FPB Successes
• National, Regional, International visibility • Online Regulation – Agreements with distributors in place
(Altech, Apple, Google) • Our classification processes and governance are more
rigorous and effective due to online submission of games • Financial systems are sound, we had 5 years of unqualified
audit reports. • Reduced the % of appeals to classified material due to
improved operational efficiencies and training of Classifiers • We have developed a training manual for the classifiers
which will be accredited through UNISA as a formal training programme
• Inadequate empirical research and industry-specific expertise
• Proliferation of content on various platforms (local and international), accessible to South African citizens, especially online
• Increase of illegal content and user generated content (especially Child Pornography)
• Cyber-safety as it relates to children
• Inadequate regulatory tools for online content distribution (pending legislative amendments, Online Strategy implementation, ICT tools)
• Limited enforcement of FP Act provisions (inadequate enforcement provisions)
• Reduced funding sources to meet an expanding mandate (Decreased revenue generation due to shift from physical to online distribution)

Report on Irregular Expenditure
Report on Irregular Expenditure
• During the third quarter it was noted that one of our service providers did not deliver services contracted upon, as a result of which, the total amount of R 1 080 000 paid to the service provider was identified as irregular expenditure.
• After internal investigation, it was determined that there was a breach of procurement processes and disciplinary processes are underway.
• Recovery processes were also instituted against the service provider. FPB has since received a written offer of settlement from the service provider.
