CONCLUSION
16
The 2017/18 Annual Report is glaring on challenges faced by Necsa.
Commitment from the Board to steer ship on the right track.
Necsa is responsible for South Africa’s key assets, such as the SAFARI-
1 Reactor.
Employs highly skilled scientists, especially in the nuclear field.
Additional resources have been allocated to deal with the 2018/19
audit.
CONCLUSION
■ Liabilities exceeding Assets
Audited Annual Financial Statements as at 31 March 2018, the
liabilities did not exceed assets.
However, going forward there is a likelihood that this may occur.
Audited AFS Necsa’s the total assets R 5 637 249 000 and total
liabilities R 5 610 953 000.
Group, total assets were R 6 961 549 000 and total liabilities were
R 5 764 566 000.
