Annual Report of the Compensation Fund 20144

3. FOREWORD BY THE ACTING DIRECTOR- GENERAL

Introduction

The Compensation Fund herewith presents its Annual Report for the 2013/14 financial year in terms of Section 55 (1)(d) of the Public Finance Management Act, No 1 of 1999, (as amended by Act 29 of 1999). The Annual Report sets out how the Fund performed on the achievement of outcomes outlined in the 2013/14 Annual Performance Plan. The Annual Report focuses on information that is collected by the Fund in the course of fulfilling its mandate and implementing government policies. This information is vital in enhancing transparency, accountability and oversight in terms of assessing the value-for-money derived from the Fund’s activities. The information reported in the Annual Report include the actual achievements, financial position and human resources information for the reporting period in relation to the planned targets and budgets as published in the Fund’s Strategic Plan, Annual Performance Plan and budget documents.

High-level overview of the Compensation Fund’s Strategy and its performance

During the year under review, the Fund developed its Annual Performance Plan in order to pursue its objective of providing compensation for disablement caused by occupational injuries or diseases and its vision of being a world-class provider of sustainable compensation for occupational injuries and diseases, rehabilitation and reintegration services.

In improving a high performing workforce, the Compensation Fund recruited a Chief Financial Officer. The process to appoint a Chief Director: Operations Management was also initiated in this financial year.

As directed by the Minister in last year’s budget, the Compensation Fund piloted the Rand Mutual Assurance (RMA) Integrated Claims Management System. The Compensation Fund finalised the process of piloting the RMA Claims Management Processing System to assess its capabilities with the view to determine its functionality. Robust change management and consultations were conducted to keep all stakeholders informed of the pilot project.

Challenges faced by the Compensation Fund

The Fund continues to experience a number of business challenges which have led to an untenable situation resulting in:

i dd 4 2014/10/14 9 35 AM

Page 7: Submission of the Compensation Fund Annual Report Minister of … · 2015-04-13 · ii annual report of the compensation fund 2014 table of content part a general information 1 1

Annual Report of the Compensation Fund 2014 5

The Fund is still experiencing non-compliance by stakeholders. Stakeholders, such as employers, still submit incomplete information and beneficiaries delay to submit the required documents (banking details, medical reports) resulting in non-payment of compensation benefits. The improvement of the electronic and automated employer declarations and claims processing solutions will resolve some of these challenges. The business processes within the Fund will be simplified, through the introduction of the Smart Forms which will also reduce the administrative burden of employers and other stakeholders, to comply and interact with the Fund.

Fraudulent activities are still negatively affecting the finalisation of employer assessments and the debt book continues to increase. This is due to the fraudulent Letters of Good Standing which were issued, in most cases not in accordance with Compensation Fund policy. To improve governance and risk management, the Fund will put improved internal controls and intelligent audit and risk management systems in place.

Medium- to long-term goals of the Compensation Fund

The Fund has commenced with the implementation of the Turnaround and Modernisation Strategy. Some of the critical initiatives to be undertaken as part of the Strategy include the following:

term Strategic Framework 2014 – 2019

Through the Department of Labour (DoL), the Fund will strive to have an agile and well capacitated ICT organisation which is able to support the current operations and the turnaround initiatives. The Fund will come up with an innovative and flexible sourcing model to provide capacity and services “just in time” and “as and when needed”.

Acknowledgements

I wish to extend my sincere appreciation to staff, management, the Board and the Minister for their unwavering support.

Annual Report of the Compensation Fund 20146

4. COMMISSIONER’S REPORT

During the financial year under review, the Compensation Fund (Fund) made progress in achieving its objectives, the details of which are outlined as follows:

1. Income and investments

1.1. Assessment revenue

The Fund raised R8.1 billion (* R7.9 billion) assessment revenue, as compared to R5.3 billion (* R6.4 billion) in the previous financial year, an increase of 53 % (* 24%). This increase is due to the introduction of the Return of Earnings (ROE) website that was initiated for employers to submit electronically and no longer submit their ROE manually. This project was successful as over 94,000 (ninety four thousand) employers submitted their returns online.

Notwithstanding the challenges of the downtime and the slowness of the website, the Fund amassed revenue returns of over R8.1 billion and of which R6.4 billion (* R7.2 billion) rand was collected from the employers, a decrease (* an increase) of 68% (* 12.5%) from R3.8 billion (* R6.4 billion) that was collected in the preceding year.

1.2. Investment revenue

Due to the massive increase of revenue, the Fund had to investment over R1.6 billion (* R4.7 billion) in cash with the Public Investment Corporation (PIC). The net investment income for both the PIC and ABSA (the Fund’s banker) was R4.1 billion (* R1.7 billion) compared to R3.1 billion (* R4.1 billion) the previous years, denoting a decrease of 32% (* 141%) as a result of fair value adjustment.

Overall the total value of assets has increased by R8.1 billion (* R6.1 billion) from R32.7 billion (* R35.3 billion) to R40.8 billion (* R41.4 billion), a 25% (* 17%) increase.

The total surplus for the year increased (* decreased) by 360% (* 50%) from R2 billion (* R8.1 billion) to R9.2 billion (* R4.1 billion) and the accumulated surplus is R23.4 billion (* R26.4 billion). The Fund is fully funded and is in a sound financial position as at 31 March 2014.

2. Compensation claims

Claims incurred for the year amounted to R2 billion (R2.4 billion: 2012) (* R2.7 billion) (* R1.9 billion: 2013), a decrease of 2% (* an increase of 42%). This is merely attributed to the SAP ICM system which posed serious challenges since its inception in 1 October 2011. There was a marginal increase (*decrease) in processing of permanent disability which moved from R79 million (* R89 million) to R118 million (* R87 million).

In order to address the backlog of processing medical claims, the Fund acquired services of EOH medical solutions to electronically process medical claims. Since this project started in December 2012 over 500 million medical claims were paid.

* Subsequent to the receipt of the audit opinion from the AGSA, it was discovered that some of the figures in the Annual Report were incorrect. The revised figures and text are indicated with an asterisk in brackets, which

represent the figures that should have been in the Annual Report.

3. Budget

During the year under review the Fund spent 98% (* 79%) budget of compensation for employees and 78% (* 41%) of goods and services.

In terms of revenue, the Fund far exceeded its own expectations by 164% (*151%) mark of its target this is really attributable to ROE website.

4. Social security reforms

In an effort to entrench and transform social security in South Africa, the Fund’s board and management undertook a study tour to Germany to familiarise themselves with the mechanisms and requirements for the implementation of a new transformed compensation system in South Africa.

This will support the Fund in its efforts to ensure guaranteed employment, rehabilitation and alternative re-entry programmes in the labour market. The German government is working closely together with the South African government to ensure that the amendments proposed in the Compensation Bill will contribute to the realisation of a better life for all.

5. Challenges

i. In the year under review the Fund was not able to give employers access to information which could assist them to comply.

ii. Due to the current systems the Fund has been using to process and pay claims, the Fund was unable to meet the growing demands of clients. In the same year the Fund was inundated with queries and complaints from workers – who deservedly were unable to access their benefits – and medical service providers – who had resorted to litigation processes in order to have their invoices adjudicated and paid.

iii. It was confirmed that the Fund’s systems and processes are not able to effectively detect and prevent fraud and corrupt activities perpetrated by both officials and service providers.

Despite the Fund’s efforts to communicate it’s services and employee rights to the public, these efforts have been rendered ineffective as a result of these challenges.

6. Achievements

6.1. Umehluko Pilot Project

These challenges did not deter the Fund in achieving its goals. With the support of the Minister of Labour, the Fund successfully piloted a new claims management system called “Umehluko” offered by Rand Mutual Assurance (RMA). RMA is the licensee under COIDA. This system provides for the online submission of accident reports by employers, and medical reports and invoices by medical service providers. It also allows the Fund to electronically adjudicate and pay compensation benefits and refunds to employers.

Employers and medical providers, through this system, can monitor the progress on each claim submitted. We hope that the new system, if successfully implemented, will do away with the challenges of the past.

6.2. Letters of Good Standing

During the year under review the Fund implemented an online system to process Return on Earnings. This system allows all employers that are paid up, to access their Letters of Good Standing on the website. This has enabled prospective businesses to have easy access to documentation required for tender processes by both government and the private sector.

* Subsequent to the receipt of the audit opinion from the AGSA, it was discovered that some of the figures in the Annual Report were incorrect. The revised figures and text are indicated with an asterisk in brackets, which

Annual Report of the Compensation Fund 20148

6.3. Increased investments

In the same financial year under review, the Fund was able to generate additional reserves in excess of * R4.7 billion through its operations and investment initiatives to such an extent that at the end the financial year the Fund can proudly report reserves to the amount of * R41.4 billion

The Board, in their desire to promote job creation and investment in the South African economy, has set aside R3.8 billion – available through PIC and IDC as institutions of choice – to implement the investment strategy. In addition, the Fund has set aside R500 million, which is equally matched by the UIF, for the provision of government infrastructure. This is in line with government’s commitment to the provision and supply of service delivery infrastructure to the South African population.

6.4. Fraudulent activities

A hotline for the anonymous reporting of fraudulent and corrupt activities has been established. This has led to a decline in fraud and corrupt activities within the Compensation Fund.

7. Conclusion

My sincere appreciation is accorded to the Minister of Labour for her active involvements, encouragement and unwavering support.

I would like to thank the Board who unreservedly contributed to the performance direction of the Fund.

Lastly, to the staff and management, I would like to acknowledge their commitment and unfailing support.

5. STATEMENT OF RESPONSIBILITY AND CONFIRMATION OF ACCURACY OF THE ANNUAL REPORT

To the best of my knowledge and belief, I confirm the following:

All information and amounts disclosed in the Annual Report is consistent with the Annual Financial Statements audited by the Auditor General. The Annual Report is complete, accurate and is free from any omissions. The Annual Report has been prepared in accordance with the guidelines for annual report as issued by National Treasury.

The Annual Financial Statements (Part E) have been prepared in accordance with the Generally Recognised Accounting Practice standards applicable to public entities. The Accounting Authority is responsible for the preparation of the Annual Financial Statements and for the judgements made in this information.

The Accounting Authority is responsible for establishing and implementing a system of internal control that has been designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the integrity and reliability of the performance information, the human resources information and the Annual Financial Statements. External auditors are engaged to express an independent opinion on the Annual Financial Statements.

In my opinion, the Annual Report fairly reflects the operations, the performance information, the human resource information and the financial affairs of the entity for the financial year ended 31 March 2014.

6.3. Values

We shall at all times adhere to or live the Batho Pele Principles.

6.4. Strategic outcome oriented goals

Government has agreed on 12 outcomes as the key focus of its work for the period 2009 to 2014. Each outcome has a limited number of measurable high-impact priority outputs and sub-outputs with targets. These 12 outcomes reflect government’s mandate and link up with the 10 Medium-Term Strategic Framework’s (MTSF’s) priorities. There are two outcomes applicable to the Compensation Fund, which formed the basis of its Strategic Plan. The two outcomes identified for the Compensation Fund were:

inclusive citizenship

Based on the two outcomes discussed above, the Compensation Fund has developed four key strategic outcome oriented goals. These outcome oriented goals are priorities which form the basis of the Compensation Fund’s strategic objectives. The strategic outcomes identified will be the results of the Fund’s performance as viewed by the beneficiaries and will be the consequence of achieving the outputs. The table below indicates the alignment of government outcomes, DoL strategic objectives (KRA’s), CF strategic outcomes and CF strategic objectives.

7. LEGISLATIVE AND OTHER MANDATES

7.1. Constitutional mandate

The mandate of the Compensation Fund is derived from Section 27 (1)(c) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa. In terms of this Act, all South Africans have a right to social security. The Compensation Fund is mandated to provide social security to all injured and diseased employees.

7.2. Legislative mandate

The Compensation Fund is a Public Entity of the Department of Labour. The Fund administers the Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act No 130/1993 as amended by the COIDA 61/1997. The main objective of the Act is to provide compensation for disablement caused by occupational injuries or diseases sustained or contracted by employees, or for death resulting from such injuries or diseases, and provide for matters connected therewith.

The Fund generates its revenue from levies paid by employers, which consists mainly of annual assessments paid by registered employers on a basis of a percentage or fixed rate of the annual earnings of their employees. The COID Act, however, makes provision for a minimum assessment to ensure that the assessment is not less than the administration costs incurred.

The operations of the Compensation Fund are also affected by the following legislation:

9. REPORTING FRAMEWORK

10. MINIMISING CONFLICT OF INTEREST

In terms of Chapter 3 of the Public Service Regulations, 2001, designated employees (i.e. members of the Senior Management Service) are required to disclose their registrable interests to their Executive Authorities by 30 April of each year. During the period under review all members of the Senior Management Service (SMS) in the Fund had declared their financial interest as required. In addition, when the Fund procures Goods and Services, all suppliers are required to complete standard bidding documents that require them to disclose any conflict of interest with the Fund or any relationship the members of the bidding company may have with staff employed by the Fund or the State. This information is reviewed during the bid process and any discrepancies noted are managed accordingly.

11. HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

Occupational Health and Safety is dedicated to ensuring that the business risks (operations) across the organisation are identified, evaluated and managed accordingly, and ensure compliance with the OHS Act of 1993 which is enforced by the Department of Labour, corporate governance and other legislation.

The Fund ensured that training of employees on how to handle unsafe environments, took place. It also promoted health and safety awareness among all employees within the organisation. In addition it established precautionary measures to protect employees and the public against potential hazards.

12. CODE OF CONDUCT

Chapter 2 of the Public Service Regulations, 2001 regulates the conduct of Fund staff. The code of conduct acts as a guideline to employees as to what is expected of them from an ethical point of view, both in their individual conduct and in their relationship with others. The purpose of the code of conduct is to enhance professionalism and assist in ensuring confidence in state institutions. During the reporting period the Fund disseminated a copy of the code of conduct through the internal communication channel. The purpose of this was to inform and sensitise staff members about behaviour that is acceptable in the work environment.

13. SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

The mandate between PIC and the Fund was concluded and signed off. Over and above the investment initiatives aimed at sustaining the Fund as a going concern, this mandate gives effect to the investment by the Fund in Social Responsibility activities.

The PIC is currently managing two funds for the Compensation Fund, namely, the Compensation Fund (CC) and The Compensation Pension Fund (CP). The Funds are invested at 5% for SRI for CC and 5% for CP. The status at 30 June 2014 was hat there is a total of R1.8 billion of SRI investments in a due diligence phase. These include:

The Accounting Authority is responsible for the preparation of the Fund’s performance information and for the judgements made in this information. Measures have been put in place to provide reasonable assurance on the integrity and reliability of performance information. The performance information has been monitored on a quarterly basis and fairly reflects the performance information of the Fund for the financial year ended 31 March 2014.

2. AUDITOR GENERAL’S REPORT: PREDETERMINED OBJECTIVES

In accordance with the PAA and the general notice issued in terms thereof, AGSA reported significant findings on the performance information against predetermined objectives for selected programmes presented in the annual performance report, non-compliance with legislation, as well as internal control.

The objective of the AGSA in conducting tests was to identify reportable findings regarding the reliability and usefulness of performance information but not to gather evidence to express assurance on these matters. Accordingly, AGSA did not express an opinion or conclusion on these matters.

Refer to Part E, page 106, for the AGSA Audit Report.

3. OVERVIEW OF THE COMPENSATION FUND’S PERFORMANCE

3.1. Service delivery environment

The Directorate: Compensation Benefits is divided into three sub-directorates, namely, Claims Registration, Exempted Employers and Private Employers. The main functions of the Directorate are to register claims for injured/diseased employees, adjudicate upon liability of a claim and pay compensation. This section of the report will be focusing on the aforementioned areas.

3.1.1. Registration and processing of claims

The Fund registered a total of 310,710 claims during the financial year 2013/2014. 260,253 of these claims were adjudicated (84%).

Adjudication is the process of establishing the Fund’s liability with regards to a claim. The process involves requesting additional information where information is not sufficient to establish the validity of a claim, accepting liability or repudiating a claim. The table below gives a comparison for the last three financial years of the claims registered, claims accepted, claims repudiated and claims with outstanding information. The number of claims registered has increased and the reasons for this may be the improved claims system that was launched in 2011, together with the backlog elimination projects that have been embarked upon and also partly the positive impact of decentralisation.

The adjustment of benefits has been determined on the basis of the actuarial investigations and recommendations by the Compensation Fund Board. The increases are effective from April 2014.

3.1.4. Decentralisation of COIDA Services

The Compensation Fund has decentralised claims processing services to all nine provinces with the aim of being accessible to its stakeholders and to improve claims processing turnaround time. The decentralisation project started in earnest from October 2013 and most of the staff has relocated to the provinces of their choice. HO is supporting them. Challenges of infrastructure, office space, change management, etc. are being addressed by different work streams on the decentralisation project to ensure smooth transition.

The above table is the comparison of claims registered in the province in question from 2011/12 until 2013/14. This illustrates the number of claims each province has handled and this depends on the size of the province. The number of claims where the province is unspecified includes claims registered by personnel at head office, while they were awaiting deployment to various provinces. Most staff only relocated after October 2013. Claims were still being registered since the start of the financial year.

ChallengesDecentralisation of COID services is not finalised.

3.1.5. Compliance with COIDA: Monitoring of exempted employers and unreported accidents

The Fund has determined Section 88 administrative costs for all government departments, mutual associations and exempted municipalities on claims registered during 2013/14 to the value of R3,456,000.

3.1.6. Contributions to the social security comprehensive reforms

The Compensation Fund is a member of the Inter-departmental Task Team on comprehensive social security reforms. The framework for the comprehensive social security reforms has been developed. The Compensation Fund has made contributions to the Consolidated Government Paper, to the Road Accident Benefits Scheme Bill and to the National Health Insurance.

The Fund participated in the SADC conference on the portability of social security benefits, organised by the Southern Africa Trust in partnership with Food Foundation and Southern Africa Mine Workers Association (SAMA). The objectives of the conference were to, amongst others:

A task team was appointed to chart the way forward in finding mechanisms to support mine workers and their dependents. The task team will commence with its activities in the new financial year.

3.1.7. Prevention of accidents through strengthening of civil society fund

In its quest to advocate policy on injury on duty and occupational health, the Compensation Fund has funded 18 non-profit organisations to train union shop stewards, employees and the communities on the Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act as well as on Occupational Health and Safety Act. Of the 18 projects, four projects were running from 2012 while the remaining 14 were approved during 2013 and some only started in April 2014.

The Strengthening Civil Society Fund Committee (SCSF) in the Department is responsible for assessing and approving project proposals from various organisations.

Since all these new projects were only approved in December 2013, most of them started in January 2014 and their reports will be available in the new financial year as they are planned to operate over a period of 12 months.

As part of monitoring and evaluation, the Compensation Fund developed COIDA guidelines as a basis for developing training material to be used by the projects. Spreadsheets for claims enquiries were also developed for all the projects to monitor and evaluate the impact of the training workshops. The Fund participated in training conducted nationwide and in radio interviews with community and national radio stations in five languages.

Annual Report of the Compensation Fund 201428

3.1.9.1. Litigation

This section is responsible for management of litigation and contracts with the intent to avoid unnecessary legal proceedings against the Fund and to ensure compliance with the Act.

215 notices of motion, summons and letters of demand were received and 26 have been finalised. The remaining applications are active as pleadings are being exchanged.

3.1.9.2. Third-party

The Third-party section recovers moneys from the third parties, specifically the Road Accident Fund where an employee was involved in a motor vehicle accident whilst on duty in terms of Section 36 of the COIDA. If liability for compensation is accepted, the Fund will pay compensation and recover what it has paid from the Road Accident Fund (RAF).

3.1.9.3. Contracts and legal opinions

The section is responsible for the drafting/vetting of contracts to ensure compliance with the relevant legislations and ensure that Supply Chain procedures have been complied with. It is also responsible for legal advice to avoid unnecessary litigation.

3.1.9.4. Hearings

In terms of Section 91 any person who is affected by the decision of the Director-General relating to a claim for compensation, may lodge an objection against such decision which may be reviewed in terms of Section 90 and or be heard by the Compensation Fund tribunal. The tribunal decisions can only be reviewed and appealed in the High Court.

Section 91 objections:

Of the 1,219 files outstanding, 50 employees were untraceable, 172 require further medical advice and referral, and 577 are already enrolled and due for hearing by the tribunal. In terms of Section 56 employees are entitled to claim increased compensation in the event where an accident was caused by the negligence of the employer or a person deemed to be a supervisor/manager. Such claims are adjudicated in a similar process as Section 91 objections.

Section 56 applications:

Close to R3.4 million was paid to panel members, witnesses, recording firms, etc. for their participation in the hearing processes.

Return of Earnings (ROE) campaign

The campaign informed employers about the electronic submission of their Annual Returns and the deadline thereof. The employers were also informed about the newly designed electronic Letter of Good Standing which can be downloaded remotely through the website once they have paid their assessments. Awareness on how to identify the security features of this electronic letter was provided to ensure that employers are not defrauded.

The ROE campaign ran on the following platforms:

Media Relations

During this financial year, the Fund had direct interaction with clients through nationwide community radio talk show programmes where clients had a chance to obtain information directly from the Fund. These programmes were conducted in all the official languages to ensure maximum reach.

Three (3) interviews were coordinated for the Compensation Commissioner and profiled on the following business magazines:

21 media enquiries on Fund related issues were responded to and published on both print and electronic media.

Marketing

The Fund participated in the following events where its services were displayed: Ministerial Imbizos in Khayelitsha and Saldana Bay in November 2013 and March 2014, respectively. In addition, exhibitions were held at conferences in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng provinces in September 2013 and March 2014, respectively.

3.2. Overview of the organisational environment

During the year under review, the new organisational structure for the Fund was implemented on the Personnel and Salary Administration (PERSAL) system with effect from 1 April 2013. As part of the implementation of the new structure, a number of newly created positions in the middle and senior management levels were prioritised for advertisement in an endeavour to strengthen capacity. In addition, the Placement Panel which was established towards the end of 2012/13 financial year commenced its work of moving employees from the old to the new organisational structure.

As part of the placement process, directorates were invited to the meetings of the Placement Panel where they presented proposals on the positions to which employees in their components could be placed in line with their competencies. Such proposals for placement took place in relation to posts on the same salary levels. Once the Placement Panel was satisfied that the proposals were in line with the Placement Framework and Procedure for employees of the Department of Labour (SR 12 and below), submissions were prepared for the approval of direct placement.

It must also be noted that the need to deliver medical and compensation activities effectively has resulted in the creation of integrated posts. These posts were subjected to a job evaluation process which resulted in the entry level being salary level 6 for claims processors. It is imperative to note that the majority of employees in the Directorates: Medical and Compensation were employed on salary level 5. This matter coupled with the fact that entry level positions in provinces in these two areas, were salary level 6 created a challenge.

Annual Report of the Compensation Fund 2014 31

A proposal was made to organised labour through the established Placement Panel that choice forms should be issued to all the employees in the affected directorates, including those on SR5 to, identify the province where they would like to permanently relocate to. This information together with performance assessment results would be utilised to approach the Minister of Labour with a request to upgrade these employees into newly created salary level 6 posts in provinces. However, upon the analysis of the choices made by employees it was realised that with respect to the Gauteng province there were more employees than the number of posts available on SR 6 in particular. In light of the above, it became clear that the submission to the Minister would have to be delayed in order to ensure that all the SR 5 employees affected are upgraded with effect from the same date. Failure to take this approach would have resulted in grievances being lodged as affected employees would have demanded parity.

In order to improve service delivery, the Fund embarked on a consultative process with Directorates to identify challenges impacting on its ability to function effectively. This process identified a number of challenges which had affected the performance of the Fund. Among some of the most critical challenges were inefficient IT systems, turnaround times in the processing of compensation claims, backlogs in processing claims and payments, human capacity constraints, document and records management system, confrontational nature of engagement with trade unions, delays in the implementation of the structure, non-compliance by stakeholders with regards to incomplete information by employers, failure by employers to submit their annual returns, delay and/or non-reporting of accidents and fraudulent activities which were still negatively affecting the finalisation of employer assessments and the debt book which continues to increase. This process culminated in the development of a Turnaround and Modernisation Strategy.

Annual Report of the Compensation Fund 201432

The total debt book excludes a provision for assessments raised as compared to the inclusion of provision for assessments not raised of R947 million. The provision for assessment raised is an estimate of assessment not raised as a result of mainly annual returns not submitted by employers or assessed timeously.

The overall debt collection has increased by 25% as compared to the previous financial year. The increase is attributable to the enforcement of the COID Act as well as intensifying debt collection procedures by strengthening the criteria for issuing letters of good standing.

During the year under review the Fund had a saving of R2.3 million. Most of the savings came from administration to the amount of R1.6 million.

3.5. Capital Investment maintenance and asset management plan

The Fund is required to develop a capital investment and asset management plan. During the period under review, the Fund developed the capital investment and demand plans. The plans will, however, only be implemented in the next financial year.

The upgrade of the Bisho building was completed on 24 March 2014. This involved the creation of offices and replacement of tiles.

There are currently no infrastructure projects in progress. There are also no plans to close down or down-grade any current facilities. However, the Fund plans to lease the current facilities to the Department of Public Works and occupy new buildings in the nexr five years.

Minor operating maintenance were made to the current infrastructure.

There were no major disposals embarked upon during the year under review. Public Private Partnership assets have been taken over from Department of Labour.

Some of the measures taken to ensure that the Fund’s asset register remained up-to-date during the period under review was the performance of monthly reconciliations.

Currently there is no backlog to be addressed during the period under review.

Annual Report of the Compensation Fund 2014 83

5. RISK MANAGEMENT

5.1. Introduction

The Compensation Fund business environment is subject to various inherent risks influenced by both internal and external factors. Managing those risks is an integral part of management’s responsibilities to ensure that all injured and diseased employees in the workplace are provided with social security in a timely manner.

5.2. Governance

The Minister of the Department of Labour is ultimately responsible for the risk management process and system within the Compensation Fund and has appointed the Risk Management Committee (RMC) to assist in discharging these roles and responsibilities. The RMC is mandated to provide strategic direction on how risks should be managed throughout the Fund and advise the Minister, Director-General (DG) and Commissioner accordingly. The Committee is supported by the Directorate: Risk Management (D: RM) in fulfilling its mandate.

5.3. Risk Management Committee

The RMC was appointed in December 2013 and has since convened two meetings during the 2013/14 financial year. The composition of the committee is exhibited in the table below.

Ms Kefilwe Tselane 2 2 Acting Chief Director: Operations

Mr Siphiwe Zwane 2 2 Acting Director: Internal Audit

5.3.1. Roles and responsibilities

The RMC has adopted formal Terms of Reference, outlining its roles and responsibilities. The Committee is responsible for reviewing the risk management policy and strategy, the Fund’s risk appetite as well as the fraud prevention plan. The Committee ensures that a risk management methodology is implemented and that risk assessments are performed on a continuous basis to enhance the Fund’s systems and internal control environment. It is the responsibility of the committee to also evaluate the effectiveness and implementation of the fraud prevention plan. The Minister, DG and Commissioner are advised by the Committee on significant issues affecting the Fund, the state of enterprise risk management accompanied by recommendations on how these issues can be addressed.

Annual Report of the Compensation Fund 201484

5.3.2. Management

Management is accountable to the DG and the Minister for designing, implementing and monitoring the risk management process and integrating it into the Fund’s daily operations.

5.3.3. Management of risks

The Fund has established the ERM unit and has adopted the enterprise-wide risk management approach. The ERM unit is the custodian of the Risk Management Policy, Strategy and Plan, and coordinates the risk management activities throughout the Fund. The Risk Management Policy outlines the Fund’s risk management philosophy and is subject to annual review, with modifications submitted to the RMC for consideration and recommendation to the Compensation Commissioner for approval.

Minimal progress was realised in the management of risks of the Compensation Fund and this can be attributed to insufficient monitoring of risks and the appointment of the RMC late in the year. This has been addressed by the appointment of a new RMC and Director: Risk Management, including the inclusion of risk management responsibilities in senior management’s performance agreements.

5.3.4. Risk management process

Strategic and operational risk assessments were conducted during the year. The risk management process was followed in conducting risk assessments, which entails risk identification, risk analysis and identification of control activities.

5.3.5. Effectiveness of risk management

The Internal Audit Directorate via the Audit Committee is responsible for providing the DG and the Minister with an independent and objective assurance on the effectiveness of risk management process and system. In the current year ERM unit was not audited for effectiveness and is planned for review in the next financial year. Based on the challenges faced by the unit, it is our view that risk management was not effective in the current year.

5.4. Fraud and Corruption Unit

The Fraud and Corruption Unit assists the Fund by investigating potential fraud and possible criminal activities. The Fund has a fraud prevention plan which has been approved by the Commissioner. All suspected fraud or criminal activity is reported to the Fraud and Corruption Unit via an anonymous fraud hotline, walk in or e-mails. The unit investigates the allegations and provides a conclusive report with recommendations for business to act.

6. INTERNAL CONTROL UNIT

Currently, the Fund does not have an established Internal Control Unit. Measures were put in place with effect from October 2013 to establish the Internal Control Unit within the office of the Chief Financial Officer in line with National Treasury. This measure was initiated by the newly appointed Chief Financial Officer as part of improving corporate governance within the Fund.

Consultations were held with internal and external stakeholders, in particular the National Treasury. It is expected that this function will commence fully with operations on 1 April 2015. Currently, the Fund has outsourced the function.

7. INTERNAL AUDIT UNIT AND AUDIT COMMITTEE

7.1. Internal Audit objectives and key activities

Internal Audit is established In terms of Section 51 (1)(ii) of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA), read with Treasury Regulations 27.1 and 27.2, the Accounting Authority must ensure that the entity has and maintains a system of Internal Audit under the control and direction of an Audit Committee, complying with and operating in accordance with the regulations and instructions prescribed in terms of Sections 76 and 77 of the PFMA.

The Institute of Internal Auditors defined internal audit as, “the Independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve an organisation’s operations. It helps organisations accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of governance, risk management and control processes”.

The primary objective of the Internal Audit function is to evaluate the adequacy and effectiveness of internal controls, test the compliance with the applicable laws, regulations, policies and procedures within the Fund processes.

“Adequacy” is defined as determining whether sufficient, efficient and economical controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance that objectives will be achieved.

“Effectiveness” is defined as determining whether the system of internal control is functioning as intended.

Internal control is understood to mean the processes, actions and procedures aimed at achieving reasonable assurance about the achievement of the following objectives:

7.2. Summary of audit work done

The internal audit function therefore evaluates and contributes to the improvement of governance, risk management and control processes of the Fund. The typical inputs/responsibilities of the Internal Audit function include the main three key pillars:

i. GovernanceThe Internal Audit activity assessed and made appropriate recommendations for improving the governance process in its accomplishment of the following objectives:

and management

ii. Risk ManagementThe Internal Audit function assists the Fund in identifying, evaluating and assessing significant organisational risks and provides assurance as to the effectiveness of related internal controls.

Furthermore, Internal Audit evaluates the risk management process of the Fund for efficiency and effectiveness.

8. COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS

In compliance with laws and regulations, the Fund adheres to the principles of the King III report. Structures and processes were established with appropriate checks and balances to empower directors to perform their legal responsibilities and oversight of compliance with legislation, for example Audit Committee and Risk Committee.

8.1. Fraud and Corruption

The Fraud and Corruption Unit assists the Fund by investigating potential fraud and possible criminal activities.

Fraud Prevention Plan

As required by Section 29.1.1 (e) of the Treasury Regulations prescribed under the Public Finance Management Act, 1999, the Fund has a Fraud and Corruption Prevention Plan to effectively manage the fraud risk to which the Fund is exposed. The Fraud and Corruption Prevention Plan has been approved by the Compensation Commissioner. The Plan comprises of the following components:

During the 2013/14 financial year there was minimal implementation of the Fraud and Corruption Prevention Plan. The anti-fraud and corruption unit conducted four fraud awareness sessions, and the unit only managed to finalise 49% of cases reported.

Mechanisms of reporting fraud and corruption

The Fund has a whistle-blowing policy which encourages employees to disclose any acts of misconduct without fear of any discriminations or reprisals. Any official of the Fund or stakeholder, supplier or service provider who has a reasonable belief that fraud, corruption or unethical behaviour is taking place may report such via the channels provided.

Reporting the cases

Any suspected fraud or corrupt activity is reported to the fraud and corruption unit via an anonymous fraud hotline, walk-in or emails. The unit investigates the allegations and provides a conclusive report with recommendations for business to act.

Effectiveness of internal controls

The system of internal controls is designed to provide cost-effective assurance that assets are safeguarded and that liabilities and working capital are efficiently managed. The system of internal control applied by the Compensation Fund over financial and risk management is ineffective, inefficient and not transparent.

In accordance with the PFMA and the King III Report on Corporate Governance requirements, Internal Audit is required to provide the Audit Committee and management with assurance that the internal controls, governance and risk management processes of the Compensation Fund are appropriate and effective.

This is achieved by means of the risk management, as well as the identification of corrective actions and suggested enhancements to the internal controls and processes. The Risk Management Unit is currently in the process of being capacitated to ensure that risk management is being implemented at both a strategic and operational level within the organisation.

Internal Audit performed periodic independent evaluations of the adequacy and effectiveness of internal controls, financial reporting, performance information and the integrity of information systems and records.

Annual Report of the Compensation Fund 201492

From the various reports of the internal auditors, the audit report on the Annual Financial Statements and the management letter of the Auditor-General, it was noted that there has been no improvement since the previous financial year. This could be demonstrated by the late submission of the draft Annual Financial Statements to the Audit Committee as well as the inability to prepare reliable financial statements during the course of the financial year.

The Committee remains concerned about the lack of progress on the implementation of management actions to address audit findings, irregularities and reputational risk associated with the Fund.

Significant matters, which have not been adequately resolved, include the following:

Accordingly, we can report that the general system of internal control for the period under review was unfortunately ineffective and inefficient.

However, subsequent to financial year-end, a firm of chartered accountants have been appointed to assist the organisation in taking remedial action to address the root causes of repetitive audit findings and improve the internal control environment. Under the leadership and guidance of the audit committee, management is expected to implement strategies, resolutions and action plans to address the disclaimed audit opinion.

Monthly/Quarterly management report

The Audit Committee is dissatisfied with the content and quality of monthly reports prepared and issued by the Compensation Fund during the year under review.

The Audit Committee will monitor the process and procedures designed and implemented to ensure there is a consistency and improvement in the quality of performance information for the forthcoming financial year and achievement of planned targets.

Annual Report of the Compensation Fund 201496

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. The value of human capital in the public entity

Successful organisations world-wide recognise that human resource is a valuable asset to the attainment of strategic objectives. In this context, it has also been established that human resource becomes even more critical in an environment where technology is often used as a means of harnessing growth and development to meet demands that are ever changing. There has also been more emphasis on the employment of persons who have the competence to effectively utilise technology to satisfy the needs of citizenry and clients. In its quest to improve efficiencies, the Compensation Fund took a decision to decentralise its functions to the lowest level possible to ensure that timely and qualitative services are provided.

This approach has highlighted the need to ensure that employees at the coal face are knowledgeable about the business of the Fund and the importance of technology to deliver services. To this end, the Fund has created entry level posts which recognise that services will be provided in an integrated manner and compensated in accordance with the skills set required.

1.2. Overview of HR matters of the public entity

During the year under review, the Compensation Fund implemented a decentralised organisational structure which placed an emphasis on the need to deliver quality services to the lowest level possible. As part of this new organisational structure, a total of 1,334 posts were created with 690 of these at the national level and the remaining 644 distributed proportionally among provinces. In order to ensure that the organisational structure is implemented in such a manner that reflects inclusivity, a placement framework and procedure for employees of the Department of Labour (salary levels 1 – 12) was developed as a guide. This framework required that recognised trade unions in the Department of Labour including the Compensation Fund be afforded an opportunity to participate in the restructuring process by representing the interest of their members.

This was done through the established Placement Panel. For example, the panel concerned itself with the movement of employees from the old to the new organisational structure. In the case of the Fund the process was compounded by the fact that entry level posts which would provide medical and compensation services in an integrated manner were created at salary level 6. It is imperative to note that the majority of employees in the Directorates: Medical Services and Compensation Benefits were employed on salary level 5. This matter, coupled with the fact that the entry level posts in provinces in these two areas was salary level 6, created a challenge.

Furthermore, the management of the Fund realised that if open competition for posts was to be followed, a number of employees may be without posts. As a consequence, a proposal was made to organised labour through the established Placement Panel that choice forms should be issued to all the employees in the affected directorates, including those on SR5, to identify the province where they would like to permanently relocate to. However, upon the analysis of the choices made by employees it was found that with respect to the Gauteng province there were more employees than the number of posts available on SR6 in particular. For example, out of 118 posts on salary level 6, choices made were in excess of 247.

1.3. Set HR priorities for the year under review and the impact of these priorities

In the year under review, the Compensation Fund had prioritised the filling of critical posts in the middle and senior management levels. This was done so that the Compensation Fund would be adequately prepared to respond to demands in its internal and external environments. In addition, importance was also placed on the need to implement the new organisational structure and fast track decentralisation of functions and staff to the lowest level possible in line with the new operating model.

Annual Report of the Compensation Fund 2014 97

1.4. Workforce planning framework and key strategies to attract and recruit a skilled and capable workforce

The new organisational structure has created a number of posts at middle and senior management levels. These posts were created with a view to assisting the Compensation Fund to employ persons who were competent and highly skilled, thus contributing to the delivery of its legislative and policy mandates. Some of the strategies followed to source the right skill mix, attributes and knowledge had been the use of print media and public service internal communication. In addition, recruitment agencies were utilised as a means to source candidates with scarce or critical skills in instances where the normal recruitment channels could not yield the desired results.

1.5. Employee performance management framework

The provisions of the policy on performance management system for employees on salary levels 1 – 12 and Chapter 4 of the Senior Management Service Handbook were utilised as instruments to manage performance. During the year under review, a number of challenges were experienced with aspects such as the finalisation of performance assessments for some employees by their supervisors and the timeous conclusion of performance agreements in some cases. As a result of these challenges, the Fund has not been able to comply with the policy directives to the fullest extent.

1.6. Employee wellness programmes

The Employee Health and Wellness Programme play a critical role in the enhancement of employee wellbeing. This programme required organisations to provide the necessary support and referrals as part of the promotion of a conducive and caring workplace. During the year under review, the Compensation Fund participated in a workshop which reviewed the health and wellness management policies and procedures. In addition, a number of health screening sessions were hosted with the Government Employees Medical Scheme (GEMS) where various tests were conducted to assist staff members to monitor their health status on a regular basis so that early and timely intervention, where necessary, could be initiated.

Furthermore, counselling sessions were arranged for staff members who were undergoing decentralisation to various provinces as part of the implementation of the new organisational structure. The reports from this exercise have proved to be useful to both the employees and management in that future restructuring endeavours would be implemented in such a manner that sensitivities surrounding such a process would be taken into consideration.

1.7. Policy development

During the year under review, the Compensation Fund had participated in the review of a number of human resource management policies, such as the resettlement benefits, the death of an employee and health and wellness management.

1.7.1. Highlight achievements

The Compensation Fund successfully implemented the new organisational structure which resulted in the delivery of services being devolved to the lowest level possible. Following the approval of the piloting of the Rand Mutual Assurance (RMA) system for the management and payment of medical and compensation claims, a massive training programme of users and super-users was undertaken. This training intervention ensured that staff members were capacitated and adequately prepared for the pilot and possibly the eventual roll-out of the system.

Annual Report of the Compensation Fund 201498

In addition, almost 100% of training interventions identified in the Workplace Skills Plan (WSP) was achieved thus resulting in most employees realising their personal development plans. Furthermore, training interventions geared towards the realisation of some units’ performance targets were successfully arranged and undertaken. As part of providing graduates with the work experience and competence necessary for them to find long term and sustainable employment, 90 interns were appointed for a period of one year.

1.7.2. Challenges faced by the public entity

Critical challenges faced by the Fund in the area of human resource management, among others, continued to be the lack of urgency in the filling of critical management posts in areas such as financial management, operations and support services. There have also been capacity constraints as a result of the fact that there has been dearth of skills in the core business as well as support. This situation has thus meant that the Fund was not capacitated with the required levels of competence to respond to the needs of its clients and customers. In areas where there was some level of optimal capacity, employees were not effectively utilised to contribute to sustained and improved delivery. For example, whilst many industries providing medical and compensation services had continued to rely on technological innovations to support operations, the Fund lagged behind as a result of reliance on the manual processing of claims.

1.7.3. Future HR plans/goals

In the next financial year, the Fund will develop guidelines containing norms and standards which would regulate the filling of vacancies so that human resource management functionaries and responsible line managers are aware of their responsibilities in this area. Furthermore, emphasis will be placed on the need to support effective utilisation and management of human resources as a critical and valuable asset in the delivery of services. In the near future, the Fund will conduct an assessment on how to use talent management and succession planning to support employee growth, contentment and productivity. In short, the Fund will look at ways and means to demonstrate that it values its employees as a critical asset.

2. HUMAN RESOURCE OVERSIGHT STATISTICS

The following tables provide key information on the management of human resources. The tables also provide the costs associated with managing and maintaining such human resources. This is done by ensuring that the amounts in this section are linked to the figures disclosed in the Annual Financial Statements. In cases where there are variances, reasons for these differences will be given.

The personnel expenditure accounted for R343,901,000 which represents 10% of the total expenditure of R3,591,182,000 for the Fund. This could be attributed to the fact that a number of high level posts were vacant during the year under review.

The bulk of the employees at the Fund were at lower salary levels as reflected by a total of 337 employees classified as semi-skilled. In this regard, the percentage of personnel expenditure in this category accounted for 34% of personnel expenditure. In order to improve the performance of the Fund there is a need to re-configure this category in future to ensure that there are more skilled employees.

* Please note that the number of employees during the reporting period was 517. Therefore, the number of 651 employees trained should be understood in the context of the number of training interventions undertaken. Some employees have attended training more than once hence the figure of 651.

During the year under review, the Fund has spent R2,870,000 which represent 0.8% of the personnel costs. It should be noted that the minimum expenditure on training and development should be 1% of personnel expenditure. Given the above, it is clear that the Fund had underspent on training budget by 0.2%. However, it must also be noted that some of the training interventions were conducted in-house resulting in 0.2% under-expenditure on training and development costs.

Annual Report of the Compensation Fund 2014 101

The analysis of the table above shows that that the vacancy rate for the Fund stood at 24% which is considered very high. It must be noted that the new organisational structure implemented on 1 April 2013, created a number of new posts in all the areas of the organisation. The area mostly affected by the high vacancy rate was the Chief Directorate: Financial Management with 12.6%. This is the area which has benefitted the most from the implementation of the new organisational structure.

The new organisational structure resulted in 150 additional posts being created. Given this high number of posts, the Fund decided to prioritise the filling of critical vacant posts of Assistant Directors and higher. The posts in the middle and senior management levels were only advertised in July 2013. However, due to capacity constraints in the affected components, interviews in most cases could not be finalised on time. In the main, it has taken the Fund on average to fill the posts in excess of the six months required for this purpose.

As outlined in table above some of the reasons for the turnover have been as a result of death (6), expiry of contract (51) and resignations (7). The overall assessment is that the Compensation Fund has not experienced a turnover rate which could be considered as alarming to require attention during the period under review.

Finally, the implementation of the new organisational structure has resulted in a number of posts being created. The contributing factor to the major variances between the target and current employment equity status was as result of the fact that during the year under review, the Compensation Fund experienced a 24% vacancy rate. Therefore, in filling these posts in the new year an emphasis will be placed on the need to meet the employment equity targets.

REPORT OF THE AUDITOR-GENERAL TO PARLIAMENT ON THE COMPENSATION FUND

Report on the financial statements

Introduction1. I was engaged to audit the financial statements of the Compensation Fund set out on pages 118 to 167, which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 March 2014, the statements of financial performance, statement of changes in net assets, cash flows and the statement of comparison of budget information with actual information for the year then ended, as well as the notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Accounting Authority responsibility for the financial statements2. The accounting authority is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with South African Standards of Generally Recognised Accounting Practice (SA Standard of GRAP) and the requirements of the Public Finance Management Act of South Africa, 1999 (Act No. 1 of 1999) (PFMA) and Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act (Act No.130 of 1993) (COIDA), and for such internal control as the accounting authority determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor-General’s responsibility3. My responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on conducting the audit in accordance with the Public Audit Act of South Africa, 2004 (Act No. 25 of 2004) (PAA), the general notice issued in terms thereof and International Standards on Auditing. Because of the matters described in the basis for disclaimer of opinion paragraphs, however, I was unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion.

Basis for disclaimer of opinion

Revenue and receivables from non-exchange transactions4. I was unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence for Revenue from non-exchange transactions and Receivables from non-exchange transactions as the entity did not maintain proper accounting records, journals and adequate controls over assessment revenue and debtors. Furthermore, the entity does not have processes in place to ensure that all employers are registered with the Fund and assessed in terms of COIDA. This had result in revenue being incorrectly recorded and payments received from debtors were not post into the correct period for the current and prior years. Therefore, the interest on outstanding debtors was not charged and penalties were incorrectly charged based on inaccurate assessment revenue and debtors.

In addition to the above, the entity did not recognise revenue received as service in kind in accordance with Standard of Generally Recognised Accounting Practice (GRAP) 23 Revenue from non-exchange transactions in the current year and prior year. The entity’s records did not permit the application of adequate alternative auditing procedures regarding revenue and receivables from non-exchange transactions. Consequently, I was unable to determine whether any adjustment was necessary relating to Revenue from non-exchange transactions of R8.186 billion (2013: R7.152 billion) and Receivables from non-exchange transactions of R1.446 billion (2013: R2.798 billion).

Allowance for impairment5. The entity did not provide appropriate audit evidence for the amount disclosed in the statement of financial performance for impairment allowance and supporting evidence for the assessment of impairment in accordance with GRAP 104 Financial Instruments. Consequently, I could not determine by any alternative means that whether any adjustment to the allowance for impairment stated at R2.266 billion (2013: R1.148 billion) in the financial statements was necessary.

Annual Report of the Compensation Fund 2014 107

Revenue and receivable from exchange transactions6. The entity did not correctly classify revenue and receivables from non-exchange transactions in accordance with GRAP 23 Revenue from non-exchange transactions. Receivables from non-exchange transactions were incorrectly classified as Receivable from exchange transactions. Consequently, Receivables from non-exchange transactions were understated by R511.870 million (2013: R517.860 million) and receivables from exchange transactions were overstated by R511.870 million (2013: R517.860), respectively.

Furthermore, I was unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence as management did not recognise all revenue from exchange transactions in accordance with GRAP 9 Revenue from exchange transactions for the current year and prior year. The entity records did not permit the application of adequate alternative auditing procedures regarding revenue from exchange transactions. Consequently, I was unable to determine whether any adjustments were required to revenue from exchange transactions stated at R10.910 million (2013: R19.141 million) and receivables from exchange transactions stated at R 527.756 million (2013: R524.351 million).

Benefits paid 7. The entity did not have adequate internal controls to maintain records of benefits paid. Therefore, I was unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to substantiate whether management has correctly accounted for all the claims for the current and prior year. Furthermore material differences were identified between the record of benefits paid and the amount disclosed. The entity records did not permit the application of adequate alternative audit procedures regarding benefits paid. As a consequence, I was unable to determine whether any adjustment is required to benefits paid stated at R2.703 billion (2013: R1.979 billion).

Provision for outstanding claims and decrease in provision for outstanding claims8. The entity did not review and assess the provision for outstanding claims at reporting date and adjust to reflect the best estimate in accordance with GRAP 19 Provisions. As a consequence, I was unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to substantiate the amounts disclosed as provision for outstanding claims and change in provision for outstanding claims. I could not confirm, by any alternative means, whether any adjustment to the provision for outstanding claims stated at R6.435 billion (2013: R6.435 billion) and decrease in provision for outstanding claims at R nil (2013: R1.593 billion) in the financial statements was necessary.

Capitalised value of pensions and pension actuarial adjustments9. The entity did not review and assess the capitalised value of pensions at reporting date and adjust to reflect the best estimate in accordance with GRAP 19 Provision. As a consequence, I was unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to substantiate the amount disclosed as capitalised value of pensions and pension actuarial adjustments. The entity’s records did not permit the application of adequate alternative auditing procedures. I was therefore unable to determine whether any adjustment was required to capitalised value of pensions stated at R9.716 billion and pension actuarial adjustments stated at R2.416 billion in the financial statements was necessary.

Payables from exchange transactions 10. The entity did not have adequate internal controls to maintain records of benefits paid. Therefore, I was unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to substantiate whether management has correctly accounted for all the payables from exchange transactions for the current and prior year. The entity records did not permit the application of adequate alternative audit procedures regarding payables from exchange transactions. As a consequence, I was unable to determine whether any adjustment is required to payables from exchange transactions stated at R888.872 million (2013: R958.894 million).

Prior period errors11. The entity did not provide adequate records in respect of prior period errors reported. Therefore, I was unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to substantiate the amount disclosed as prior period errors. I could not confirm, by any alternative means, whether any the adjustment to the prior period errors stated at R1.019 billion in the financial statements was necessary.

Cash and cash equivalents 12. The entity did not have adequate internal controls to maintain records for reconciling items of cash and cash equivalent. Therefore, I was unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence for all the un-reconciled items for cash and cash equivalents. The entity’s records did not permit the application of adequate alternative audit procedures regarding cash and cash equivalents. As a consequence I was unable to determine whether any adjustment to cash and cash equivalents stated at R119.720 million (2013: R1.092 billion) was necessary.

Cash flow statement13. The entity did not provide sufficient appropriate audit evidence to substantiate the calculation for presentation of the cash flow statement. Furthermore inaccurate accounting records were used when preparing the cash flow statement. As a consequence, I could not confirm, by any alternative means, whether any adjustment was required to cash flow statement for the year ended.

Statement of comparison of budget and actual amounts14. The entity did not accurately disclose the approved budget amount and present explanation of the material differences between actual amounts and the budget in the financial statements in accordance with GRAP 24 Presentation of Budget Information in Financial Statements. I could not confirm, by any alternative means, whether any adjustment was required to statement of comparison of budget and actual amounts.

Administration expenses15. The entity did not correctly account for expenses in accordance with GRAP 1 Presentation of financial statements for the current and prior year. Consequently, administration expenses is overstated by R134.394 million (2013: R111.834 million) In addition, management did not maintain adequate internal controls and maintain accounting records in respect of administration expenses. As a consequence, I was unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding administration expenses. The entity’s records did not permit the application of adequate alternative audit procedures regarding administration expenses. I was therefore unable to determine whether any adjustment was required to administration expenses stated at R542.307 million.

Investment revenue16. The entity did not accurately account and disclose the investment revenue in note to the financial statements. This had result in investment revenue in the disclosure note to the financial statements understated by R136.340 million. Furthermore material differences were identified between the investment confirmation and the amount disclosed.

Contingencies17. The entity did not maintain adequate internal controls to maintain accounting records in respect of contingencies. As a consequence, I was unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence for the amount disclosed as contingencies material differences were also identified between the accounting records provided and amount disclosed. The entity’s records did not permit the application of adequate alternative audit procedures regarding contingencies. I was therefore unable to determine whether any adjustment was required to contingencies stated at R288 million.

Commitments18. The entity did not maintain adequate internal controls to maintain accounting records in respect of commitments. As a consequence, I was unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding commitments approved and contracted. The entity’s records did not permit the application of adequate alternative audit procedures regarding commitments. Therefore, I was unable to determine whether any adjustments were required to the commitments stated at R4.737 million (2013: R21.517 million).

Irregular expenditure 19. The entity did not maintain adequate controls to maintain accounting records in respect of irregular expenditure. As a consequence, I was unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence relating to the particulars of irregular expenditure in the notes to the financial statements as per section 55(2)(b)(i) of the PFMA for the current and prior year. The entity records did not permit the application of adequate alternative audit procedures regarding irregular expenditure.

Related party transactions20. The entity did not maintain adequate controls to maintain accounting records in respect of related party transactions. As a consequence, I was unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding related party disclosures. Furthermore management did not identify and disclose nature of the related party relationships, transactions and outstanding balances in accordance with GRAP 20, related party disclosures. The entity’s records did not permit the application of adequate alternative audit procedures regarding related party transactions. Therefore, I was unable to determine whether any adjustments were required to the related party disclosures.

Aggregation of immaterial uncorrected misstatements21. The financial statements as a whole are materially misstated due to the cumulative effect of numerous individually immaterial uncorrected misstatements in amongst others, the following elements making up the statement of financial position, the statement of financial performance and the notes to the financial statements:

In addition, the entity did not provide assessment of residual values, remaining useful life of assets and impairment of assets in accordance with GRAP 17 Property Plant Equipment. Furthermore the entity did not capitalise lease assets in accordance with GRAP 13 Leases. As a consequence, I was unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to substantiate amount disclosed as property plant and equipment and to determine whether any further adjustments to property plan and equipment and leases was necessary.

Disclaimer of opinion22. Because of the significance of the matters described in the basis for disclaimer of opinion paragraphs, I have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion. Accordingly, I do not express an opinion on the financial statements.

Emphasis of matters23. I draw attention to the matters below. My opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.

Material inconsistency in the accounting authority report29. Paragraph 1.1, 1.2 and 2 of the accounting authority’s report is inconsistent with the amount disclosed in the financial statements for assessment revenue, investment revenue, investment assets and benefit claims.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

30. In accordance with the PAA and the general notice issued in terms thereof, I report the following findings on the reported performance information against predetermined objectives for selected programmes presented in the annual performance report, non-compliance with legislation as well as internal control. The objective of my tests was to identify reportable findings as described under each subheading but not to gather evidence to express assurance on these matters. Accordingly, I do not express an opinion or conclusion on these matters.

Predetermined objectives31. I performed procedures to obtain evidence about the usefulness and reliability of the information in the annual performance report for the following selected programmes presented in the annual performance report of the public entity for the year ended 31 March 2014:

32. I evaluated the reported performance information against the overall criteria of usefulness and reliability.

33. I evaluated the usefulness of the reported performance information to determine whether it was presented in accordance with the National Treasury’s annual reporting principles and whether the reported performance was consistent with the planned programmes. I further performed tests to determine whether indicators and targets were well defined, verifiable, specific, measurable, time bound and relevant, as required by the National Treasury’s Framework for managing programme performance information (FMPPI).

Annual Report of the Compensation Fund 2014 111

34. I assessed the reliability of the reported performance information to determine whether it was valid, accurate and complete.

35. The material findings in respect of the selected programmes development priorities or objectives are as follows:

Programme 1: Compensation Directorate

Usefulness of reported performance information36. The National Treasury Framework for managing programme performance information (FMPPI) requires that:

total of 67% of the targets relevant to the programme were not specific in clearly identifying the nature and the required level of performance.

targets.

consistently and is easy to understand and use. A total of 67% of the indicators relevant to the programme were not well defined

37. Management did not take corrective action to address previously reported root causes to correct the technical indicator description and management did not adhere to the requirement of the FMPPI.

Reliability of reported performance information38. The FMPPI requires auditees to have appropriate systems to collect, collate, verify and store performance information to ensure valid, accurate and complete reporting of actual achievements against planned objectives, indicators and targets. We were unable to obtain the information and explanations we considered necessary to satisfy ourselves as to the reliability of the reported performance information. This was due to limitations placed on the scope of our work due to the auditee’s records not permitting the application of alternative audit procedures.

Programme 2: Medical Directorate

Usefulness of reported performance information39. The National Treasury Framework for managing programme performance information (FMPPI) requires that:

total of 33% of the targets relevant to the programme were not specific in clearly identifying the nature and the required level of performance.

targets.

consistently and is easy to understand and use. A total of 33% of the indicators relevant to the programme were not well defined.

40. Management did not take corrective action to address previously reported root causes to correct the technical indicator description and management did not adhere to the requirement of the FMPPI.

Reliability of reported performance information 41. The FMPPI requires auditees to have appropriate systems to collect, collate, verify and store performance information to ensure valid, accurate and complete reporting of actual achievements against planned objectives, indicators and targets. We were unable to obtain the information and explanations we considered necessary to satisfy ourselves/myself as to the reliability of the reported performance information. This was due to limitations placed on the scope of our work due to the auditee’s records not permitting the application of alternative audit procedures.

Programme 3: Human Resource Management Directorate

Usefulness of reported performance information42. The National Treasury Framework for managing programme performance information (FMPPI) requires that:

total of 60% of the targets relevant to the programme were not specific in clearly identifying the nature and the required level of performance.

targets.

consistently and is easy to understand and use. A total of 20% of the indicators relevant to the programme were not well defined

programme were not time bound.

43. Management did not take corrective action to address previously reported root causes to correct the technical indicator description and management did not adhere to the requirement of the FMPPI.

Reliability of reported performance information44. The FMPPI requires auditees to have appropriate systems to collect, collate, verify and store performance information to ensure valid, accurate and complete reporting of actual achievements against planned objectives, indicators and targets. Overall, 25% of the targets were not reliable because we were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence for 25% of the targets. In addition, 25% of the targets were not accurate and complete when compared to the source information or evidence provided. This was due to the fact that management excluded information from Provinces when reporting on the targets.

Additional matters45. We draw attention to the following matters

Achievement of planned targets 46. Refer to the annual performance report on pages 33 to 72 for information on the achievement of planned targets for the year. This information should be considered in the context of the findings on usefulness and reliability of the reported performance information in paragraphs 36 to 60 of this report.

Adjustment of material misstatements 47. I identified material misstatements in the annual performance report submitted for auditing on the reported performance information of programme 1: Compensation Directorate. As management subsequently corrected only some of the misstatements, I raised material findings on the usefulness and reliability of the reported performance information.

Annual Report of the Compensation Fund 2014 113

Compliance with laws and regulations48. I performed procedures to obtain evidence that the entity has complied with applicable legislation regarding financial matters, financial management and other related matters. My findings on material non-compliance with specific matters in key legislation as set out in the general notice issued in terms of the PAA are as follows:

Strategic planning and performance management 49. Effective and appropriate risk assessment was not conducted regularly so as to identify emerging risks of the public entity as required by Treasury Regulation 27.2.1.

Financial statements, performance and annual reports 50. The financial statements submitted for auditing were not prepared in accordance with the prescribed financial reporting framework and supported by full and proper records as required by section 55(1) (a) and (b) of the Public Finance Management Act. Material misstatements identified by the auditors in the submitted financial statements were not adequately corrected and the supporting records could not be provided subsequently, which resulted in the financial statements receiving a disclaimer audit opinion.

51. The accounting authority did not submit quarterly reports on actual and projected revenue and expenditure to the accounting officer of the department of Labour, as required by Treasury Regulation 26.1.1

Procurement and contract management52. Effective and efficient supply chain management system for acquisition of goods and services were not maintained as required by the Treasury Regulation 16A3.1.

53. Goods and services with a transaction value below R500 000 were procured without obtaining the required price quotations, as required by Treasury Regulation 16A6.1.

54. Goods and services of a transaction value above R500 000 were procured without inviting competitive bids, as required by Treasury Regulations 16A6.1. Deviations were approved by the accounting officer even though it was not impractical to invite competitive bids, in contravention of Treasury regulation 16A6.4.

55. Invitations for competitive bidding were not always advertised in at least the government tender bulletin, as required by Treasury Regulations 16A6.3(c).

56. Sufficient appropriate audit evidence could not be obtained that bid adjudication was done by committees which were composed in accordance with the policies of the entity, as required by Treasury Regulations 16A6.2(a), (b) and (c).

57. Contracts were awarded to bidders who did not submit a declaration of past supply chain practices such as fraud, abuse of SCM system and non-performance, which is prescribed in order to comply with Treasury regulation 16A9.2.

58. Contracts and quotations were awarded to suppliers whose tax matters had not been declared by the South African Revenue Services to be in order as required by Treasury Regulations 16A9.1(d) and the Preferential Procurement Regulations.

59. Sufficient appropriate audit evidence could not be obtained that contracts and quotations were awarded to bidders based on points given for criteria that were stipulated in the original invitation for bidding and quotations, as required by SCM regulation Treasury Regulations 16A6.3(a) and Preferential Procurement Regulations.

60. Sufficient appropriate audit evidence could not be obtained that the preference point system was applied in all procurement of goods and services above R30 000 as required by section 2(a) of the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act and Treasury Regulations 16A6.3(b).

Expenditure management61. The accounting authority did not take effective steps to prevent irregular expenditure, as required by section 51(1)(b)(ii) of the Public Finance Management Act.

Revenue management62. Effective and appropriate steps were not taken to collect all money due, as required by section 51(1)(b)(i) of the Public Finance Management Act and Treasury Regulations 31.1.2(a) and 31.1.2(e).

63. Not all employers were correctly assessed or provisionally assessed by the director-general according to a tariff of assessment calculated on the basis of such percentage of the annual earnings of his or her employees as the director-general as required by section 83(1) of the COIDA.

64. Penalties for late submission of return of earnings and penalties for late payment of assessment were not correctly charged as required by sections 83 (6) (b) and 87(1) of COIDA for some of the employers.

65. Interest was not charged on all arrears accounts as required by section 86(2) of COIDA.

Claims and payables management66. The accounting authority did not maintain an effective control environment to accept, adjudicate, and make payments to the injuries as required by section 22 and 29 of COIDA.

Consequence management68. Effective and appropriate disciplinary steps were not taken against officials who incurred and permitted irregular expenditure, as required by section 51(1)(e)(iii) of the Public Finance Management Act. This is because instances of Irregular expenditure were not investigated

70. Disciplinary hearings were not held for financial misconduct committed by officials, as required by Treasury Regulation 33.1.1.

71. Disciplinary hearings were not held for confirmed cases of financial misconduct committed by the accounting authority, as required by Treasury Regulation 33.1.3.

Internal control

Leadership72. The commissioner did not hold management accountable for poor service delivery and poor audit outcomes. This resulted in no improvement in key controls over processing of claims, debt collection, non-compliance with legislation and the quality of the financial statement has further regressed.

Annual Report of the Compensation Fund 2014 115

73. Management did not exercise oversight responsibility to implement and monitor the new turnaround strategy and its action plan to address previously reported material misstatement as well as internal control deficiencies. This resulted in the recurrence of numerous findings that were reported in the prior years.

74. The entity lack finance leadership and adequate sound management, financial and accounting skills and competencies. Management has not implemented a process to manage poor performance in the fund, resulting in extensive use of external service providers to perform functions of some of the staff members in finance, claims processing and debt collection. In addition management has not implemented a process to manage poor performance and take necessary intervention against employees who fail to meet the expected level of performance and no disciplinary action was taken against employees who committed misconduct.

Financial and performance management75. The information system implemented did not support the entity operation and financial function, in addition manual procedures were not effective to ensure that credible and reliable information is available. As a result, management did not prevent, detect and disclose all the material misstatements to the financial statements, performance information and non-compliance with laws and regulations.

Governance76. The fund risk management assessment was not adequate to ensure that strategic, operational, financial and information technology risks and fraud prevention strategy are adequately identified, addressed and monitored.

77. The audit committee and internal audit department have great concern that there is lack of management ability to monitor the entity’s performance. They have engaged with external auditors and escalated the issues to the commissioner and executive authority with the expectation that management will implement strategies, resolutions and action plans to improve the control environment and performance. However no improvement has been noted.

Other reports

Investigations78. An investigation was conducted by an independent consulting firm on request of the audit committee. The investigation was initiated based on allegations of financial misconduct. The investigation was completed and it was recommended that the entity must institute disciplinary action against certain employees. Disciplinary hearing was not held and no action was taken.

Annual Report of the Compensation Fund 2014124

1. Significant accounting policies

The Compensation Fund (“Fund”) is a National Public Entity listed in Schedule 3A of the Public Finance Management Act (“PFMA”), Act No 1 of 1999 (as amended by Act 29 of 1999). The principle accounting policies applied in the preparation and presentation of these Annual Financial Statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

1.1. Basis of preparation

The Fund’s Annual Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with the Standards of Generally Recognised Accounting Practice (“GRAP”) including any interpretations, guidelines and directives issued by the Accounting Standards Board in accordance with Section 55 of the Public Finance Management.

These Annual Financial Statements have been prepared on an accrual basis of accounting and are in accordance with historical cost convention unless specified otherwise.

In terms of Notice 991 and 992 in Government Gazette 28095 of December 2005 and Notice 516 in Government Gazette 31021 of 9 May 2008, the Fund must comply with the requirements of GRAP. Directive 5 details the GRAP Reporting Framework comprising the effective standards of GRAP, interpretations of such standards (“GRAPs”) issued by the ASB, ASB guidelines, ASB directives, and standards and pronouncements of other stand setters, as identified by the ASB on an annual basis. The standards that are effective and relevant to the Fund are listed below:

Title StandardGRAP 1 Presentation of financial statementsGRAP 2 Cash flow statementsGRAP 3 Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors GRAP 4 The effects of changes in foreign exchange ratesGRAP 5 Borrowing costsGRAP 9 Revenue from exchange transactionsGRAP 12 InventoryGRAP 13 LeasesGRAP 14 Events after the reporting dateGRAP 16 Investment propertyGRAP 17 Property, plant and equipmentGRAP 18 Segment reportingGRAP 19 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assetsGRAP 20 Related partiesGRAP 21 Impairment of non-cash generating assetsGRAP 23 Revenue from non-exchange transactionsGRAP 24 Presentation of budget information in the financial statement GRAP 25 Employee benefitsGRAP 26 Impairment of cash-generating assets GRAP 31 Intangible assetsGRAP 104 Financial instrumentsIFRS 7 Financial instruments: disclosuresIAS 19 Employee benefitsIAS 32 Financial instruments: presentationIAS 39 Financial Instruments: recognition and measurementDirective 02 Transitional provisions for adoption of standards of GRAP by public entities, municipal entities and constitutional institutions.

Annual Report of the Compensation Fund 2014 125

Accounting policies for material transactions, events or conditions not covered by the GRAP reporting framework, as detailed above, have been developed in accordance with paragraphs 7, 11 and 12 of GRAP 3 and the hierarchy approved in Directive 5 issued by the ASB.

1.2. Presentation currency

The Annual Financial Statements are presented in South African Rand (“ZAR”), which is the functional currency of the Fund.

1.3. Standards and amendments to standards issued but not effective

The following standards and amendments to standards have been issued but are not effective.

STANDARD SUMMARY AND IMPACT EFFECTIVE DATE

GRAP 105 – Transfer of functions between entities under common control

This standard requires the establishment of accounting principles for the acquirer and transferor in a transfer of functions between entities under common control

No effective date has been determined by the Minister of Finance

GRAP 106 – Transfer of functions between entities not under common control

This standard requires the establishment of accounting principles for the acquirer in a transfer of functions between entities not under common control

No effective date has been determined by the Minister of Finance

GRAP 107 – Mergers This standard requires the establishment of accounting principles for the combined entity and combining entities in a merger

No effective date has been determined by the Minister of Finance

1.4. Rounding

Unless otherwise stated, all financial figures have been rounded to the nearest one thousand Rand (R ‘000).

1.5. Use of estimates and judgement

In preparing the Annual Financial Statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts represented in the Annual Financial Statements and related disclosures. Use of available information and the application of judgement is inherent in the formation of estimates. Actual results in the future could differ from these estimates which may be material to the Annual Financial Statements. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis, based on historical experience and other factors including expectations. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

Annual Report of the Compensation Fund 2014126

1.5.1. Accrual for assessments not raised

Where assessments have not been raised, the Fund makes an estimate by the assessments revenue due from employers. The estimate is based on the most recent assessment recognised in the previous four years impairment, blocked and inactive employees are not included in the estimate.

1.5.2. Accrual for accumulated leave and service bonus

The Fund opted to treat its provision for leave and service bonus (thirteenth cheque) as an accrual.

The cost of all short-term employee benefits is recognised during the period in which the employee renders related service. Employee entitlements are recognised when they accrue to employees. An accrual is recognised for the estimated liability as a result of services rendered by employees up to the reporting date. Accruals relating to employee benefits include annual leave, capped leave and a thirteenth cheque.

1.6. Recognition of revenue contributions

Assessments are recognised on the accrual basis of accounting, at fair value of the consideration received or receivable and consists of assessments issued to registered employers in terms of the Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act, (Act No 130 of 1993).

1.6.1. Revenue from non-exchange transactions

Revenue from non-exchange refers to transactions where the Fund received revenue from employers without directly giving an approximately equal value for exchange. Revenue from non-exchange transactions is generally recognised to the extent that the related receipt or receivable qualifies for recognition as an asset and there is no obligation or condition to repay the amount. Revenue from non-exchange transactions includes assessments, penalties and interest.

Interest is recognised, in surplus or deficit, using the effective interest rate method. Penalties are recognised when raised on the individual accounts.

1.6.2. Revenue from exchange transactions

Revenue from exchange transactions refers to revenue that accrued to the Fund directly or indirectly in return for the services rendered or/and goods sold, the value of which approximates the consideration received or receivable. Revenue from exchange transactions includes rent, services rendered for exempted employers and other revenue that may accrue to the Fund

1.7. Claims incurred

Claims incurred comprise the total estimated cost of claims that have occurred in the year and for which the Fund is responsible, whether or not reported by the end of the year. Claims and loss adjustment expenses are charged to surplus or deficit as incurred, based on the estimated liability for compensation. The Fund does not discount its liabilities for unpaid claims. Liabilities for unpaid claims are calculated based on an estimated average cost per claim for each underwriting year. The incurred but not reported claims (“IBNR”) are based on estimated unreported claims as calculated by the actuaries. The average cost per claim is based on the actual claims paid and awards made, and estimated outstanding costs (based on the latest and most reliable information available), and the number of claims registered.

Annual Report of the Compensation Fund 2014 127

1.8. Provision for outstanding claims

Liabilities for unpaid claims are calculated based on a long-term trend of annual claim payments. The long term trend is achieved by grouping claims paid in each of the previous ten financial years according to the year of the accident or diagnosis of the disease and the number of years until a payment is made. The Fund makes an allowance for short-term factors and future claims inflations to project the likely incidence of future claim payments. Furthermore, a ‘tail factor’ is applied to the results to reflect the fact that the claims data contains claim payments in respect of accidents that occurred ten or more years ago.

The average cost per claim is based on the actual claims paid and awards made, estimated outstanding costs (based on the latest and most reliable information available) and the number of claims registered.

1.9. Employee benefits

1.9.1. Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are charged as an expense as they fall due.

Payments made to industry-managed (or state plans) retirement benefit schemes are dealt with as defined contribution plans where the entity’s obligation under the schemes is equivalent to those arising in a defined contribution retirement benefit plan.

1.9.2. Defined contribution plans

The Fund makes contributions to a defined contribution plan for employees. All employees are part of the defined contribution plan. A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which a fund pays fixed contributions into a separate Fund and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in surplus or deficit in the periods during which services are rendered by employees.

1.10. Liability adequacy test in respect of claims and benefits

At each reporting date, liability adequacy tests are performed to ensure the adequacy of the insurance liabilities. In performing these tests, current best estimates of future cash flows and administration expenses, as well as investment income, are used. Any deficiency is recognised in the surplus/deficit for the year. This is done based on actuarial valuations.

Contracts under which the Fund accepts significant insurance risk from another party (the claimant) by agreeing to compensate the claimant if a specified uncertain future event (the insured event) adversely affects the claimant, are classified as insurance contacts. The Fund accepts insurance risk as it is mandated by legislation to compensate victims of work related accidents for injuries suffered as a result of work related accidents.

1.11. Capitalised value of pensions

Pensions are paid to disabled claimants, and widows and children of deceased workers from work-related accidents or occupational diseases. The capitalised value of pensions (“CVP”) is the present value of future liabilities. The liability is based on assumptions as to future pension increases, mortality, demographics,

management expenses and investment income, which are reviewed by management on an annual basis for reasonableness. The present value also provides for probable costs payable to the spouse and/or children on subsequent death of the pensioner. In addition to this basic liability value, contingency reserves are held to cover the possible impact of adverse variations of the Compensation Fund. This liability is recalculated at each reporting date, using the assumptions above. Independent actuarial valuations of the CVP are carried out annually and adjusted for any changes in the assumptions. Adjustments to the CVP are included in the surplus or deficit for the year.

1.12. Operating leases – lessee

Leases of assets under which the lessor effectively retains all the risks and benefits of ownership are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are expensed on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. When an operating lease is terminated before the lease period has expired, any payment required to be made to the lessor by way of penalty is recognised as an expense in the period in which termination takes place.

1.13. Property, plant and equipment

Assets accounted for using the revaluation model

Land and buildings comprise mainly of office buildings. Land and buildings are shown at the revalued amount, based on periodic, but at least triennial, valuations by external independent valuers, less subsequent depreciation and impairment losses for buildings. Land and buildings were revalued according to the Income Capitalisation approach. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset, and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset.

Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land and buildings are credited to revaluation reserves in the statement of changes in net assets. However, increases shall be recognised in surplus/deficit to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in surplus/deficit. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged against other revaluation reserves directly in statements of changes in net assets. All other decreases are charged to the statement of financial performance. Each year the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset is charged to the statement of financial performance and depreciation based on the asset’s original cost is transferred from revaluation reserves to accumulated funds.

Land is not depreciated.

Assets accounted for using the cost model

Other items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets. Where an item of property, plant and equipment (“PPE”) is acquired at nil or nominal cost (i.e. a non-exchange transaction) the item is recognised initially at its fair value.

When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.Subsequent costs are included in the assets carrying amount, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Fund and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of financial performance during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Annual Report of the Compensation Fund 2014 129

Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost amounts to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows: property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses except for land which is carried at revalued amount being the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

The useful lives of items of property, plant and equipment have been assessed as follows:

Item Average useful lifeLand IndefiniteBuildings 50 yearsEscalators and elevators 12 – 20 yearsFurniture and fixtures 6 – 10 yearsMotor vehicles 5 yearsIT equipment 3 years

The residual value, and the useful life and depreciation method of each asset are reviewed at the end of each reporting date. If the expectations differ from previous estimates, the change is accounted for as a change in accounting estimate.

Items of property, plant and equipment are derecognised when the asset is disposed of or when there are no further economic benefits or service potential expected from the use of the asset.

The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment is included in surplus or deficit 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.

Assets less than R5,000/capitalisation threshold (assets of a capital nature but costing less than R5,000/capitalisation threshold per unit) are treated as current payments and not capitalised as assets as determined in the economic reporting format.

1.14. Investment property

Investment property includes land and buildings which comprise mainly of office buildings that are held to earn rentals. The Fund uses the fair value model to account for the investment property. Investment property is initially recognised at cost. Subsequently investment property is measured at its fair value. The fair value of investment property is based on annual valuations by external independent valuers, less subsequent fair value adjustments. Land and buildings were revalued according to the Income Capitalisation approach.

The gains and losses arising from the change in fair value of investment property are included in the surplus or deficit for the year.

Investment properties are derecognised when either they are disposed of.

Costs include costs incurred initially and costs incurred subsequently to add to, or to replace a part of, or service a property. If a replacement part is recognised in the carrying amount of the investment property, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.

Annual Report of the Compensation Fund 2014130

1.15. Impairment of non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Fund’s non-financial assets, except for investment property, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit (“CGU”) is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. 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 the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets.

The Fund’s corporate assets do not generate separate cash inflows. If there is an indication that a corporate asset may be impaired, then the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the corporate asset belongs.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in surplus or deficit. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated to reduce the carrying amounts of the assets in the units on a pro rata basis.

Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s 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.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the statement of financial performance.

1.16. Recognition of investment income

Investment income comprises interest income on funds invested, dividend income, changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through surplus or deficit. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in surplus or deficit. Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis, by reference to the nominal value and the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognised when the shareholders’ rights to receive payment have been established. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of instruments traded in an active market are recognised in the surplus/deficit in the period in which they arise.

1.17. Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or a residual interest of another entity.

The amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability is the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount, and minus any reduction (directly or through the use of an allowance account) for impairment or uncollectibility.

Annual Report of the Compensation Fund 2014 131

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation.

Derecognition is the removal of a previously recognised financial asset or financial liability from an entity’s statement of financial position.

A derivative is a financial instrument or other contract with all three of the following characteristics:

price, foreign exchange rate, index of prices or rates, credit rating or credit index, or other variable, provided in the case of a non-financial variable that the variable is not specific to a party to the contract (sometimes called the ‘underlying’)

other types of contracts that would be expected to have a similar response to changes in market factors

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or a financial liability (or group of financial assets or financial liabilities) and of allocating the interest income or interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or, when appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, an entity shall estimate cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, call and similar options) but shall not consider future credit losses. The calculation includes all fees and points paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate (see the Standard of GRAP on Revenue from Exchange Transactions), transaction costs, and all other premiums or discounts. There is a presumption that the cash flows and the expected life of a group of similar financial instruments can be estimated reliably. However, in those rare cases when it is not possible to reliably estimate the cash flows or the expected life of a financial instrument (or group of financial instruments), the entity shall use the contractual cash flows over the full contractual term of the financial instrument (or group of financial instruments).

Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.

A financial asset is:

- receive cash or another financial asset from another entity; or- exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially

favourable to the entity.

A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument.

A financial liability is any liability that is a contractual obligation to:

entity.

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

Liquidity risk is the risk encountered by an entity in the event of difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset.

Loan commitment is a firm commitment to provide credit under pre-specified terms and conditions. Loans payable are financial liabilities, other than short-term payables on normal credit terms.

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk.

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market.

A financial asset is past due when a counterparty has failed to make a payment when contractually due.

A residual interest is any contract that manifests an interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. A residual interest includes contributions from owners, which may be shown as:

as forming part of an entity’s net assets, either before the contribution occurs or at the time of the contribution; or

the net assets of an entity.

Transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of a financial asset or financial liability. An incremental cost is one that would not have been incurred if the entity had not acquired, issued or disposed of the financial instrument.

Financial instruments at amortised cost are non-derivative financial assets or non-derivative financial liabilities that have fixed or determinable payments, excluding those instruments that:

Financial instruments at cost are investments in residual interests that do not have a quoted market price in an active market, and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured.

Financial instruments at fair value comprise financial assets or financial liabilities that are:

- it is acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the near-term; or- on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and

for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short term profit-taking;

Annual Report of the Compensation Fund 2014134

Fair value measurement considerations

The best evidence of fair value is quoted prices in an active market. If the market for a financial instrument is not active, the entity establishes fair value by using a valuation technique. The objective of using a valuation technique is to establish what the transaction price would have been on the measurement date in an arm’s length exchange motivated by normal operating considerations. Valuation techniques include using recent arm’s length market transactions between knowledgeable, willing parties, if available, reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models. If there is a valuation technique commonly used by market participants to price the instrument and that technique has been demonstrated to provide reliable estimates of prices obtained in actual market transactions, the entity uses that technique. The chosen valuation technique makes maximum use of market inputs and relies as little as possible on entity-specific inputs. It incorporates all factors that market participants would consider in setting a price and is consistent with accepted economic methodologies for pricing financial instruments. Periodically, an entity calibrates the valuation technique and tests it for validity using prices from any observable current market transactions in the same instrument (i.e. without modification or repackaging) or based on any available observable market data.

The fair value of a financial liability with a demand feature (e.g. a demand deposit) is not less than the amount payable on demand, discounted from the first date that the amount could be required to be paid.

Reclassification

The entity does not reclassify a financial instrument while it is issued or held unless it is:

Where the entity cannot reliably measure the fair value of an embedded derivative that has been separated from a host contract that is a financial instrument at a subsequent reporting date, it measures the combined instrument at fair value. This requires a reclassification of the instrument from amortised cost or cost to fair value.

If fair value can no longer be measured reliably for an investment in a residual interest measured at fair value, the entity reclassifies the investment from fair value to cost. The carrying amount at the date that fair value is no longer available becomes the cost.

If a reliable measure becomes available for an investment in a residual interest for which a measure was previously not available, and the instrument would have been required to be measured at fair value, the entity reclassifies the instrument from cost to fair value.

Gains and losses

A gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value of a financial asset or financial liability measured at fair value is recognised in surplus or deficit.

For financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost or cost, a gain or loss is recognised in surplus or deficit when the financial asset or financial liability is derecognised or impaired, or through the amortisation process.

Annual Report of the Compensation Fund 2014 135

Impairment and uncollectibility of financial assets

The entity assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.

Financial assets measured at amortised cost:

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets measured at amortised cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced directly OR through the use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss is recognised in surplus or deficit.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed directly or by adjusting an allowance account. The reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised at the date the impairment is reversed. The amount of the reversal is recognised in surplus or deficit.

Financial assets measured at cost:

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred on an investment in a residual interest that is not measured at fair value because its fair value cannot be measured reliably, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the financial asset and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment losses are not reversed.

Derecognition

Financial assets

The entity derecognises financial assets using trade date accounting.

The entity derecognises a financial asset only when:

asset; or

has transferred control of the asset to another party and the other party has the practical ability to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party, and is able to exercise that ability unilaterally and without needing to impose additional restrictions on the transfer. In this case, the entity:- derecognise the asset; and- recognise separately any rights and obligations created or retained in the transfer.

The carrying amounts of the transferred asset are allocated between the rights or obligations retained and those transferred on the basis of their relative fair values at the transfer date. Newly created rights and obligations are measured at their fair values at that date. Any difference between the consideration received and the amounts recognised and derecognised is recognised in surplus or deficit in the period of the transfer.

Annual Report of the Compensation Fund 2014136

If the entity transfers a financial asset in a transfer that qualifies for derecognition in its entirety and retains the right to service the financial asset for a fee, it recognise either a servicing asset or a servicing liability for that servicing contract. If the fee to be received is not expected to compensate the entity adequately for performing the servicing, a servicing liability for the servicing obligation is recognised at its fair value. If the fee to be received is expected to be more than adequate compensation for the servicing, a servicing asset is recognised for the servicing right at an amount determined on the basis of an allocation of the carrying amount of the larger financial asset.

If, as a result of a transfer, a financial asset is derecognised in its entirety but the transfer results in the entity obtaining a new financial asset or assuming a new financial liability, or a servicing liability, the entity recognises the new financial asset, financial liability or servicing liability at fair value.

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received is recognised in surplus or deficit.

If the transferred asset is part of a larger financial asset and the part transferred qualifies for derecognition in its entirety, the previous carrying amount of the larger financial asset is allocated between the part that continues to be recognised and the part that is derecognised, based on the relative fair values of those parts, on the date of the transfer. For this purpose, a retained servicing asset is treated as a part that continues to be recognised. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part derecognised and the sum of the consideration received for the part derecognised is recognised in surplus or deficit.

If a transfer does not result in derecognition because the entity has retained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the transferred asset, the entity continues to recognise the transferred asset in its entirety and recognises a financial liability for the consideration received. In subsequent periods, the entity recognises any revenue on the transferred asset and any expense incurred on the financial liability. Neither the asset, and the associated liability nor the revenue, and the associated expenses are offset.

Financial liabilities

The entity removes a financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) from its statement of financial position when it is extinguished — i.e. when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled, expires or waived.

An exchange between an existing borrower and lender of debt instruments with substantially different terms is accounted for as having extinguished the original financial liability and a new financial liability is recognised. Similarly, a substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability or a part of it is accounted for as having extinguished the original financial liability and having recognised a new financial liability.

The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability (or part of a financial liability) extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in surplus or deficit. Any liabilities that are waived, forgiven or assumed by another entity by way of a non-exchange transaction are accounted for in accordance with the Standard of GRAP on Revenue from non-exchange transactions (taxes and transfers).

Presentation

Interest relating to a financial instrument or a component that is a financial liability is recognised as revenue or expense in surplus or deficit.

Dividends or similar distributions relating to a financial instrument or a component that is a financial liability is recognised as revenue or expense in surplus or deficit.

Losses and gains relating to a financial instrument or a component that is a financial liability is recognised as revenue or expense in surplus or deficit.

Distributions to holders of residual interests are debited by the entity directly to net assets, net of any related income tax benefit [where applicable]. Transaction costs incurred on residual interests is accounted for as a deduction from net assets, net of any related income tax benefit.

A financial asset and a financial liability are only offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when the entity currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

In accounting for a transfer of a financial asset that does not qualify for derecognition, the entity does not offset the transferred asset and the associated liability.

1.18. Key management personnel

Key management personnel are staff that have the authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Compensation Fund. Compensation paid to key management personnel is included in the Disclosure Notes.

1.19. Provisions

Provisions are recognised when:

to settle the obligation; and

The amount of a provision is the best estimate of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date.

Where the effect of time value of money is material, the amount of a provision is the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation.

The discount rate is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

Where some or all of the expenditure required to settle a provision is expected to be reimbursed by another party, the reimbursement is recognised when, and only when, it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received if the entity settles the obligation. The reimbursement is treated as a separate asset. The amount recognised for the reimbursement does not exceed the amount of the provision.

Annual Report of the Compensation Fund 2014138

Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Provisions are reversed if it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits or service potential will be required, to settle the obligation.

Where discounting is used, the carrying amount of a provision increases in each period to reflect the passage of time. This increase is recognised as an interest expense.

A provision is used only for expenditures for which the provision was originally recognised. Provisions are not recognised for future operating deficits.

If an entity has a contract that is onerous, the present obligation (net of recoveries) under the contract is recognised and measured as a provision.

Contingent assets and contingent liabilities are not recognised. Contingencies are disclosed in note 25.

1.20. Unclaimed monies

If money owing to an employee or his/her dependant has remained unpaid after 12 months because it has not been claimed and the person in question has not been traced, the Compensation Commissioner shall effect a notice to be published annually in the Government Gazette with particulars of every unclaimed amount of more than R100. Any person claiming the amount shall be called upon to submit his/her claim to the Commissioner within one month after the date of the notice.

If at the expiration of the said month, no claim has been submitted, or a claim that has been submitted has been rejected by the Compensation Commissioner, the said amount shall be paid into the reserve fund.

1.21. Fruitless and wasteful expenditure

Fruitless expenditure means expenditure which was made in vain and would have been avoided had reasonable care been exercised.

All expenditure relating to fruitless and wasteful expenditure is recognised as an expense in the statement of financial performance in the year that the expenditure was incurred. The expenditure is classified in accordance with the nature of the expense, and where recovered, it is subsequently accounted for as revenue in the statement of financial performance.

1.22. Inventories

Inventories are initially measured at cost except where inventories are acquired through a non-exchange transaction, then their costs are their fair value as at the date of acquisition.

Subsequently inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and current replacement cost where they are held for:

Annual Report of the Compensation Fund 2014 139

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of operations less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale, exchange or distribution.

Current replacement cost is the cost the entity incurs to acquire the asset on the reporting date.

The cost of inventories comprises of all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

The cost of inventories of items that are not ordinarily interchangeable and goods or services produced and segregated for specific projects is assigned using specific identification of the individual costs.

The cost of inventories is assigned using the formula. The same cost formula is used for all inventories having a similar nature and use to the entity.

When inventories are sold, the carrying amounts of those inventories are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. If there is no related revenue, the expenses are recognised when the goods are distributed, or related services are rendered. The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realisable value or current replacement cost and all losses of inventories are recognised as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories, arising from an increase in net realisable value or current replacement cost, are recognised as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.

Change in accounting policy

The entity changed its accounting policy for inventories in 2014. The change in accounting policy is made in accordance with its transitional provision as per Directive 2 of the GRAP Reporting Framework.

According to the transitional provision, the entity is not required to measure inventories for reporting periods beginning on or after a date within three years following the date of initial adoption of the Standard of GRAP on Inventories. Inventories has accordingly been recognised at provisional amounts, as disclosed in 14. The transitional provision expires on .

In accordance with the transitional provision as per Directive 2 of the GRAP Reporting Framework, where inventories was acquired through a transfer of functions, the entity is not required to measure the inventories for a period of three years from the effective date of the transfer of functions or the effective date of the Standard, whichever is later. The entity acquired a transfer(s) of function in 2014 and inventories has accordingly been recognised at provisional amounts, as disclosed in 14.

Until such time as the measurement period expires and inventories is recognised and measured in accordance with the requirements of the Standard of GRAP on Intangible assets, the entity need not comply with the Standards of GRAP on:

The exemption from applying the measurement requirements of the Standard of GRAP on Inventories implies that any associated presentation and disclosure requirements need not be complied with for inventories not measured in accordance with the requirements of the Standard of GRAP on Inventories.

1.23. Related parties

The entity operates in an economic sector currently dominated by entities directly or indirectly owned by the South African Government. As a consequence of the constitutional independence of the three spheres of government in South Africa, only entities within the national sphere of government are considered to be related parties.

Key management are those persons responsible for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity, including those charged with the governance of the entity in accordance with legislation, in instances where they are required to perform such functions.

Close members of the family of a person are considered to be those family members who may be expected to influence, or be influenced by, management in their dealings with the entity.

Only transactions with related parties not at arm’s length or not in the ordinary course of business are disclosed.

1.24. Event after the reporting date

Recognised amounts in the Annual Financial Statements are adjusted to reflect events arising after the reporting date that provide evidence of conditions that existed at the reporting date. Events after the reporting date that are indicative of conditions that arose after the reporting are dealt with by way of a note.

2. Risk management

Financial risk management

In terms of Section 18(2) of the Compensation of Occupational Diseases Act (Act no 130 of 1993 (“COIDA”), the Public Investment Corporation (“PIC”) is appointed as the Fund’s Investment Manager. The Fund transfers surplus cash to the PIC to invest in terms of the Fund’s investment strategy and the investment policy of the PIC. All investments and deposits are registered by the PIC in the Fund’s portfolio account.

The Fund is exposed to financial risk through its financial assets and liabilities. The main components of financial risk are:

Credit risk

The Fund has exposure to credit risk, which is the risk that a counterparty will be unable to pay amounts in full when due. The key areas of exposure are amounts due from employers and investment securities. Assessments due are represented by assessments raised on employers. Assessments raised are distributed nationally across different classes of employers in terms of an industrial classification approved by the Director-General as supported by the Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act (Act no 130 of 1993).

Account receivables are presented net of allowance for impairment, estimated by the Fund’s management based on prior experience and the current environment. The credit risk with respect to account receivables is limited due to the large number of employers and their distribution across different industries and geographical areas. However, recoveries of outstanding amounts from liquidated and deceased estates carries a higher risk of non-recovery, due to the nature of accounts.

The Act provides the framework wherein the Fund assess employers and collects the assessments due. The Fund has policies and procedures in place to ensure that assessments are made accurately and followed up timely, including issuing of penalties and interest on late payment.

The Fund has an approved credit risk policy, which has been included in the investment mandate given to the Asset manager. The Fund utilises the policy to manage the credit risk limits and exposures by constraining the magnitude and tenor of exposures to counterparties and issuers.

The Fund also uses the DI900 as a guide on limit setting for the Banking institutions. The Compensation Fund only invests in listed instruments that are at least “A”s defined by Fitch IBCA or any recognised credit rating agency. The mandate also permits investment in the following asset classes: cash, money markets, capital markets and domestic equities.

Financial assets exposed to credit risk at year end were as follows:

Collateral

Licences held in terms of Section 30 of COIDA to carry out the business of the Fund in certain industries have been issued by the Minister of Labour to two mutual associations Rand Mutual Association (“RMA”) and Federation of Employers Association (“FEMA”). These mutual associations must deposit securities with the Fund to cover their liabilities. Furthermore national, provincial government departments as well as certain local authorities have been granted exemption from paying the annual assessments and are liable to pay compensation to their injured employees at their workplace. In terms of Section 30 of the Act, these exempted employers are required to deposit securities with the Fund. These securities are equivalent to the capitalised pension of their employees.

If mutual associations or exempted employers fail to meet in full their liabilities, in terms of the Act the Fund may apply such securities to pay their liabilities, and the balance of the liabilities and future liabilities of the employer will have to be paid from the Fund’s reserves. The securities thus controlled by the Fund amounts to R309,3 million (2013 R1,578 million).

Liquidity risk

The Fund is exposed to a daily call on its available cash resources, arising mostly from short-term claims. Liquidity risk is the risk that cash resources or other financial assets are not available to pay claims when due. The Fund ensures that adequate levels of cash are immediately available without incurring penalties. Cash flow reports are prepared daily to ensure that the Fund has sufficient funds to cover all operational expenses. The Fund’s investment mandate is guided by its operational requirements.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates and equity prices will affect the Fund’s income or the value of its holding of financial instruments.

Interest rate risk

The Fund holds more than 50% of its financial assets in debt securities (Government Bonds and Public Utility Bonds) and substantial investments in cash and cash equivalents and money market instruments. The return on these instruments, and the market value of debt securities are affected by fluctuations in interest rates.

Excluding the movement in the pensions liability and rebates provision, which is discretionary, the Fund currently covers all claims and benefits from operational cash, and therefore is not dependent on investment income to sustain its operations. The pensions liability is actuarially valued on an annual basis, which is impacted by the future anticipated interest return. Changes in interest rates are managed on behalf of the Fund by the PIC.

This risk is the potential financial loss as a result of adverse movements in interest rates that affects the value of bonds and money market instruments. The Compensation Fund has exposure to interest rate risk through investments in money markets and bonds. The purpose of sensitivity analysis is to reveal any vulnerabilities of the portfolio to changes in the value-drivers. For an equities portfolio the driver of value are the equity prices, while for a fixed income portfolio the interest rates that determine the value of the investments are the value-drivers. This type of analysis is forward-looking in nature in that the current holdings of the portfolio at the point in time is used to assess the impact on the portfolio value due to potential changes in the value-drivers. The limitations of the sensitivity analysis are that there are no probabilities attached to the scenarios created as well as the fact that one is using a limited number of scenarios. The investment portfolio sensitivity is evaluated through stress testing the portfolio using the following methodology:

The portfolio is separated into two: equities and fixed income. The stress test is a point in time estimate.

On bonds the yields to maturity is moved by the specified quantum and the bond re-valued (bond pricing formula). The aggregate value of all instruments represents the bond portfolio value and the difference with the base value i.e. the current value represents the gain or loss.

This risk is the potential financial loss as a result of adverse movements in interest rates that affects the value of bonds and money market instruments. The Compensation Fund has exposure to interest rate risk through investments in money markets and bonds.

The sensitivity to interest rate movements is measured by the duration of the fixed interest exposure. Such duration is managed relative to an appropriate benchmark. To manage the duration, the PIC utilises a combination of instruments to get closer to the benchmark duration.

The fixed income asset class is not as volatile as the equity markets, an assumption of this sensitivity analysis is that the interest rates move by 50 basis points at a time. This analysis assumes that all variables remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2013.

The effect of changes in interest rates on the fixed income component of the assets under management, which excludes non performing instruments and over the counter structured products are set out in the following tables:

Equity price risk

Equity price risk arises from equity securities held for meeting the Fund’s compensation and pension obligations. This risk is the potential financial loss as a result of movements in the level or volatility of equity prices, which affects the value of equity and equity derivative instruments. The Compensation Fund has an exposure to equity price risk as a result of its investments in equity instruments and equity derivatives.

This is the risk that the Fund will not realise the value if its equity securities, which may impact the Fund’s ability to meet liabilities. The Fund manages this risk by investing in low-risk/no-risk instruments.

Exposure to equity risk

The Fund’s exposure to equity price risk was as follows based on fair value of the equity items:

Annual Report of the Compensation Fund 2014154

Basis of determining fair value

The following summarises the significant methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair values of financial instruments reflected in the table above:

Capital market, equity instruments and derivatives

The fair value of capital market and equity instruments is determined by reference to their quoted closing price at the reporting date.

Money market instruments

Money market instruments (financial instrument bills, promissory notes and certificates of deposits) are valued by the Money Market Curve. The nominal annual rate of interest compounded continuously is converted to a simple rate for discount securities, and to a NACA, NACS, NACQ or NACM for fixed interest instruments depending on the maturity profile.

Annual Report of the Compensation Fund 2014156

During the last financial year the Fund agreed to pay five (5) medical service providers an amount totalling R521 million. The reason was that Compensation Fund was unable to process backlogs on medical claims due to the SAP-ICM system being too slow and dysfunctional. A total of R83.7 million has since been repaid and the outstanding amount is R456 million. There was a further advance of R18.2 given which related to the court order under the year under review

This resulted in the Fund facing serious litigations from respective medical service providers due to unpaid claims. In order to mitigate against the litigations the Fund opted for an option of making advance payments to the medical services providers.

It was agreed between the Fund and the medical service providers that as soon as the payments were made on the outstanding claims the providers will hence forth refund the Fund.

Details of valuation

The Income Capitalisation approach was used to value the land and buildings as at 28 February 2014 by an independent valuer namely Rhode and Associates (Pty) Ltd (2013: Khanyisa property and management service). This approach considers income and expense data relating to the property being valued and estimates a value through a capitalisation process. A capitalisation rate of 12% has been applied in the cash flow analysis for the Bhisho building. The capitalisation rate is determined by the rate at which similar assets have traded recently. Rental revenue generated by the investment property for the current year amounted to R941,641 (2013: R854,000). There was no direct expenditure that related to the investment property at Bhisho for the current year.

25. Contingencies

Securities

Licences in terms of Section 30 of the Act to carry out the business of the Fund in certain industries have been issued by the Minister of Labour to two mutual associations. These mutual associations must deposit securities with the Fund to cover its liabilities. Furthermore, certain local authorities have been granted exemption from paying annual assessments and are liable to pay compensation to their injured employees in the workplace. In terms of Section 31 of the Act, these exempted employers are required to deposit securities with the Fund, which are equivalent to the capitalised pensions of their employees.

If a mutual association or an exempted employer fails to meet in full its liabilities, in terms of the Act, the Accounting Authority may apply such securities to pay the liabilities, and the balance of the liabilities and future liabilities of the employer will have to be paid from the reserves. The securities thus controlled by the Fund amounts to R309.3 million (2013: R1,578 million).

The Fund has received approximately 120 (2013: 223) notices of motions and summons and as a result thereof is financially exposed to approximately R288 million (2013: R100 million), inclusive of legal costs.
