Accounting Officer's Responsibilities and Approval
The Accounting Officer is responsible for the preparation of the annual financial statements in terms of section 126(1) of the
MFMA. The Accounting Officer is required by the MFMA to maintain adequate accounting records and is responsible for the
content and integrity of the annual financial statements and related financial information included in this report. It is the
responsibility of the accounting officer to ensure that the annual financial statements fairly present the state of affairs of the
municipality as at the end of the financial year and the results of its operations and cash flows for the period then ended. The
external auditors are engaged to express an independent opinion on the annual financial statements and were given
unrestricted access to all financial records and related data.
The annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Standards of GRAP including any Interpretations,
Guidelines and Directives issued by the ASB.
The annual financial statements are based upon appropriate accounting policies consistently applied and supported by
reasonable and prudent judgements and estimates.
I, as the Accounting Officer, acknowledge that Iam ultimately responsible for the system of internal financial control established
by the municipality and place considerable importance on maintaining a strong control environment. To enable me to meet
these responsibilities, I have set standards for internal control aimed at reducing the risk of error or deficit in a cost effective
manner. The standards include the proper delegation of responsibilities within a clearly defined framework, effective accounting
procedures and adequate segregation of duties to ensure an acceptable level of risk. These controls are monitored throughout
the municipality and all employees are required to maintain the highest ethical standards in ensuring the municipality’s
business is conducted in a manner that in all reasonable circumstances is above reproach. The focus of risk management in
the municipality is on identifying, assessing, managing and monitoring all known forms of risk across the municipality. While
operating risk cannot be fully eliminated, the municipality endeavours to minimise it by ensuring that appropriate infrastructure,
controls, systems and ethical behaviour are applied and managed within predetermined procedures and constraints.
I am of the opinion, based on the information and explanations given by management, that the system of internal control
provides reasonable assurance that the financial records may be relied on for the preparation of the annual financial
statements. However, any system of internal financial control can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance
against material misstatement or deficit.
Ihave reviewed the municipality’s cash flow forecast for the year to 30 June 2021 and, in the light of this review and the current
financial position, Iam satisfied that the municipality has access to adequate resources to continue in operational existence for
the foreseeable future.
The municipality is wholly dependent on the community and government for continued funding of operations. The annual
financial statements are prepared on the basis that the municipality is a going concern and that the municipality has neither the
intention nor the need to liquidate or curtail materially the scale of the municipality.
I would like to bring the following matters to your attention:
I certify that the salaries, allowances and benefits of councillors, as disclosed in note 21 - Councillors remuneration to these
annual financial statements, are within the upper limits of the framework envisaged in section 219 of the Constitution of the
Republic of South Africa, read with the Remuneration of Public Office Bearers Act (Act No. 20 of 1998) and the Minister of
Provincial and Local Government’s determination in accordance with the Act.
The annual financial statements set out on page 5 - 73 which have been prepared on the going concern basis, were approved
by the Accounting Officer on 31 October 2020 and were signed by:
