FOREWORD BY MINISTER

The unprecedented demand for infrastructure linked to the 2010 F I F A S o cc e r W o r l d C u p w a s a g o l d e n o p p o r t u n i t y f o r S o u t h A f r i c a . While the country was the overall winner, the effort by all role players s h o u l d be c e l e b r a t e d . W e s h o u l d c e l e b r a t e t h e t e c h n i c a l e x p e r t i s e we have showcased during the period when we were faced with an acute shortage of skills. It would have been difficult to deliver the required infrastructure under the given tight deadlines without a streamlined procurement system for the construction industry. In this regard we should commend the cidb, the host cities, the built environment professions and contractors for a spectacular performance. We were hoping that the positive effects of the demand for infrastructure would lead to many years of growth in our economy. The South African construction industry is now faced with a sustainability challenge based on a world-wide downswing as well as country specific problems. From a number of years when the industry was a beacon of hope for the country’s economic performance over the few years leading to the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup, the future of the industry now requires critical analysis.

There is overwhelming evidence that numerous companies have been forced to close down due to the difficult operating environment. Payment delays and poor project implementation have imposed an unpleasant climate for mainly small businesses. It is unacceptable that we fail to rollout approved projects and return millions of Rands to the National Treasury. As a result we work against government’s priorities of creating jobs. We therefore plead with all municipalities, provincial and national departments as well as State Owned Enterprises to pay contractors on time. I know t h a t p u bl i c s e c t o r c l i e n t s h a v e s t a r t e d d o i n g s o m e t h i n g t o a d d r e s s this issue.

CEO’S REPORT

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW We live in times that require responses to ever changing priorities. The recent global crisis that culminated in the 2009-2010 economic recession, and how it has affected various sectors of the economy, requires our collective wisdom, effort and speedy resolution. Our responses should be able to focus on our unique as well as common challenges as different nations and sectors of the economy. It is therefore important that we are able to identify solutions for micro challenges and extrapolate the solutions we provide to a macro level, taking advantage of common threads between us. It is also important for us to be guided by leaders who are able to live by example and show us sustainable solutions.

The South African construction industry has experienced a positive image, state-of-the-art infrastructure and economic development between 2004 and 2010, leading to the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup. As a nation we have passed the litmus test on hosting a s u c c e s s fu l w o r l d c u p o f t h i s m a g n i t u d e . T h e b u i l t e n v i r o n m e n t , a n d the construction industry in particular, should be celebrated for this national achievement. While it is still a long road to where we s h o u l d be i n t a c k l i n g t h e i n f r a s t r u c t u r e b a c k l o g , o u r a c h i e v e m e n t s during the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup were no small feat. We have demonstrated capability and capacity to design, fund and construct a diverse suite of modern infrastructure under tight deadlines. Through the lessons learnt in various aspects of project managing the delivery of the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup™ infrastructure, we are now able to share our experiences with the world. Our country has an unfortunate combination of first world and third world economies. We still have a huge backlog of critical and b a s i c i n fr a s t r u c t u r e f o r t h e v a s t m a j o r i t y o f o u r p e o p l e . W i t h p r o p e r planning we should be able to design, fund and construct the much needed infrastructure that will improve the quality of life for our citizens, especially the poorest of the poor.

ACCOUNTING AUTHORITY’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2011

A N NU A L REP OR T 2 0 10 / 1 1


110

ACCOUNTING AUTHORITY’S REPORT for the year ended 31 March 2011

NATURE OF BUSINESS The Construction Industry Development Board (cidb) is a Schedule 3A public entity established in terms of the cidb Act, 2000 to provide strategic leadership to stakeholders to stimulate sustainable growth, reform and improvement of the construction sector and the industry’s enhanced role in the country’s economy, as well as regulate the industry. The cidb is under the Executive Authority of the Department of Public Works.

OBJECTIVES AND TARGETS The objectives and targets of the cidb are summarised in the organisation’s Strategic Plan, Business Plan and the performance summary, which is included in the two documents. In terms of the external strategic context the activities of the cidb were focused on Public Sector Procurement reform and Delivery Management, facilitating training and fast tracking Contractor Development, Infrastructure Delivery Skills as well as improved stakeholder relations. The capacitation of public sector clients continued on an “as required” basis. Public sector delivery has been enhanced through the Infrastructure Delivery Improvement Programme (IDIP) that is run in partnership with the National Treasury and the DBSA. The National Contractor Development Programme (NCDP), a contractor development framework, was identified as a national priority. It was supported by the establishment of the Steering Committee between the cidb and the National Department of Public Works. Already, the cidb has worked with the provincial departments of Public Works to acquire their statistics on contractor development, an activity that was difficult to accomplish in the past. The cidb /industry ESDA (Employment Skills Development Agency) was kick-started through a pilot phase using internal resources. The first group of learners was inducted and placed with various companies in the industry. The absorption capacity of this initiative will depend on funding. During the year under review, the cidb appointed Wits University and NMMU (Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University) as its Centres of Excellence to drive the research agenda and improve academic excellence. Again this has been achieved with limited resources from the cidb. There was a further delay in the construction of the permanent Construction Contact Centre (CCC) office in the North West province, the last one to be officially opened. The North West CCC will continue to operate from the temporary premises that have been used so far. The official opening will now be in the financial year 2011/12. The cidb Register of Professional Service Providers (RoPSP) could not be implemented as previously envisaged but the Board approved that this register be implemented as a pilot from the year 2011/12. The implementation plan will be finalised and rolled out during the year 2011/12. The National Stakeholder Forum was successfully held in October 2010. It was supported by the Provincial Stakeholder Workshops in six provinces by the end of March 2011. The remaining provinces were KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), Limpopo and the Free State. The KZN workshop was re-scheduled to April 2011 due to other commitments by the provincial Department of Public Works. Also, the cidb cohosted the international 2010 Construction Summit with the CIOB (Chartered Institute of Building) in May 2010. The Best Practice Schemes have progressed further in that the piloting of the prioritised components has moved to the final stages with participants. The pilot outcomes will inform how and when the next stages of implementation will be developed. CO NS T RU CT IO N I N D US T RY DE VEL OP M EN T B O AR D

The review of the registration criteria was concluded and the proposed amendments to the regulations are ready for submission to the Minister to publish for public comments and further processing. This will see many changes aimed at improving the registration process being implemented. The initial phase of the registration software rewrite has been started in a project that will create a new platform for the Registers Programme over the next three years. In terms of corporate governance, the term of the 3rd Board of the cidb ended on 12 December 2010. The Board appointment process was finalised in April 2011, with the first meeting scheduled for 30 May 2011. During the period from 13 December 2010 to 31 March 2011 the CEO acted as Accounting Authority, based on the PFMA Section 49(2)(b), a position that the Minister concurred with during the period under review.

ACCOUNTING AUTHORITY’S REPORT for the year ended 31 March 2011

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE The Register of Contractors’ previous growth momentum has levelled off in the current year. During the year under review actual total revenue raised amounted to R45.1m. Of this revenue, R21.4m was realised from annual fees of new contractor registrations, upgrades and renewals, the balance of R23.6m was generated from administration fees and other related income (all classified as “the rest”). All compliant applications were processed and communication requesting outstanding information was sent out for non-compliant applications. Refunds of annual fees become due to contractors who qualify for grades lower than that applied for, and also for applications that are not processed due to non-compliance by contractors. The cidb managed to process refunds amounting to R3.9m. In order to action any refunds cidb prompts contractors by sending refund request forms for contractors to complete. This is done in order to ensure that refunds are processed to correct and up to date banking accounts. Total revenue budget was exceeded by R8.8m of which R6.8m relates to registers revenue and the balance is for interest and other revenue. The surplus for the year amounts to R10.0m and accumulated reserves total R52.6m. Of the accumulated surpluses, R1.2m will be utilised for the future amortisation of the lease rentals on the office building and the balance will be used mainly to fund the development of the EDMS and Registration systems, special projects such as communication, research & development, green star rating, contractor development and fraud prevention. Cash and cash equivalents balance for the year amount to R80.8m.

EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION DATE No events took place between the year-end date (31 March 2011) and the date on which the financial statements were signed that were sufficiently material to warrant disclosure to interested parties.

AUDIT COMMITTEE The Audit Committee consists of external members and two Board members. The external members, namely Ms Shelley Thomas (Chairperson), Victor Nondabula and Bryan Chaplog (resigned in August 2010 and replaced by Nala Mhlongo in January 2011), are supported by two Board members: Messrs Marten Govender and Lwandile Kona both of whose terms of office expired in December 2010. A new rotation system was adopted during the current period whereby the current members of the committee are replaced in a staggered approach over the next three years in order to ensure continuity within the committee. The charter has been amended accordingly in this regard. The committee meets at least twice per annum as per its approved terms of reference. Appointed by the Board from 1 July 2007, the Committee met ten times in the current year, five of the meetings were special meetings. The Audit Committee is chaired by an independent chartered accountant who is neither an executive nor a Board member of the cidb. Committee meetings are attended by members of the Auditor-General’s office and the internal auditors.

INTERNAL AUDIT UNIT

A N NU A L REP OR T 2 0 10 / 1 1

The internal audit unit is outsourced to KPMG Chartered Accountants. Their function is mandated by the Audit Committee. The internal audit unit measures and evaluates the effectiveness and application of policies, procedures, systems and processes designed to fulfil the requirements of the risk management policy, and general compliance with governance principles, regulation and the safeguarding of assets. In the year under review internal audit focused on the Construction Registers Service (CRS), Finance, IT and Human Resources.

ACCOUNTING AUTHORITY’S REPORT for the year ended 31 March 2011

REMUNERATION COMMITTEE The Remuneration Committee comprises three Board members appointed by the Board, namely Ms Nyeleti Charmaine Makhubele (Chairperson), Messrs Nazir Alli and Cannon Noyana. This committee is tasked with the evaluation and review of human resource strategy and operations. The committee’s terms of reference include considering and making recommendations to the Board on matters relating to general staff policy, remuneration, bonuses, review of service contracts and other benefits. The Remuneration Committee also evaluated and approved staff salaries during the current period and its term of office came to an end in December 2010. The evaluation of performance bonuses for the period ending 31 March 2011 was conducted by the Leadership and approved by the CEO as the standing Accounting Authority while the Board was still being appointed.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT The cidb adopted the policy as prescribed by GRAP 17 relating to the assessing of useful life and residual value of property, plant and equipment. Residual values and useful life are assessed at the end of each financial year. There has been no change in the policy relating to the use of property, plant and equipment.

MATERIALITY FRAMEWORK The cidb in line with the Public Finance Management Act has updated its materiality framework. The framework has been presented to the Board for their approval.

RISK ASSESSMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROLS The cidb endeavours to minimise risk by ensuring that appropriate systems, policies, personnel and controls are in place throughout the organisation. A risk assessment exercise was performed during 2009/2010 financial year to identify areas of risk and to map appropriate controls over the past financial year. The process was facilitated by the Risk and Governance manager and was aimed to determine the material risks to which the cidb was exposed and to evaluate the strategy for managing these risks. The cidb relied on the outsourced internal audit function and external auditors for independent appraisal of the adequacy and effectiveness of the internal controls. The Audit and Risk Committees, with extensive input by the internal and external auditors, played a role in assisting management to assess the adequacy and effectiveness of the accounting system, records and internal control.

The annual financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis unless otherwise indicated. The principle accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. Assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses have not been offset except where offsetting is required or permitted by a Standard of GRAP. The principle accounting policies are applied consistently with those used to present the previous year’s financial statements, unless explicitly stated. The details of any changes in principle accounting policies are explained in the relevant policy.

1.2. PRESENTATION CURRENCY The financial statements are presented in South African Rand, which is the functional currency of the entity, and are rounded off to the nearest Rand.

1.3. GOING CONCERN ASSUMPTION These annual financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the entity will continue to operate as a going concern for at least the next 12 months.

1.4. COMPARATIVE INFORMATION When the presentation or classification of items in the annual financial statements is amended, prior period comparative amounts are restated. The nature and reason for the reclassification is disclosed. Where accounting errors have been identified in the current year, the correction is made retrospectively as far as is practicable, and the prior year comparatives are restated accordingly. Where there has been a change in accounting policy in the current year, the adjustment is made retrospectively as far as is practicable, and the prior year comparatives are restated accordingly. 1.5. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT An asset of property, plant and equipment is recorded on receipt of the item at cost. Cost of an asset is defined as the total cost of acquisition. An asset is recognised when it is probable that there will be an inflow of future economic benefits associated with it and its cost or fair value can be measured reliably.

CO NS T RU CT IO N I N D US T RY DE VEL OP M EN T B O AR D

All property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Such cost includes the cost of replacing a portion of equipment only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the entity and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Subsequent costs and additions are included in the asset’s carrying amount or are recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of financial performance during the financial period in which they are incurred. All property and equipment are depreciated. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment begins when it is available for use, ie when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Depreciation ceases at the earlier of the date that the asset is classified as held for sale and the date that the asset is derecognised. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on the straight-line basis to write of the cost of each asset to its residual value over its estimated useful life. The depreciation rates applicable to each category of property, plant and equipment are as follows: Computer equipment 8 years to 12 years Office equipment 8 years to 12 years Furniture and fittings 10 years to 14 years The residual values and the useful lives of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each balance sheet date and, if expectations differ from the previous estimates, the changes are accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate in accordance with standard of GRAP. An item of property, plant and equipment is scrapped upon disposal or when no future economic benefits and service potential are expected from its use or disposal. Any surplus or deficit arising on scrapping of the assets (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of financial performance in the year the asset is derecognised.


121

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

1.5. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (CONTINUED) Surpluses and deficits on disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined by reference to their carrying amount and are taken into account in determining operating surplus. 1.5.1 Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment At each financial position date or more frequently where events or changes in circumstances dictate; indicators of impairment of property and equipment are assessed. If there is an indication of impairment, a review is performed which includes a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset with its recoverable amount which is the higher of the asset’s or the cashgenerating unit’s fair value less costs to sell, and its value in use. Fair value less costs to sell is calculated by reference to the amount at which the asset could be disposed of in a binding sale agreement in an arm’s length transaction evidenced by an active market or recent transactions for similar assets. Value in use is calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows obtained as a result of the asset’s continued use, including those resulting from its ultimate disposal, at a market based discount rate on a pre-tax 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 had been recognised. The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are written down by the amount of any impairment and this loss is recognised in the statement of financial performance in the period in which it occurs. Repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of financial performance during the financial period in which they are incurred.

1.6. INTANGIBLE ASSETS An intangible asset is recorded on receipt of the item at cost. Cost of an asset is defined as the total cost of acquisition . An intangible asset is recognised when it is probable that there will be an inflow of future economic benefits or service potential associated with it and its cost or fair value can be measured reliably.

A N NU A L REP OR T 2 0 10 / 1 1

Costs associated with developing or maintaining computer software programmes are recognised as an expense when incurred in the statement of financial performance. Costs that are directly associated with the production of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the Construction Industry Development Board, and that will probably generate economic benefits and service potential exceeding costs beyond one year, are recognised as intangible assets. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at each reporting date and any changes are recognised as a change in accounting estimate in the Statement of Financial Performance. Amortisation is charged so as to write off the cost or valuation of intangible assets over their estimated useful lives using the straight line method. Amortisation commences when the asset is available for use, ie when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Amortisation ceases at the earlier of the date that the asset is classified as held for sale and the date that the asset is derecognised. The annual amortisation rates are based on the following estimated average asset lives: Computer software 5 years to 10 years


122

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

1.6. INTANGIBLE ASSETS The entity tests intangible assets with finite useful lives for impairment where there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. An assessment of whether there is an indication of possible impairment is done at each reporting date. Where the carrying amount of an item of an intangible asset is greater than the estimated recoverable amount (or recoverable service amount), it is written down immediately to its recoverable amount (or recoverable service amount) and an impairment loss is charged to the Statement of Financial Performance. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed when there is an indication that it may no longer exist or may have decreased, however not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortisation) had no impairment been recognised in prior years.

1.7. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES Trade and other receivables are categorised as financial assets: loans and receivables and are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost. Amortised cost refers to the initial carrying amount, plus interest, less repayments and impairments. An estimate is made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts at year-end. Impairments are determined by discounting expected future cash flows to their present value. Amounts that are receivable within 12 months from the reporting date are classified as current. An impairment of trade receivables is accounted for by reducing the carrying amount of trade receivables through the use of an allowance account, and the amount of the loss is recognised in the Statement of Financial Performance within operating expenses. When a trade receivable is uncollectible, it is written off in the Statement of Financial Performance . Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are recognised as income in the Statement of Financial Performance.

1.8. TRADE PAYABLES Financial liabilities consist of trade payables. They are categorised as financial liabilities held at amortised cost, are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost which is the initial carrying amount, less repayments, plus interest.

1.9. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

CO NS T RU CT IO N I N D US T RY DE VEL OP M EN T B O AR D

Cash includes cash on hand (including petty cash) and cash with banks (including call deposits). Cash equivalents are shortterm highly liquid investments, readily convertible into known amounts of cash, which are held with registered banking institutions with maturities of three months or less and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits held on call with banks. The entity categorises cash and cash equivalents as financial assets: loans and receivables. 1.10. IRREGULAR, FRUITLESS AND WASTEFUL EXPENDITURE Irregular expenditure means expenditure incurred in contravention of, or not in accordance with, a requirement of any applicable legislation, including the PFMA. Fruitless and wasteful expenditure means expenditure that was made in vain and would have been avoided had reasonable care been exercised. All irregular and fruitless and wasteful expenditure is charged against the respective class of expenditure in the period in which they are incurred and disclosed in a note in the period that it is identified.


123

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

1.11. REVENUE RECOGNITION

1.11.1 Revenue from non-exchange transactions Revenue from non-exchange transactions refers to transactions where Construction Industry Development Board received revenue from another entity without directly giving approximately equal value in 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 liability to repay the amount. Revenue takes the form of grants from the Department of Public Works and is received on a quarterly basis and raised as revenue on receipt. 1.11.2 Revenue from exchange transactions Revenue from exchange transactions refers to revenue that accrued to the Construction Industry Development Board directly in return for services rendered, the fair value of which approximates the consideration received or receivable. Revenue from exchange transactions is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is recognised when it is probable that future economic benefits or service potential will flow to the Construction Industry Development Board and these benefits can be measured reliably. The Construction Industry Development Board receives income by way of registration of contractors in accordance with the Construction Industry Development Board Act, Act 38 of 2000. Due to the nature of the registration of contractors, the Construction Industry Development Board only recognises this income once a contractor has been assessed with the exception of administration fees. Revenue from administration fees is recognised once an application has been received by Construction Industry Development Board and is based on the grade applied for.

1.12. FINANCE INCOME Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the interest rate applicable.

1.13 LEASED ASSETS Finance leases refers to a contract that transfers the substantial risks, rewards, rights and obligations incident to ownership to the lessee and is recorded as a purchase of equipment by means of long-term borrowing. All other leases are classified as operating leases. 1.13.1 Operating Leases – expense Lease payments under an operating lease are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

1.14. Financial Instruments

A N NU A L REP OR T 2 0 10 / 1 1

1.14.1 Financial Assets Financial assets are initially measured at a fair value plus transaction cost. However, transaction costs in respect of financial assets classified as at fair value are expensed in the statement of financial performance.


124

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

1.14. Financial Instruments (continued) 1.14.1 Financial Assets (continued) - Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are subsequently measured at armortised cost. - Interest received Interest is recognised on the time apportion basis using the effective rate applicable over the period of investment. 1.14.2 Financial Liabilities Financial liabilities are initially measured as at fair value plus transaction costs. However, transaction costs in respect of financial liabilities as at fair value through profit or loss are expensed. Recognised on the statement of financial position include trade and other payables. Financial liabilities that are not designated on initial recognition as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at amortised cost. Financial liabilities that are designated on initial recognition as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value being recognised in profit or loss.

1.15. Accrual for Leave Pay Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. An accrual, based on total cost to company, is raised for the estimated liabilities as a result of services rendered by employees.

1.16. Employee Benefits Employee benefits comprise of leave entitlements, and performance bonuses. There are no post-retirement benefits currently with the Construction Industry Development Board.

1.17. Provisions, contingent assets and contingent liabilities

CO NS T RU CT IO N I N D US T RY DE VEL OP M EN T B O AR D

Provisions are recognised when Construction Industry Development Board has a present obligation as a result of past event, when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits or service potential will be required to settling the obligation when a reliable estimate can be made of the obligation 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.


125

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

1.17. Provisions, contingent assets and contingent liabilities (continued) 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 Construction Industry Development Board 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. 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 services 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. Provision is used only for expenditures for which the provision was originally recognised. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. If the Construction Industry Development Board 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 unless the possibility of an inflow/ outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.

1.18. Related parties Construction Industry Development Board 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 is defined as being individuals with the authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of Construction Industry Development Board, including those charged with the governance of the entity in accordance with legislation in instances where they are required to perform such functions. Construction Industry Development Board regards all individuals at senior management per the definition of the financial reporting standard. Close members of the family of key management personnel are considered to be those family members who may be expected to influence, or be influenced by, management in their dealings with Construction Industry Development Board. Only transactions with related parties not at arm’s length or not in the ordinary course of business are disclosed.

1.19. Cash flow Statement The cash flow statement is prepared on the direct method.

1.20. Significant Judgments and Estimates A N NU A L REP OR T 2 0 10 / 1 1

The preparation of annual financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingents assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting periods. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that Construction Industry Development Board may undertake in the future, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates.


126

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

1.20. Significant Judgments and EstimateS (continued) The presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows in the financial statements of the Construction Industry Development Board is dependant upon and sensitive to the accounting policies, assumptions and estimates that are used as a basis for the preparation of these financial statements. Management has made certain judgments in the process of applying the accounting policies. These, together with the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key resources of the estimation uncertainty at the financial position date, are discussed below: - Property,Plant and Equipment The useful lives of assets are based on management’s estimation. Management considers the impact of changes in technology, customer service requirements, availability of funding to determine the optimum useful life expectation of each individual item of property and equipment. The estimation of residual values of assets is also based on management’s judgment whether the assets will be sold and what their condition will be at that time.

Change in Accounting Estimate During the current financial period, management revised the estimated useful lives of computer equipment and office equipment to twelve years, furniture and fittings to fourteen years and computer software to ten years. In prior periods, management had estimated the useful lives of computer equipment and office equipment to be eight years, computer software to be five years and that of furniture and fittings to be ten years. The revision of these assets’ useful lives has been treated as a change in estimate in line with GRAP 3. This has resulted in adjustments to the current depreciation of R 76,055.65

31. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT The main risks arising from the cidb’s financial instruments are market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. Credit risk The cidb trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties. It is the cidb’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivables balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the cidb’s exposure to bad debts is not significant. The maximum exposure is the carrying amounts as disclosed in Note 5. There is no significant concentration of credit risk within the cidb. With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the cidb, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, the cidb’s exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. The cidb’s cash and cash equivalents are placed with high credit quality financial institutions therefore, the credit risk with respect to cash and cash equivalents is limited. Exposure to credit risk The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date from financial assets was: Cash and cash equivalents Other receivables Total

Market risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as the interest rate will affect the value of the financial assets of the cidb. Interest rate risk The cidb is exposed to interest rate changes in respect of returns on its investments with financial institutions and interest payable on finance leases contracted with outside parties. The cidb’s exposure to interest risk is managed by investing, on a short term basis, in current accounts and the call accounts.
