* - Biological assets were added to the books at the end of the financial year by using the replacement costs as the deemed cost at the end of the year. It was impracticable to correctly determine the effect of the prior period error as the value of these biological assets was determined at year end using their conditions, weight and health and it was impossible to determine the same criteria for prior periods.

During the year no items of property, plant and equipment were pledged as security.By the date that the financial statements were authorised for issue there were no contractual commitments for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment.

7.2 Heritage assetsDMSA has applied the transitional provisions set out in Directive 2 “Transitional Provisions for Public Entities, Trading Entities, Municipal Entities and Constructional Institutions”. Directive 2 provides for a three year transitional period on initial adoption of GRAP103 - Heritage Asset for the measurement, presentation and disclosure of heritage assets. Analysis of collections has been made and listing thereof has commenced. The number of heritage assets at the insitution is 7 168 602 assets and are categorised into:

8.1 Pension fund

Expenditure recognised during the year 6 154 774 5 370 079

Ditsong Museums of South Africa operates a pension fund which provide benefits on both defined benefit and defined contribution plans covering all employees. The DMSA Museum Pension Fund is administered on behalf of DMSA by pension fund administrators and is governed by the Pensions Fund Act, 1956 (Act No 24 of 1956), as amended.

An independent Board of Trustees manages the fund. The Museums Pension Fund is a multi-employer plan. The actuarial valuation is done for the plan in its entirety and does not specify, as a separate entity, DMSA’s obligation, plan assets or liability in terms of the fund.



The rules of the Museums Pension Fund were amended to include a defined contribution category and that no new members will join the defined benefit category with effect from 1 April 2003. All new employees appointed with effect 1 April 2003 will join the defined contribution category while the existing participating employees will remain members of the defined benefit category of the Museums Pension Fund at the existing contribution rate.

The following rates of contribution are applied:

Defined Benefit category: Employee contribution is 7.5% of pensionable salary (basic salary plus annual bonus) and the employer contributes 20%

Defined Contribution category: Employee contribution is 7.5% of pensionable salary (basic salary plus annual bonus) and the employer contributes 15%. The employer contribution rates can fluctuate as a result of changes to the insured benefit rate.

The Museums Pension Fund requires an actuarial valuation every three years. The defined benefit contribution plan fund was actuarially valued, using the projected unit credit method at 1 April 2012 and it revealed that the assets of the fund represented a funding position of 100% for the Museum Pension Fund. Any deficit advised by the actuaries is funded through increased contributions to ensure the on-going soundness of the pension fund. At the time of the valuation, the actuary reported that he was satisfied that the current composition of the investments of the Fund can be considered reasonable for the purpose of matching it assets and liabilities

The financial position of the Fund as at 31 March 2014 is as follows:

8.2 Health Care costs

The assets are generally held in separate trustee-administered medical aid funds, namelyBestmed, Bonitas, Medshield, Medihelp, Fedhealth, Key Health and Discovery Health.

The liabilities for the DMSA with regard to subsidies in respect of continuationmember health care costs can reasonably be regarded as the following:

* Total liability in respect of existing continuation members* Total liability in respect of members in active employment

The DMSA ‘s contributions to the medical schemes are charged to the income statementin the year to which they relate. Provision is made for future liability in the financialstatements. The defined benefit obligation is determined by making use of the projectedunit credit method. All actuarial profits and losses are recognised immediately.

The actuarial valuation was as at 31 March 2015.

15. Going Concern

The annual financial statements have been prepared on the accounting policies applicable to a going concern.

We draw attention to the fact that the entity had a deficit of R7 708 101 (2014 surplus of R2 734 901). The accumulated deficit increased to R10 617 933 (2014: R2 909 832). Due to the liability created by the post-retirement medical aid benefit, the entities liabilities exceed its assets. DMSA may not be able to settle its financial obligations as they fall due without the assistance of the Department of Arts and Culture. The effect of the post-retirement medical aid liability was a decrease in surplus of R6 838 000 (2014: increase of R4 772 000).

16. Taxation

No provision has been made for taxation since Ditsong Museums of South Africa is exempted from taxation in terms of Section 10(1)(cA)(1) of the Income Tax Act.

19. Risk management

19.1 GeneralExposure to credit, interest rate, currency and liquidity risks arises in the normal course of business. It is the entity’s objective to minimise its exposure to the various financial risks through its risk management policies and procedures.

The entity attempts to manage financial risk where this involves activities in which it has appropriate competencies.



19.2 Operational risk Operational risk is the risk of loss arising from system failure, human error or external events. When controls fail to perform, operational risk can cause damage to reputation, have legal or regulatory implications or can lead to financial loss. The entity cannot expect to eliminate all operational risks, but by initiating a rigorous control framework and by monitoring and responding to potential risk, the entity is able to manage the risk. Controls include effective segregation of duties, access control, authorisation and reconciliation procedures, staff education and assessment processes.

19.4 Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash through proper management of working capital, capital expenditure and cash. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying operations, the Entity aims to maintain sufficient funding through a robust Medium-term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) budgeting process.

The entity manages liquidity risk through proper management of working capital, capital expenditure and actual versus forecast cash flows and its cash management policy. Adequate reserves and liquid resources are also maintained.



Liquidity risk management includes maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents, the availability of funding from adequate banking facilities ranging from overnight to 364 day facilities and the ability to close out market positions.

19.5 Borrowing capacity

In terms of the Public Finance Management Act (Act No. 1 of 1999) as read with the Treasury Regulations the entity may not enter into any borrowing agreements without the express consent of National Treasury.

19.6 Interest rate risk

The entity’s policy is to manage interest rate risk so that fluctuations in variable rates do not have a material impact on surplus / (deficit). The entity’s interest rate risk arises from financial service assets such as cash and cash equivalents. Borrowings issued at floating rates expose the entity to cash flow interest rate risk, while fixed rate borrowings expose the entity to fair value interest rate risk. As part of the process of managing the entity’s fixed and floating rate borrowings mix, the interest rate characteristics of new borrowings and refinancing of existing borrowings are positioned according to expected movements in interest rates.

The sensitivity of the entity’s surplus or net assets to its exposure to interest rate risk is presented below. The analysis considers the impact of a reasonably possible change in the prime rate of interest, with all other variables held constant. At the reporting date, the prime rate is 9% (2013: 9%).

19.8 Credit risk

Credit risk arises on cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables. The risk on the cash and cash equivalents is managed through dealing with well established financial institutions, endorsed by National treasury.

The risk arising on the trade receivables is managed through normal credit risk relating to the trade receivables is not concentrated due to a diversified customer base. Adequate provision is made for doubtful debts.

The bulk of customers is concentrated in the private sector but also consists of other government agencies. On-going credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of trade receivables. No events occurred in the sector during the financial year that may have an impact on accounts receivable that have not yet been adequately provided for.

21. Budget variances

As required by GRAP 24 para 12 ( c) an explanation of material differences between the budget for which the entity is held publicly accountable and actual amounts as disclosed in the statement of budget information are as follows:

Income:Overall income was marginally above budget for the financial year at a total of R75.9m (2014: R82m). The difference compared to prior year was largely due to the actuarial gain of R10.5m realised from the valuation of post employment benefit liability in the previous year. The targeted income for admission fees was undercollected by 5%. The total collected was R3.6m which shows an increase of 25% from previous years income of R2.9m. We realised a significant increase in our investment income of 13% compared to the budget for the year. This was largely due to favourable interest rates and cash management. There was an undercollection of R339 050 from a combined budget amount of R1m for other sundry revenue. Lack of marketing the museum contributed greatly to this under achievement. Fundraising initiatives for specific exhibition and research projects realised R751 528 (2014: R730 029). R2.6m (2014: R1.9m) was budgeted for rental income and only R2.1m (2014: R2.8m) was realised due to planned significant lease not materialising.

Expenses:

Overall expenses compared to budget increased by R6.8m (2014: R4.7m). This increase was largely due to interest service cost of R3.2m (2014: R3.8m), Current Service Cost of R1.9m (2014: R1.9m) and Actuarial loss of R1.8m (2014: Gain of R10.5m) . Expenditure incurred on differed revenue amounted to R751 528 (2014: R730 029), and bad debt provision increased by R242 228 (2014: R610 651). Although professional fees with respect to internal audit fees were ommitted in the budget, savings were shifted from other allocations to finance the expenditure of R1.3m (2014: R795 171). External audit fees were also under budgeted by R722 408 (2014: R643 106). In complying with PFMA, the actual expenditure incurred were limited to the approved budget amount of R75.8m with the exception of post employment benefit liability expenditures.



22. Prior period error

22.1 During the year management realised that accruals for payments relating to prior year were omited The prior period error was adjusted and comparatives restated.

The effect of the error on the individual line items in the financial statements is as follows: 2015 2014

Statement of Financial PositionDecrease in Accounts Payables - 1 629

Statement of Financial PerformanceDecrease in Operating Expenses - 1 629

22.5 During the year management realised that biological assets have never been recorded in the financial statements.

The biological asset register was developed and current replacement cost was used to determine the value at the end of the financial year as there were no historical records as to their acquisition and value. Due to lack of historical data it was impracticable to determine the effect on the prior periods. Therefore no prior period adjustments have been done in this regard.

22.6 As a result of the prior year audit, it was observed that reassessment of useful lives was not correctly performed for the prior year which resulted in assets being fully depreciated whilst in use. The reassessment of useful lives was undertaken and prior period erro was adjusted and comparatives restated.
