Accounting Officer's Responsibilities and Approval
The accounting officer is 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 officer acknowledges that he is 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 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 officer is 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 officer has 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, he is satisfied that the municipality has or has access to adequate resources to
continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
The external auditors are responsible for independently reviewing and reporting on the municipality's annual financial
statements. The annual financial statements have been examined by the municipality's external auditors and their report is
presented on page 8.
The annual financial statements set out on page 9, which have been prepared on the going concern basis, were approved by
the on 31 December 2020 and were signed on its behalf by:
