Accounting Officer's Responsibilities and Approval
The accounting officeris required by the Municipal Finance Management Act (Act 56 of 2003), 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 was given unrestricted access to all financial records and related data.
The annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Standards of Generally Recognised Accounting
Practice (GRAP) including any interpretations, guidelines and directives issued by the Accounting Standards Board.
The annual financial statements are based upon appropriate accounting policies consistently applied and supported by
reasonable and prudent judgements and estimates.
The accounting officeracknowledges that heis 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 the accounting
officer to meet these responsibilities, the accounting officer sets 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.
The accounting officeris 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.
The accounting officerhas 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, heis satisfied that the municipality has or 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 Jozini Local Municipality
has neither the intention nor the need to liquidate or curtail materially the scale of the municipality.
The external auditorsare responsible for independently reviewing and reporting on the municipality's annual financial
statements.
The annual financial statements set out on page 5, which have been prepared on the going concern basis, were approved by
the accounting officer on 31 October 2020 and were signed on its behalf by:
Mr JA Mngomezulu
