Fundamental Error
We will ensure full compliance with AC111 on Revenue recognition. Whereas previously revenue was accounted for on a cash basis we have now switched to the accrual basis of recognition.
30th November 2005
NSF Projects. A separate set of general ledger accounts has been set up in order to account for NSF projects separately from Isett accounts. Thus all SLA’s signed with the vendors will now distinguish between the Isett and the NSF obligations and payments will be split accordingly between the two.
30th November 2005
Opening Balances The discipline has already been put in place to close off the system (Great Plains) every month and do proper cut-offs from month to month.
30th November 2005
Fixed Assets Fixed Assets register will be updated to ensure full compliance with Companies Act and PFMA
