ANNUAL FINANCIALS & AUDIT
RESULTS
The final audit report is a disclaimer of opinion report. The major
issues that brought about this disclaimer are:
FINDINGS
ACTION PLAN
DUE DATES
Treatment of VAT
We have requested an extension of two
months from SARS for the final submission
of the Vat. The extension is from 30
September 2005 to 30 November 2005.A
firm of consultants was engaged to look at
the entire VAT treatment of the Grants
system from the inception of the Isett to
date
30th November 2005
Unrecorded
Liabilities
We have put in place the discipline of
closing off the system and cutting off
properly to the next period.
30th November 2005
Grant Overpayment
We will put in place a process that will
ensure that the completeness of revenue is
assured on a monthly basis.

Fundamental
Error
We will ensure full compliance with AC111 on
Revenue recognition. Whereas previously
revenue was accounted for on a cash basis we
have now switched to the accrual basis of
recognition.
30th November 2005
NSF Projects.
A separate set of general ledger accounts has
been set up in order to account for NSF projects
separately from Isett accounts. Thus all SLA’s
signed with the vendors will now distinguish
between the Isett and the NSF obligations and
payments will be split accordingly between the
two.
30th November 2005
Opening
Balances
The discipline has already been put in place to
close off the system (Great Plains) every month
and do proper cut-offs from month to month.
30th November 2005
Fixed Assets
Fixed Assets register will be updated to ensure
full compliance with Companies Act and PFMA
30th November 2005
NB: The Isett Seta Performance Management System is also utilized
to address the findings.

KEY CHALLENGES FOR
