Analysis of variances
• The overall under spending by the Department was R1,145 million which is 0.11 % of the budget
• The main reason for the under spending relates to the procurement of goods and services whereby orders were raised during the 2010/2011 financial year but delivery thereof and processing of invoices and payments happened subsequent to that. This was mainly on Programme 1: Administration
5
Analysis of variances
• Mine Health and Safety Branch reflected 100% spending. An amount of R4.9 million was re-allocated to other Branches to cater for over expenditure
• Although Mineral Regulation Branch reflected 100% spending, an amount of R6.2 million was re-allocated to this Branch from other Branches to cater for higher than anticipated expenditure
• Mineral Policy and Promotion Branch reflected 100% spending. An amount of R2 million was re-allocated to other Branches for higher than anticipated expenditure

Analysis of Unspent Fund
• Under spending has been consistently below 3% for the last three years
• For the year under review, the unspent funds is attributable to the late receipt of invoices and consequent delay in processing payments
• However, this is not a true reflection of the matter as there is a huge gap between the unspent amount and the accrual raised which would have had constituted unauthorised expenditure had payment been done in time.

Statement of Financial Performance: Variance analysis
• The staff cost decreased as a result of the split of Department of Minerals and Energy into Dept of Mineral Resources and Dept of Energy. (1,076 vs 1,272)
• The G & S cost is relatively low compared to 2009/10 owing to split of Dept of Minerals and Energy. However the operating lease cost increases due to the relocation of the Head Office and some of the Regional offices
• The decrease in Tangible capital assets cost is attributable mostly to the leasehold improvements for Trevenna paid in 2009/10
11
Statement of Financial Performance: Variance analysis
• Decrease of 88.55% in transfers and subsidies is due to the fact that most of the transfers for the former DME relate to Dept of Energy
• Financial transactions in assets and liabilities went down by 94% due to fewer losses written off during the financial year.

Report on Material Losses - Assets: Root Cause and Action Plan
Category Root Cause Action Plan
1. Assets that could not be verified for two or more consecutive years
• Duplication in the Assets Register
• Tag replacement process during verification has been defined in 2010/2011
•Process for the IT equipment replacement/movement has been developed for implementation by 30 November 2011
2. Assets that went missing during the relocation
•Poor synchronisation of activities involved in the relocation
•Capacity challenges
•Project management for relocation will include all aspects that have impact on the relocation
24
Report on Material Losses - Assets: Root Cause and Action Plan
Category Root Cause Action Plan
3. Assets that could not be moved (fixtures)
• Lack of distinct method to record fixtures on the Asset Register
•To record them distinctively so that they can be written off immediately after relocation
4. Leased Assets •Lack of distinct method to record fixtures on the Asset Register
•Recording of Leased Assets distinctively started during the 2010/11 financial year
5. Reported Losses •Assets Lost by Officials
•To review the processes of reporting and recording losses•Implement the Loss Management Strategy
25
Report on Accruals• The R1,1 million unspent funds to be surrendered would
not have been sufficient to cover the accrual raised at the end of the year and this seem to be a growing trend.
• Records show a trend between accruals and unspent funds for the past two financial periods as follows:
2009/2010:
R19,6 million vs R11,5 million (deficit of R8,1 million)
2010/2011:
R37,7 million vs R3,8 million (deficit of R33,9 million)
• The unauthorised expenditure that would have been incurred by the Department as shown by the deficit above is an indication that there are serious challenges in the allocation of budget for Goods and Services
26
Progress on BRRR Recommendations
Recommendation:
The Minister needs to ensure that capacity within the department is built and therefore avail/provide for the necessary resources including financial budget
DMR Response:
Funding problems have always been the challenge as illustrated in the next slide. This has a negative impact on performance as limited funding inhibits achievements of some of the set objectives thereby affecting service delivery

The Department has, as at 30 September 2011, disbursed R519.1 million which represents 50.10% of the total budget allocation of R1.036 billion for the 2011/12 financial year.
This was R64.9 million (11.11%) lesser than the projected expenditure of R583.9 million
SLOW SPENDING AREASSLOW SPENDING AREAS
1. Transfer Payments
The year to date transfer payments totalling R42.7 million which mostly includes:
– R23 million in respect of IDCSA for Small Scale Mining
– R9 million for assistance to mines– R9.3 million in respect of Mintek
rehabilitation of ownerless and derelict mines projections were changed during the year
35
SLOW SPENDING AREAS (CONTSLOW SPENDING AREAS (CONT))
2. Goods and Services
The underspending in this category is mainly due to the outstanding payments totalling R6.6.million in respect of office accommodation to the Department of Public Works which accounts for 61.4% of the under spending
Other contributing factor are vacancies as a result of the Department’s inability to attract professional bands and the time frame associated with filling of the posts
