MISSION

BMF’s WORK AND MISSION

he Black Management Forum (BMF) stands for the development and empowerment of managerial leadership, primarily among black people within organisations, and the

creation of managerial structures and processes which reflect the demographics and values of a wider society.

The BMF is not apolitical, but is non-partisan. The organisation is however not neutral on matters of transformation. They are pro-transformation.

Our VISIONTo be the foremost organisation in the development of managerial leadership, and advancing socio-economic transformation of organisations in southern Africa and beyond.

Our VALUES• Ubuntu• Respect• Creativity• Integrity• Effectiveness

BMF’s ContributionThe BMF espouses a value system that embraces high standards, and sets tone and measure in business ethics, not only among black organisations, but the broader South African society.

Through its value system, its disciplines and perseverance towards a just cause, the leadership of the organisation has made a meaningful contribution to the stability of the country and the progress made on socio-economic development.

The BMF builds confidence and capacity among black managers by providing a support structure that facilitates their integration into a business environment which is often hostile and unsupportive.

Some of the notable BMF achievements include the following:• Its leadership in the area of Affirmative Action through its “Affirmative Action Blueprint” of 1993 has assisted many companies in the formulation of Human Resource Policies, which advances the process of employment equity.• The BMF staff members were, at different times, appointed to the Department of Labour as directors for Employment Equity.• The BMF played a key role in Nedlac (notwithstanding the fact that it was not a member of this body) in the negotiation and formulation of AA positions which are incorporated in the Employment Equity Act.• The Forum, through its resolution in 1997, originated the Black Economic Empowerment Commission (BEECom) which was then headed by Cyril Ramaphosa under the auspices of the organised formation, the Black Business Council (BBC).

During volatile and difficult times, the BMF, as a highly motivated organisation, has maintained a balanced support structure to assist its members through challenging times. The BMF has facilitated many developmental programmes locally and internationally for black managers, thus contributing to the development of managerial competence.

A pool of leading black high-calibre managers have kept the organisation on the cutting edge of managerial leadership and transformation in South Africa. Many of today’s leaders in government, business and civil society continue to have close links with the BMF. A large number of these leaders are still actively involved with the organisation.

A network of highly skilled and dedicated

BMF members continually provides input to government, business, trade unions and civil society. Furthermore, the organisation pro-actively plays a leading role at all levels on policy formulation, strategic planning and other key issues facing the country.

The BMF is committed – in line with one of its key principles – to working for business unity and non-racialism. To this end, we participated in the formation of Business Unity South Africa (BUSA).

The BMF is committed to achieving its objectives by:• Ensuring appropriate processes in recruitment, selection and promotion within organisations.• Upholding and enhancing the highest professional standards and principles in business and management leadership.• Assuming the role of an effective voice for the needs, aspirations and views of its members.• Facilitating the provision of career guidance services and facilities to members, especially students.• Promoting and maintaining working relationships with the organisations and interest groups that pursue similar objectives to the BMF.• Being an effective platform for the exchange of information, views and experiences through a dynamic forum.• Facilitating the process of transformation of organisations.• Promoting an awareness of the importance of managerial and leadership skills to the advancement of meaningful economic participation and empowerment.• Monitoring and reporting on the performance of organisations in the key areas of transformation.

The Black Management Forum (BMF) is a non-racial, thought leadership organisation. Founded in 1976, with the main purpose of influencing socio-economic transformation in South Africa in pursuit of socio-economic justice, fairness and equity, the BMF continues to be vocal on these matters. It keeps South Africa in check and encourages participation of the broader spectrum of

South African stakeholders.

A TRIBUTE TO

LOT NDLOVU

He was a deep and lateral thinker and original thought leader.

It is with great sadness that in August 2013, the Black Management Forum (BMF) was met with the untimely death of Mr. Lot Ndlovu who was the stalwart and served as BMF President between 1995 and 1999. He was recently asked by the BMF Board to chair both the BMF Investments and the newly established BMF Elders Council, which is comprised of the elders and past leaders of our organisation. Mr. Ndlovu, a doyen of the black empowerment movement in South Africa succumbed to cancer which he suffered from since 2011.

During his presidency Mr. Ndlovu served the Black Management Forum with pride in its endeavours to influence the country’s socio-economic transformation in the interest of justice, fairness and equity; and it was during his tenure that the Black Economic Empowerment Commission was initiated under the auspices of the BMF. He was a deep and lateral thinker and original thought leader. A visionary, broadminded, balanced with an independent mind. He never played the person but the ball. Even if you disagreed with him you never failed to admire and respect him. He was so refreshing. He was far ahead of his time. Gatsheni was no academic but was endowed with natural intellect, a talented business leader, a bearer of deep transformation insights and off course an ORGANIC INTELLECTUAL.

Without the brave leadership prowess of people of Lot’s standing, the progress made to transform the South African economy to be more inclusive, safer and caring would be

difficult to tell. The road may still be long and winding to reaching desired business goals that fired up people like Lot, but there can be no denying that he has been the most valued fuel to the distances travelled thus far. He ranks amongst the best change agents from whose passing the business world would surely take stock to reflect on the success it has made to bridge the gap between declaration and implementation towards real change.

We have been blessed to have met and worked with such a great human being uMaduka Owadukela lapho abanye besaba beqhaqhazela but he did not hesitate to find sustainable solutions venturing in dark alleys fearlessly to ensure The National Democratic Revolution becomes a reality. He walked the path carved for him with great honour and humility. We owe Gatsheni a deep debt of social and intellectual gratitude. What a loss to South Africa, not to mention his family.

Lot Ndlovu served his generation magnanimously with dignity and pride. He was the gallant fighter for transformation and advancement of black people. He advocated that ownership was the single most important element of the BEE. In

A visionary, broadminded, balanced with an independent mind. He never played the person but the ball.

fact, he believed that it was a ticket to the game. Lot was more a pioneer of transformation rather than a beneficiary of it.

The BMF and the country have lost a truly distinguished visionary, bold and fearless leader, stalwart, valiant soldier and gallant fighter of both socio-economic transformation and the development of managerial capacity, primarily amongst Black People. We are honoured to have shared this issue-driven life with his family, the business community and the millions of unheard believers of change that still walk the path that he led with distinction. His exemplary leadership makes him an inspirational act to follow. He will be dearly missed. And the best way to honour him, is to embrace the changes he committed himself to champion to remain on course. May his soul rest in peace.

To the BMF lets us recommit not only to the ideals he expounded but live them and apply them. Let us all rededicate to his vision and noble pursuits.

As a membership organisation that promotes robust and vigorous interactions and discussions, we will not always agree with each other, but we do have to respect each other. Understanding what respect means to each of us is a starting point to help us see the importance of treating others respectfully.

I would like to thank my co-directors for their hard work, commitment, insight and the will to ensure we take the BMF to greater heights, adhere to corporate governance principles, manage risks and grow the business.

I also thank the entire management team and staff nationally for their contributions in putting the BMF back on a growth path.

BONANG MOHALE

I am pleased to present my first report as President of the BMF. I would like to provide a clear and concise strategic direction for the 2013 – 2015 term, which

the Board and Top 50 formulated earlier on this year.

I would like to report on the performance and what is lined up for the coming year. This financial year’s results of the BMF unfortunately still indicates an operating deficit. We are, however, pleased that there is a 51% improvement on this figure. This indicates some improvement in the efficiency of our operations.

We are proud to report an impressive growth of 80% in our individual membership and 320% growth in corporate membership.

The Board and Top 50 Strategy sessions held early this year was used to carve a roadmap and produce a workable plan for this Presidential term. After our deliberations during these sessions we reached a conclusion that the best way to take the BMF forward is to go back to the fundamentals of who we are and what we stand for. With that in mind, we decided on the following strategic objectives:

• Develop Managerial LeadershipBecome the leading developer of black management and leadership talent so that we contribute to the transformation of senior management within South Africa.• Advancing Socio-Economic TransformationCreate a research and thought leadership capacity within the BMF that stimulates intellectual conversation and drives engagement around issues of transformation, management and leadership within South Africa.•Thought Leadership Through Advocacy Forster the advancement of socio-economic transformation within

PROVINCIAL REPORTS

GAUTENG (GP)

The period under review has been a successful one and has firmly realigned the Black Management Forum (BMF) in the Gauteng province, as a focused organisation able to achieve its objectives. The province has continued to experience growth both in terms of membership and activities at various branch levels. Our provincial membership has grown by more than 20% from the time we were elected into office. The emphasis is mainly to ensure that branch activities have twin objectives by: (1) adding value to member’s aspirations and expectations and (2) developing activities and programmes aligned with the national strategy framework.

The BMF in Gauteng is evolving and is characterised by its vibrant membership. For the period under review, the provincial excutive committee (PEC) held a number of successful workshops. 1. B-BBEE codes workshop to contribute to

the revision of the codes by the Department of Trade and Industry (dti) and further consolidate our input as part of the broader black business council (BBC) contribution.

2. Membership induction facilitated by the late Lot Ndlovu. The purpose of the induction was to re-orientate the Gauteng membership about the work of the BMF. Induction was critical to ensuring members understand the key focus areas of the Black Management Forum.

3. Employment Equity and NDP discussions. Having noted the lack of progress in corporate transformation and the importance of the NDP as a

guiding national plan, the outcomes of this important workshop will form part of the BMF’s input to the national draft resolutions. It is not acceptable that nearly 20 years after democracy corporate SA still doesn’t reflect SA’s demographics.

As indicated, the growth of our membership base is testament to the fact that the provincial leadership collective is on the right track to reinvigorate the BMF in GP and make it a professional organisation of choice!

On behalf of the entire membership of the BMF Gauteng, we would like to join hands with the rest of the provinces and ensure that the organisation is a leading forum that develops black managerial capacity and advances socio-economic transformation in South Africa and beyond.

Modise Moiloanyane, Provincial Chairperson

KWAZULU-NATAL (KZN) For the period under review, there has been a challenge within branches to sustain leaders. However, North Coast and Durban branches have been active throughout the year. An attempt has been made to engage potential members with the hope to relaunch the South Coast branch once all the constitutional requirements are fulfilled.

Leadership Development and Achievements

KwaZulu-Natal has been producing leaders in all spheres of life. As a province, we salute Mr Leonard Mashao, the recipient of the 2012 KZN Manager of the Year award. The provincial leadership encourages student chapter members through mentorship and workshop programmes to continue with their post-graduate studies. This drive is aligned with the core strategy of the BMF, which observes that education is the key to ensure that the country’s developmental goals are achieved.

As a province, we appreciate that BMF leadership comes with many sacrifices. We therefore salute those who carried the torch to the end with dedication, commitment and selfless sacrifices. MembershipKZN’s membership has grown compared to the previous financial year. But the relocation of members to the industrial hub of Richards Bay poses real challenges. The plan is to attract new members from the public sector.

As previously reported about the victimisation of the transformation agents in corporate SA, some members are afraid to take leadership positions within the province. We hope that the BMF national office will action this important matter as it paralyses the organisation.

In Conclusion The province will always strive to be relevant, challenge the status quo and drive transformation. As a rural province, we need more transformation agents to implement the laws of the country without any fear, favour and prejudice. We embrace the partnerships created with the following companies: Nedbank, Old Mutual, Productivity SA, Allan Gray and Mercedes Benz SA (uMhlanga dealership).

Jim Matsho, Provincial Chairperson

MPUMALANGA (MP)It is yet another exciting year in our province, categorised by the adoption of developmental activities, the launching of the BMF Young Professionals (YP), and the programmes by the student chapter. Guided by the national strategy, our province has crafted its strategy to focus largely on provincial development issues. The province decided to replace some of our colleagues

in the Provincial Committee as a result of their commitment to their respective occupations.

These are the following events which were hosted:• We handed over a house to a family in

Mozambique as a gesture of goodwill and Ubuntu after a xenophobic attack.

• The BMF YP was launched in the province, and a detailed programme and strategy was presented. This was followed by a host of activities.

• The student chapter held its conference in the province and hosted counterparts from Swaziland and Mozambique. Consequently, a task team was established to look into areas of development in the mining, agricultural, social economic and education sectors.

We are happy to confirm that our finances were consolidated; all branches – with the exception of Steve Tshwete – have closed their accounts. Our accounts are now with the head office for finalisation.

MembershipWe have experienced steady growth in membership. We are now in pursuit to recruit a quality manager who aspires to be a BMF member.

We are guided by the BMF’s strategic document in dealing with the challenges that confront us in the province. We wish to thank our sponsors: SASOL, Fence it Manufactures, IDC, Absa and Ingwenyama Lodge. Their support helped us manage our planned events. We also wish to

acknowledge and thank our colleagues who started the term with us, but could not see it through due to circumstances beyond their control.

John Nkadimeng, Provincial Chairperson

NORTH WEST (NW) The North West province has had a slow but fruitful year. This was due to migration of skills and job losses. This picture epitomises not only the North West but all rural provinces that depend on a mining environment for employment.

The things we did well in this financial year are:• BMF Golf Day – 14 December 2012• Allan Gray Investment Seminar – 26

February 2013• Transformation in Higher Education

Debate – 14 March 2013 • Mandela Day initiative – 18 July 2013• Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati Recognition

Award – 09 August 2013• We now have two branches: Dr Kenneth

Kaunda and Bojanala. We intend to add another branch by the end of the next financial year.

• Two of our members attended a course on entrepreneurship skills, at the North-West University (NWU) – Potchefstroom Campus. They successfully completed the course and were presented with their accreditation certificates.

Despite the fact that we have added an additional branch, our intention and vision is to have a branch in every district.

We are struggling to raise sponsors due to the fact that organisations are raising the point of beneficiation to the general community.

The year under review was not easy, however, we would not trade it for anything given the experience gained.

Nela Mojanaga , Provincial Chairperson

FREE STATE (FS)The BMF in the Free State has had a very challenging year, however, we look ahead with more optimism and determination to pursue the objectives of our noble organisation.

The province is made up of three active branches: Welkom, Bloemfontein and

QwaQwa. It remains a huge challenge to attract and retain new members in all our branches, but we are determined to overcome these and many other challenges.

The internal challenges of the BMF FS remain persistent. Nevertheless, we are working at addressing them with the aim to build and unite the province. One of our internal challenges is strengthening the young professionals and the student chapter in our province through capacity building and the revival of these two key components of the BMF.

We are pleased to report that the BMF FS has achieved good and sound audited financial statements for the year under review. All our branches have been hard at work in maintaning good financial management.

The BMF in the province has recommitted itself to promoting youth empowerment, as well as women emancipation to the benefit of the Free State, in particular, and South Africa as a whole. Women remain valuable partners in building a vibrant and winning society; we value their unconditional emancipation.

Across the province, there have been key events that have afforded our members the opportunity to interact with different partners of the BMF in the province. We are grateful for the continuous support shown by our external stakeholders: the NEF, Standard Bank, Mediclinic, Allan Gray, CUT, among others.

We hosted well-attended events and many other activities, below we mention a few:• We hosted seminars with Allan Gray on

wealth creation;

We are happy to confirm that our finances were consolidated; all branches – with the exception of Steve Tshwete – have closed their accounts. -MP

Despite the fact that we have added an additional branch, our intention and vision is to have a branch in every district. - NW

• We held a successful breakfast session with Eskom on tapping into its Supply Management to attract more service providers;

• We established a great partnership with Standard Bank Private Banking for the benefit of our members across the province;

• We hosted the NEF in our quest to explore the funding mechanism for entrepreneurship;

• We held a successful business breakfast to unpack the NHI with Mediclinic;

• We held the second leg of the well- established partnership with the provincial Treasury on infrastructure developmentand the role of black entrepreneurs in the Free State;

• Mandela Day celebration was once again a great success in the province, with our branches doing their best in supporting this noble call; and

• Some schools in the province have been adopted in our outreach programme currently implemented by our branches.

These events have afforded the BMF Free State, once again, the opportunity to highlight the BMF mission and vision to contribute in building a greater South Africa and a winning Free State province.

It is important that we mention the launch of our rural branch, the BMF QwaQwa. Great attention should be paid in developing our rural areas and mitigate the multiple challenges they are faced with. It is also important to acknowledge the BMF

FS in achieving good and sound audited financial statement for the year under review. We are grateful for such achievements, which would not have been possible without the teamwork displayed by the provincial committee. We also appreciate the sacrifices made by our provincial administrator in keeping the BMF FS moving forward.

Overall, the BMF Free State has shown resilience and determination in working for its members. The fruit of our commitment is found in our common sense of unity.

We remain convinced that more work lies ahead for the province, however, in achieving any sustainable achievement in the future, we aim to working closely with all stakeholders. The consistent support of our external members is worth mentioning, and we will work hard at re-assuring them.

We want to use this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to every single individual that strives to build a vibrant BMF in the Free State, especially to our valuable members for continuing to believe in the organisation. Together we can make the BMF FS better.

Norbert Nyamsi, Provincial Chairperson

WESTERN CAPE (WC) This year presented severe challenges. The new provincial committee assumed office without any financial resources. Through all of that, the province delivered on its objectives, as set out below: Events hosted• 2013 Budget Breakfast with Mazars -

members were updated on the key aspects of the budget speech, which had just been delivered in Parliament. The event also served as a good networking opportunity for our members.

• Transformation Round Table with Premier Helen Zille’s office. A panel discussion with the premiers spokesperson, a

• representative from business and a BMF representative.

• Robust debate on the current state of transformation in the province. Improved working relationship and communication with the premier’s office on issues of recruitment and transformation in general have been some of the

significant outcomes of the discussion.• Motivation forum with the young

professionals - Mr Mali from Standard Bank gave a motivational talk to our young professionals and was joined by two other young people who are doing extremely well in the province. The event resulted in more young professionals showing interest and taking part in BMF activities.

• Launch of the investment series with Allan Gray - the series is aimed at educating our members, particularly young professionals, on the importance of investing in their future.

• Women of all spheres event - this was our f lagship women’s event during Women’s Month. The purpose of the event was to inspire our female members to be actively involved in their chosen spheres of influence.

• The event was graced by, among others, the BMF Deputy President, the SABC

• Interim Board Chairperson and Deputy Minister Ayanda Dlodlo.

• Golf programme with Sanlam - the programme aimed to introduce our members to the game of golf, which presents enormous networking opportunities. We had about 70

Financial PositionHaving started the term with a huge negative, the province is now comfortable with funds totaling around R200 000 in the provincial account (cash and money due). We have managed to turn the dark corner through the fundraising efforts of the current provincial committee. We wish to thank and acknowledge our sponsors and partners for their continuous support: Capitec Bank, Nedbank, Sanlam, Allan Gray, Mediclinic and Pioneer Foods.

The rest of our term will focus on strengthening our relationship with institutions of higher learning, and set our Provincial Bursary Fund with the objective of providing training opportunities for our members, and bursaries to deserving students.

We are in the process of finalising our preparations for the launch of our Transformation Forum. This is an important platform that will bring together transformation officers, HR managers, EE managers, and procurement officers, to share ideas and best practices in an effort to fast track transformation in the province.

Natalie Khambi, Provincial Chairperson

LIMPOPO (LP) Limpopo entered the new financial year with the convention of a Bi-Annual General Meeting that elected new leadership. They are: Sam Maloka (chairperson), Dr. John Mudau (deputy chairperson), Regina Erasmus (treasurer), Regina Sebola (secretary), Yvonne Mathabatha and Makgabo Senoamadi (additional members), David Rakgoale (young professionals) and Ignitius Masekoameng (provincial student chapter chairperson).

BMF Limpopo realised a tremendous increase in affiliated members – membership grew by over 100% to 243 members from 98 members reported in June 2012. With the national launch of the BMF SME membership category, the Limpopo province is hopeful that the BMF will register a significant number of SMEs as members.

The province registered remarkable progress and successful implementation of

its business plan for the year. Managing to host events and programmes as spelled out by the strategic plan of the organisation, the province enjoys long-standing corporate and administrative support from PwC, who have supported Limpopo since 1995.

The BMF is thankful to sponsors and partners who joined forces in the hosting and running of some of the events, which benefitted the BMF members.

Sam Maloka, Provincial Chairperson

EASTERN CAPE (EC)We are pleased to report that the period under review is also the first year of the term of office for the provincial leadership in the Eastern Cape. The province had an elective Annual General Meeting (AGM) in July 2012. It is encouraging to observe the commitment and cohesion of the provincial committee working together for the advancement of the BMF values and ideals. Immediately, upon taking over, the leadership had to organise an annual gala dinner, a flagship event of the BMf in the province. The dinner was hosted in Port Elizabeth and was preceded by a golf challenge the following day.

As part of the long-held tradition in the province, the BMF presented awards to outstanding personalities in various fields and occupations. • The awards went to the following

recipients: The Lifetime Achiever Awards – Phillip Gutche, (chairperson of Coca-Cola) and Sicelo Duze (CEO of Algoa Bus).

• The Manager of the Year Award – Mthunywa Ngonzo (head of department

for the Eastern Cape Department of Education).

• Women in Business Leadership Award – went to Jacqueline Brown (the port manager for the Port of East London).

• Young Professional of the Year award – was presented to Mabhuti Mpafa (business development officer with Chris Hani District Municipality).

• Student Chapter of the Year Award – Nelson Mandela Metro University: Missionvale Campus.

We are particularly proud about the successful presidential visit to the province, where the presidency interacted with various stakeholders and members of the organisation.

In the period under review, we have also prioritised relationship building with our strategic partners with a view to create an opportunity for our branches to tap into these resources.

started by Amathole branch back in 2008 and finally launched in November 2009, is now being adopted and launched at national level. This initiative is called Women Empowerment Desk (WED).

WED is an important platform for all in the BMF to address issues of women empowerment. This is the structure that we hope to sustain at all cost, since gender equality and women empowerment are human rights issues. During this period, WED hosted two breakfast sessions in East London – one was the Human Rights Day Celebration (attended by the executive mayor) and the other one was in celebration of Women’s Month under the theme “Women Leadership and Business Development”. The event was hosted in partnership with the ECDC and Alexander Forbes. Both events were a success.

We are extremely proud of our student chapter in the Eastern Cape. Among the many events and activities they hosted this year, they organised an “Anti-Rape March” which was a huge success. Rape and sexual assault remain one the worst crimes perpetuated against women and this also happens in various campuses and is often not reported. We are pleased that the student chapter in the province decided to champion this cause.

The revitalisation of Umtata and Graaff Reinet branches and the fluctuating membership – with regret – remain one of our “Achilles’ heels” in the province. However, there are mechanisms in place to ensure that these branches are revived.

In spite of the aforementioned, we are pleased to report that Queenstown, East London and Port Elizabeth are the three branches that continued to be active in the period under review.

PROVINCIAL REPORTS

Talks have started between SARB and the BMF Young Professionals regarding hosting an annual young professionals economic summit. The summit will be attended by YP structure’s representatives and will focus on the role of young professionals in growing South Africa’s economy at a rate that will alleviate unemployment and poverty.

YOUNG PROFESSIONALS’ REPORTNational AssessmentWe have active presence in eight of the nine provinces in South Africa, and we are working towards growing and reactivation of the BMF YP in the Free State before the end of the year 2013.

StructureSince March 2013, we piloted a structure called BMF YP National Executive Committee comprising of the National Chairperson, Deputy National Chairperson, National YP Coordinator, Head of Enterprise, Head of Community Development and Head of Skills, Development and Empowerment. The pilot structure is proving to be one of the best decisions we have made as young professionals, despite having had to replace the initial Head of Skills, Development and Empowerment.

Enterprise Development (headed by Moses Mashishi) We have started a process of building a database for youth-owned businesses that we will share with companies looking for black suppliers.

We consulted a number of companies that have successfully been running incubators in South Africa for years. We later invited RaizCorp and Manchu Group to present their entrepreneurship development programmes to BMF YP during our strategic session held at the BMF House on 27 August 2013.

The BMF YP unanimously agreed to enter into a partnership with RaizCorp to ensure a successful delivery of programmes on enterprise development. We are currently discussing the content of the partnership and we envisage that we will start work in the last quarter of 2013.

Skill, Empowerment and Development (headed by Amanda Dlamini) We have a mentorship website that is currently being developed by SiveICT (on a pro-bono basis). Our aim is to roll out the mentorship programme nationally before the end of 2013.

We have started piloting the Skills and Attitude (young professionals) Development

Programme in Gauteng – the first group started on 7 September 2013 and the second group will start on 5 October 2013. The pilot programme will run until May 2014. At the end of the programme, we will assess and develop plans to roll out the same or similar programmes to four provinces in 2014 and 2015. And from 2015 to 2016, we will roll out the programme in the five remaining provinces. This is done in partnership with Bheki Zulu (CEO at Mappp Seta), Vodacom Midrand Toastmasters, Standard Bank, Regenesys Business School and The Pacific Institute.

Community Development (headed by Carol Bixa)We have agreed on an “adopt a school” approach where each province will adopt a school to work with from February 2014 to October 2014. The programme will cover motivational talks, career guidance, take a learner to school, developing a school turnaround strategy and school renovations.

Strategic FrameworkThe former BMF Managing Director, Nicolas D Maweni, facilitated the session held at the BMF House on 27 July 2013.

We would like to thank the BMF Deputy President, Koko Khumalo, for honouring our invite to come and share with us the BMF presidency’s expectations from the BMF YP. BMF Young Professionals Partnerships1. Allan Gray – is sponsoring full costs of hosting nine workshops on wealth creation around the country. The focus is growing wealth through savings and investment. Successful workshops have been held in the Eastern Cape, Mpumalanga and the Western Cape. The other provinces will be covered soon. 2. Capitec Bank – we are in final stages of our talks with the Head of Corporate Affairs, Sibusiso Khumalo, regarding a three-year sponsorship (March 2014 to March 2016) worth a total of R1.5 million, of which R500 000 will be allocated per annum. 3. South African Reserve Bank – talks have started between SARB and the BMF YP regarding hosting an annual young professionals economic summit. The summit will be attended by YP structure’s representatives and will focus on the role of young professionals in growing South

Africa’s economy at a rate that will alleviate unemployment and poverty.

PROVINCIAL REPORTS

KWAZULU-NATALStudent Chapter leaders continue to occupy leadership positions at national structures. The student chapter has been consistent in delivering their programme of action, and we salute their leadership. The Eshowe Saturday school project, where 44 learners attend mini camps during the school holiday, is still faced with challenges of securing a sustainable sponsor. Mfundo Mkhize, a grade nine pupil at Sunnydale School who attended the Eshowe programme, was the top mathematics leaner for the Eshowe District in 2012. There are five branches based in the University of Zululand; nalmely, the University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg (PMB), Howard College, Westville, and Durban University of Technology (DUT).

EASTERN CAPEWe are extremely proud of our student chapter in the Eastern Cape. They are represented at three institutions and have a presence on five campuses. Among many events and activities they hosted this year, they organised an “Anti-Rape March” which was a huge success. Rape and sexual assault remain one the worst crimes perpetuated against women, and this also happens in various campuses and is often not reported. We are pleased that the student chapter in the province decided to champion this cause.

MPUMALANGA The province managed to establish four branches (Lowveld College of Agriculture in Nelspruit, Marapyane College of Agriculture, FET Kanyamazane and FET Nelspruit campus). We

managed to host a powerful conference in partnership with two bordering countries (Mozambique and Swaziland). The theme of the conference was “Mandate to the Next Generation” – how can we utilise land that is left unsown – profitable and sustainable under three sub-headings: Agriculture, Mining and Tourism.

We hosted a women extravaganza event that was looking at business investments for women. The province produced a document during the conference, that states that the BMFsc members must take an initiative and register co-operatives that will focus in agriculture and tourism, and start business clinics that will equip communities and students.

GAUTENGAmong our members and black students, we have placed at the centre of our programme the academic excellence and development of managerial capacity. We are proud to say that we held a successful Investment Seminar with Allan Gray, where we realised the need to resolve development capacity for our members. We are running the Education Policy campaign, which will lead to the State Education Convention planned for 2014.

WESTERN CAPEOver the years this has been one of the best performing provinces in the country. We have five branches. Apart from challenges faced in the year under reveiw, all programmes have been executed and the province is in good standing. The province is on the verge of launching a new branch at Stellenbosch Tygerberg campus. It has managed to

encompass all pillars of the BMF Student Chapter in all events and across all its branches. Our community projects, such as Let’s Share, have been some of our long-term sustainable projects together with our Peer to Peer HIV/Aids programmes. Currently, the province is embarking on establishing a leadership development programme that will incorporate all three spheres of the BMF: the Young Professionas, the provincial committee and the student chapter.

FREE STATEWe have three branches in the province: the CUT Welkom branch, the University of the Free State (Bloemfontein branch) and the University of the Free State (QwaQwa campus branch). Our membership has doubled compared to the last 2013 Annual General Conference. We will be holding our annual general meeting on 18 October 2013.

LIMPOPOThe Limpopo province has had an interesting year. We hosted a conference under the theme “Inspiring Young Leadership: lessons of humanism and meeting challenges in leadership”. We organised a disability awareness march, aimed at appreciating the disabled community. We also held a gambling and motivation seminar where dangers of gambling were discussed. Highlighted in the seminar were the struggles of young people who are in debt and cannot contribute and or invest due to the severity of their debts – this disables them from contributing towards growing the economy. The seminar was addressed by Dr David Molapo.

NORTH WESTThe North West province has made a lot of progress. It had one branch in the previous year – it has launched three more branches: in Talesto, Nursing college and Mafikeng Hotel School.

The Mafikeng branch has grown from 23 to 220 members, and 426 in the entire province. The province launched relationships with like-minded organisations: Golden Key, SASCO, Black Lawyers Association (BLA) and ABASA. The North West province wishes to launch more branches, but faces struggles with graphical demarcation.

The BMF Student Chapter (BMFsc) aims to position itself as a youth assembly that is relevant to both university and industry. This will be achieved by ensuring that branches implement programmes that are aligned to the founding pillars of the Student Chapter. The current national executive committee implemented the 2012 summit resolution – mandating the BMFsc to enter the public space by articulating on youth matters and forming partnerships with like-minded youth organisations.

We have 25 branches in all nine provinces, with most of our members being females across various disciplines of study levels.

The BMFsc, together with young professionals (YP), began a joint community outreach stationery drive called Samkel’ imfundo. With this national campaign, we have collected stationery material to be distributed to leaners in the most destitute rural schools in South Africa. Pledges were collected from the BMF, BMF Young Professionals, the BMF Student Chapter, and members across the country. We thank all members who pledged.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2013

STATEMENT OF RESPONSIBILITY BY DIRECTORSIn accordance with the Companies Act No. 71 of 2008 as amended, the Directors are required to prepare annual financial statements that comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

The Directors are responsible for ensuring that complete, accurate and reliable accounting records form the basis for preparing the annual financial statements. The financial statements include judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent, made by management, reviewed and accepted by the Directors. The Directors also ensure that accounting policies selected and applied are appropriate to the company’s circumstances. In order to achieve this objective the Directors rely on the systems of internal control set up and maintained by management.

The internal controls include a risk-based system of internal accounting and administrative controls designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the assets are safeguarded and transactions executed and recorded in accordance with generally accepted business practices, as well as with the company’s policies and procedures. The Directors have, however, the ultimate responsibility for this system of internal controls.

The Directors have every reason to believe that the company has adequate resources in place to continue in operation in the foreseeable future and have for this reason adopted the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

The external auditors, SizweNtsalubaGobodo Inc., who were given unrestricted access to all financial records and related data, including minutes of the directors meetings, have audited the financial statements. The Directors believe that all representations made to the independent auditors during their audit are valid and appropriate. Their audit report on the annual financial statements is presented on page 5 to 6.

The Directors are of the opinion that the financial statements fairly present the financial position of the company at 31 May 2013, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended. Material facts or circumstances between the balance sheet date and the date that the report has been signed have been disclosed in the financial statements.

As detailed in note 21 to the financial statements, the financial statements could not be consolidated as required by IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financials Statements, in accordance with IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, and the Companies Act No 71 of 2008 as a decision to consolidate was taken late by the directors.

The financial statements which appear on pages 7 to 40 have been approved by the Board of Directors on the 25 October 2013 and signed on its behalf by:

24Black Management Forum Annual Report 2013

Report of the Independent Auditors to the members of the Black Management Forum

We have audited the accompanying annual financial statements of the Black Management Forum, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 May 2013, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in funds and reserves and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes, as set on page 10 to 37.

DIRECTOR’S RESPONSIBILITYThe Directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these annual financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and in the manner required by the Companies Act of South Africa. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of annual financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITYOur responsibility is to express an opinion on these annual financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require thatwe comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurancewhether the annual financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures inthe annual financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the entity’s annual financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the annual financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the annual financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

OPINIONIn our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the company as at 31 May 2013, and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa.

EMPHASIS OF MATTER PARAGRAPHSWe further draw attention to the following matters:

PRESENTATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAs disclosed in the statement of responsibility by directors and note 21 to the financial statements, consolidated financial statements have not been prepared. The statement of responsibility by directors and note 21 further state the reasons for the non-consolidation and the financial impact the consolidation would have on the financial statements.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATIONWe draw attention to the fact that supplementary information set out on page 38 – 40 does not form part of the financial statements and is presented as additional information. We have not audited the schedules and accordingly we do not express an opinion on these schedules.

OTHER MATTERS REQUIRED BY THE COMPANIES ACTAs part of our audit of the financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2013, we have read the director’s report for the purpose of identifying whether there are material inconsistencies between this report and the audited financial statements. This report is the responsibility of the respective preparer. Based on reading this report we have not identified material inconsistencies between this report and the audited financial statements. However, we have not audited this report and accordingly do notexpress an opinion on this report.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2013Directors’ Report

The Directors present their report for the year ended 31 May 2013.1. REVIEW OF ACTIVITIESThe Black Management Forum is a non-racial, thought leadership organisation founded in 1976, with the main purpose of influencing socio-economic transformation of our country, in pursuit of socio-economic justice, fairness and equity. The BMF continues to be vocal on these aforementioned matters and has been keeping Corporate South Africa in check and encouraging participation of the broader South African stakeholders.

The organisation stands for the development and empowerment of managerial leadership primarily amongst black people within organisations and the creation of managerial structures and processes, which reflect the demographics, and values of the wider society.

Whereas the BMF is not apolitical, but is non-partisan. The BMF is however not neutral on matters of transformation. We are pro-transformation.

Amongst the BMF high level activities during the year of reporting, the BMF engaged with many stakeholders and industry players in advocating on socio-economic development matters. Through its strategic focus areas, BMF continues to lobby for and execute its transformational mandate.

In pursuit of managerial leadership development, the BMF facilitates skills building of its members through partnership that caters for executive, senior and other managerial courses.

The net surplus of the company was R11,654,932 (2012: R2,344,659), see the BMF narrative report.

2. GOING CONCERNThe annual financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting policies applicable to a going concern. This basis presumes that funds will be available to finance future operations and that the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities, contingent obligations and commitments will occur in the ordinary course of business.

3. SUBSEQUENT EVENTSThe Directors are not aware of any matters or circumstances arising since the statement of financial position date and the date on which the annual financial statements were approved that may have an impact on these presented financial statements.

4. AUTHORISED AND ISSUED SHARE CAPITALBMF is a non-profit organisation and has no share capital.

32Black Management Forum Annual Report 2013

Accounting Policies1. PRESENTATION OF ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTSThe annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and the Companies Act of South Africa, 2008. The annual financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, and incorporate the principal accounting policies set out below.

These accounting policies are consistent with the previous period.

1.2 ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS In the current year, the company has adopted all new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Accounting Practices Board that are relevant to its operations and are effective. Standards, interpretations and amendments to published standards that are not yet effective are disclosed in note 22.

1.3 CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES MADE IN APPLYING THE ACCOUNTING POLICIESThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses.

The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors, including making assumptions concerning future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are accounted for prospectively.

In process of applying the company’s accounting policies as set out below, management has made the following judgements that have a significant risk of causing material adjustments to the amounts recognised in the financial statements:

A) USEFUL LIVES OF PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENTThe useful lives of property, plant and equipment is reviewed at each balance sheet date. The useful lives are estimated by management based on historic analysis and other available information.

1.4 INVESTMENT IN SUBSIDIARIESSubsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies to obtain benefits from the activities of the entity. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable are considered when assessing whether the company controls another entity.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment losses in the separate financial statements of the company.

The cost of an investment in a subsidiary is the aggregate of:

• the fair value, at the date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the company; plus• any costs directly attributable to the purchase of the subsidiary.

An adjustment to the cost of a business combination contingent on future events is included in the cost of the combination if the adjustment is probable and can be measured reliably.

1.5 INVESTMENT IN ASSOCIATESAssociates are all entities over which the company has significant influence but no control, generally linked to a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights.

The company’s investment in associate includes goodwill (net of any accumulated impairment loss) identified on acquisition.

An investment in an associate is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2013

Accounting Policies Continued

1.6 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENTProperty, plant and equipment are tangible items that:• are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental or others, or for administrative purposes; and• are expected to be used during more than one period.

The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset when:• it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the company; and• the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

Costs include costs incurred initially to acquire or construct an item of property, plant and equipment and costs incurred subsequently to add to, replace part of, or service it. If a replacement cost is recognised in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.

Property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on the straight line basis over their expected useful lives to their estimated residual value.

ITEM AVERAGE USEFUL LIFE

Buildings 40 years

Furniture and fixtures 5 to 6 years

Office equipment 3 to 5 years

Computer equipment 3 years

1.6 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (CONTINUED)The residual value and the useful life of each asset are reviewed at the end of each reporting period.

Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item is depreciated separately.

The depreciation charge for each period is recognised in profit or loss unless it is included in the carrying amount of another asset.

The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment is included in profit or loss when the item is derecognised. The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the item.

IMPAIRMENT OF PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENTProperty, plant and equipment that are subject to depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an assets’ fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units - CGUs)

1.7 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – INITIAL RECOGNITION AND SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT

1.7.1 FINANCIAL ASSETS

INITIAL RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENTThe BMF classifies financial instruments, or their component parts, on initial recognition as a financial asset, a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the BMF’s balance sheet when the BMF becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. They are initially valued at fair value plus transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis, and option pricing models making maximum use of market inputs and relying as little as possible on entity-specific inputs.

34Black Management Forum Annual Report 2013

Accounting Policies Continued

SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENTThe company determines the classification of its financial assets after initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial year end.

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date that the company commits to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regular on convention in the marketplace.

Subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows:

Loans and receivablesLoans and receivables are non-derivatives financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method (EIR), less impairment. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount for premium on acquisition and fee or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance income. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in finance costs.

Available for sale financial assetsAvailable-for-sale financial investments include equity and debt securities. Equity investments classified as available-for-sale are those, which are neither classified as held for trading nor designated at fair value through profit and loss. Debt securities in this category are those which are intended to be held for an indefinite period of time and which may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or in response to changes in the market conditions.

After initial measurement, available-for-sale financial investments are subsequently measured at fair value with unrealised gains or losses recognised as other comprehensive income in the available-for-sale reserve until the investment is derecognised, at which time the cumulative gain or loss is recognised in other operating income, or determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative loss is recognised in other operating income, or determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in finance costs and removed from available-for-sale reserve.

Interest earned or paid on the investments is reported as finance income or expense using the effective interest rate. Dividends earned on investments are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as “Dividends received” when the right of payment has been established.

IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETSThe company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (loss events), and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows that can be reliably estimated.

Available-for-sale financial assetsIf an available-for-sale asset is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost (net of any principal payment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in the statement of comprehensive income is transferred from equity to the statement of comprehensive income. Reversals in respect of equity instruments classified as available for sale are not recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Reversals of impairment losses on debt instruments are reversed through the statement of comprehensive income, if the increase in fair value of the instrument can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

1.7.1 FINANCIAL LIABILITIESINITIAL RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENTFinancial liabilities within the scope of IAS 39 are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss or loans and borrowings. The company determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and in the case of loans and borrowings, plus directly attributable transaction costs.

SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENTThe measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as follows:

Interest bearing loans and borrowingsAll loans and borrowings are initially recognised at fair value less directly attributable transaction coats, and have not been designated ‘as fair value through profit or loss.’

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2013

Accounting Policies ContinuedAfter initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the amortization process

1.7.2 DERECOGNITION OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Financial assetsA financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised where:

• The right to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;• The company retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party

under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement;• The company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset,

or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset

Where the company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognised to the extent of the company’s continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the company could be required to repay.

Where continuing involvement takes the form of a written and/or purchased option (including a cash-settled option or similar provision) on the transferred asset, the extent of the company’s continuing involvement is the amount of the transferred asset that the company may repurchase, except that in the case of a written put option (including a cash-settled option or similar provision) on an asset measured at fair value, the extent of the company’s continuing involvement is limited to the lower of the fair value of the transferred asset and the option exercise price.

Financial liabilitiesA financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the profit or loss.

1.7.3 OFFSETTING OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSFinancial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realised the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

1.7.5 LOANS TO GROUP COMPANIESThese include loans to subsidiaries and are recognised initially at fair value plus direct transaction costs.

On loans receivable, an impairment loss is recognised in surplus or deficit when there is objective evidence that it is impaired. The impairment is measured as the difference between the investment’s carrying amount and the fair value.

Impairment value are reversed in subsequent periods when an increase in the investment’s recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to the restriction that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed shall not exceed the fair value which would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

Loans to (from) group companies are classified as loans and receivables.

1.7.6 TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLESTrade receivables are measured at initial recognition at cost. Allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts are recognised in surplus or deficit when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired.

Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments (more than 30 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The allowance recognised is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the estimated amount to be recovered.

The carrying amount of the assets reduced through the use of an allowance account, and the amount of the loss is recognised in the income statement within

Accounting Policies Continuedoperating expenses. When a trade receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account for trade receivable. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against operating expenses in the income statement.

1.7.7 TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLESTrade payables are initially measured at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

1.7.8 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTSCash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investment that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These are initially and subsequently recorded at cost.

1.8 INVENTORYInventory is stated at the lower of cost, determined on the weighted average cost basis, and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the market value of the promotional merchandise less the estimated selling expenses.

1.9 LEASESA lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership.

(A) OPERATING LEASE - LESSEEPayments made under operating leases are recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The difference between the amounts recognised as an expense and the contractual payments are recognised as an operating lease asset or liability. This asset or liability is not discounted. Any contingent rentals are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

(B) FINANCE LEASESFinance leases are recognised as assets and liabilities in the balance sheet at amounts equal to the fair value of the leased asset, or if lower the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet as finance lease obligation.

The discount rate used in calculating the present value of the minimum lease payments is the interest rate implicit in the lease.

The lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of the remaining balance of the liability.

1.10 IMPAIRMENTThe carrying amounts of the company’s assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is an indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated.

An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.

When a decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset has been recognised directly in equity and there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, the cumulative loss that had been recognised directly in equity is recognised in profit or loss even though the financial asset has not been derecognised. The amount of the cumulative loss that is recognised in profit or loss is the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss.

(A) CALCULATION OF RECOVERABLE AMOUNTThe recoverable amount of the company’s receivables carried at amortised cost is calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition of these financial assets). Receivables with a shorter duration are not discounted.

The recoverable amount of other assets is the greater of their net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash flows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

37Black Management Forum Annual Report 2013

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2013

Accounting Policies Continued

(B) REVERSAL OF IMPAIRMENTAn impairment loss in respect of a receivable carried at amortised cost is reversed if the subsequent increase in recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised. An impairment loss in respect of an investment in an equity instrument classified as available-for-sale is not reversed through profit or loss. If the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available-for-sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss, the impairment loss shall be reversed, with the amount of the reversal recognised in profit or loss.

An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the assets carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

In respect of other assets, an impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.

1.11 REVENUERevenue includes membership fees, consulting services, workshops, sponsorships, conferences, and functions, interest income, and dividends.

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the organization and that revenue can be reliably measured.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents the amounts receivable for membership fees, consulting services, workshops, sponsorships and functions.

Interest is recognised, in profit or loss, using the effective interest rate method.

Membership fees and sponsorships are recognised as revenue when no significant uncertainty as to its collectability exists, over a period of membership and sponsorship.

Income from workshops and functions is recognised when the event takes place.

Dividends are recognised, in profit or loss, when the company’s right to receive payment has been established.

1.12 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

(A) SHORT-TERM EMPLOYEE BENEFITSThe cost of short-term employee benefits are recognised in the period in which the service is rendered and are not discounted except in the case of non-accumulated absences, which is recognised when the absence occurs.

20. RISK MANAGEMENT

The BMF‘s activities expose it to liquidity risk and credit risk.

LIQUIDITY RISKThe BMF’s risk to liquidity is a result of the funds available to cover future commitments. The BMF manages liquidity risk through an ongoing review of future commitments and credit facilities.

Cash flow forecasts are prepared and adequately utilised borrowing facilities are monitored.

The table below analyses the company’s financial liabilities and net-settled derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balance due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT

Loans to related parties – interest free

Finance lease liability – fixed payments for 60 months

CREDIT RISK

Credit risk consists mainly of cash deposits, cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and trade debtors. The BMF only deposits cash with major banks with high quality credit standing and limits exposure to any one counter-party.

21. PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSThe Directors have elected not to prepare consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, read with IAS28, Investment in Associates. This would have required the company to apply the equity method for its share of profit or losses of BMF Investment Limited and to consolidate the results, financial position and cash flows of BMF Leadership Search (Proprietary) Limited and BMF Empowerlogic (Proprietary) Limited. As detailed in note 3 and 4, the company has a significant influence over BMF Investment Limited and control over BMF Leadership Search (Proprietary) Limited and BMF Empowerlogic (Proprietary) Limited.

These investments were acquired in order to diversify sources of funding and to reduce to some extent reliance on funds raised in the form of sponsorships by the company. The investments are therefore held for the purposes of earning dividends to funds operations and not necessarily capital appreciation. The activities of the associate and the subsidiaries are undertaken for profit motives whereas Black Management Forum is a non-profit organisation. The Directors believe therefore that for these reasons, the application of the equity method on the share of profits of BMF Investment Limited and presenting this on consolidated financial statements as well as consolidating the other subsidiaries would both be misleading as well as detrimental to the company’s fundraising activities.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2013

The Directors believe that the separate financial statements of the company fairly present the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the company for the year under review.

The effect of this election is as follows:

Subsidiaries would have been consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group.

Investments in associates would have been accounted for using the equity method. The group‟s share of its associates post-acquisition profits or losses would have been recognised in profit or loss for the period, and its share of post-acquisition movement in reserves is recognised in reserves. The cumulative post-acquisition movements would be included in the carrying amount of the investment.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gain on transactions between the group companies would be eliminated.
