a company; » Participation in a significant partnership, trust, unincorporated joint venture

or similar arrangement; » Acquisition or disposal of a significant asset; » Commencement or cessation of a significant business activity; and » A significant change in the nature or extent of its interest in a significant

partnership, trust, unincorporated joint venture or similar arrangement.”

3. Factors considered in developing the framework

The following factors were considered in determining the framework:

• Nature of the business

Given the nature of the organisation’s activities i.e. –

» The creation and registration of national standards and qualifications in the sector and sub-sectors;

» To curriculate, assess, certify and manage performance in the sector to ensure targeted and generic service skills;

» To ensure that a quality learning provision is maintained throughout the sector;

» To create and maintain a database to target generic and specific skills development;

» To engage in learnerships and skills programme activities; and » To implement the sector skills plan.

A lower level of materiality is considered appropriate.

103


• Statutory requirements

The organisation is a public entity, as contained in schedule 3A of the Public Finance Management Act, and as such is governed by legislation applicable to government entities. Such legislation is therefore prepared in terms of good corporate governance and is intended to govern finance, supply-chain management, asset management etc, within the organisation. In light of this, the probability of a material or significant infringement is considered unlikely.

• Governance structure

The Accounting Authority (governing board) is represented by its stakeholders i.e. organised employer and employee representation from the sector. The Accounting Authority, in terms of legislation is accountable for the performance and governance of the organisation to the Executive Authority (Minister of Labour). In terms of governance, the organisation is further directed by the Audit Committee (external members), the external auditors (the Auditor-General’s office), the internal auditors (external firm of auditors).

In view of the external participation in the operations of the organisation, it is considered appropriate to have a lower level of materiality.

• Control and inherent risks

The following factors were examined in determining the control and inherent risk in the organisation:

» Annual risk assessment; » Three-year internal audit plan; » Fraud-prevention plan; » Appropriate procurement policy and modalities; » The implementation and adoption of a quality management system; » Technical competence, skills and experience of staff engaged in the decision-

making process; and » Structure of the Audit Committee with reference to the King Code of Corporate

Governance.

In terms of the control and inherent risks, a lower level of materiality is considered appropriate.


104


• Qualitative factors

Materiality is only related to the size of and the elements of the financial statements. Misstatements that are large individually or in aggregate may affect a reasonable user’s assessment. Misstatements may also be material on qualitative grounds. The organisation has considered the following qualitative factors:

» Unusual transactions entered into that are not of a repetitive nature and are disclosable due to the nature and the knowledge thereof, affecting the decision-making of the users of financial statements;

» Sizable increase in the stakeholder base i.e. more member companies contributing SDL to the organisation;

» Fraudulent or dishonest behaviour of ALL officers or staff of the organisation. Any rand value will warrant disclosure;

» Operations in regions that are economically unstable or the expansion into new locations;

» Operations exposed to volatile markets; » Going concern and liquidity including loss of significant stakeholders; » Constraints on the availability of capital and credit; » Changes in the industry in which the entity operates; » Developing or offering new products or services; » Entities or business segments likely to be traded or lost; » Complex alliances and joint ventures; » Changes in key personnel including departure of key executives; » Changes in the IT environment; » Pending litigation and contingent liabilities; » Public accountability to stakeholders, parliament, auditors and the community

at large; » The sensitivity of the organisation’s financial information in making decisions; » Inadequate policies and procedures to mislead users; » Material infringement of legislation; » The imposition of regularity restrictions that can impair operating capabilities; » Any transaction entered into that could result in reputation risk; and » Application of new or changes in accounting policy.

4. Materiality

Definition Information is material if its omission or misstatement could influence the economic

decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements. Materiality depends on the size of the item or error judged in the particular circumstances

105


of its omission or misstatement. Thus materiality provides a threshold or cut-off point, rather than being a primary qualitative characteristic which information must have if it is to be useful.

Materiality level The level of a material loss is assessed at 1% of budgeted total revenue (NSF

revenue and VAT excluded, includes levy income, interest and penalties and any other income).

Different levels of materiality can be used and the decision to use a conservative level of 1%, irrespective of whether the transaction/event relates to assets, liabilities, or reserves, is based on the fact that the total assets of the organisation are not considered to be an indicator of performance as the organisation is not an asset- intensive entity. And the revenue component is selected as a basis for the materiality calculation as the level of activity (grant and discretionary disbursements) is dependent on the total revenue received.

5. Significant

Definition

A transaction is significant if conducting the transaction is vitally important to fulfill the organisation’s mandate and for it to operate effectively.

Significance is larger than materiality as significant transactions may impact on the organisation as a whole. A transaction may be material but not significant, whereas all significant transactions are material.

Significance level

The organisation will promptly and in writing inform the National Treasury of the transaction and submit the relevant particulars of the transaction to its Executive Authority for approval of the transaction. The following transactions will be regarded as significant and will require full disclosure:

• Establishment or participation in the establishment of a company;• Participation in a significant partnership, trust, unincorporated joint venture or

similar arrangement;• Acquisition or disposal of a significant asset;• Commencement or cessation of a significant business activity; and• A significant change in the nature or extent of its interest in a significant

partnership, trust, unincorporated joint venture or similar arrangement.


106


6. Reporting of the framework

The materiality and significance framework must be updated yearly, preferably before the financial year commences to ensure the identification of material and significant transactions. The framework will further be developed in consultation with the external auditors.

The framework will be included into the:

• Corporate/strategic plan; and• Annual report.

The framework will be disclosed as contained in annexure attached.
