4. Aligning the Local Government IDP to National and Provincial performance plans Annual Report & AFS IYM Section 71& 72 Reporting Budget Finalisation /SDBIP Community Participation IDP and Budget Process plans [1] Adapted from “Framework for strategic plans and annual performance plans” published by National Treasury, 2010

5. mSCOA Aligned to MFMA Calendar: The journey to success… • Budget process: • Populate the Municipal running cost and Maintenance & repairProjects; • Functions will need to link the requiredItemsto deliver the Projects; • Align the IDP with available resources (Funding & Revenue Items ); and • Determine the Costing module and finalize tariffs. IDP process: Needs to begins with in the prescribed period from 3 August 2016. July till September October till November JanuaryTill March • Finalization of the chart • Budget Approval process • Create SDBIP based on Budget. • Community Participation: • Identify Projects (Capital and typical work streams); • Identify Regionsof these projects; and • Identify the Function that need to deliver the projects. March till June Implementing the new chart of accounts and carry over of the legacy items opening balances. Note restatements for 2018/19 year. 1 July 2017

6. IDP aligned to Project • Definition: • Roads, Pavements, Bridges and Strom Water as per Version 5.4 divided in Roads Infrastructure and Storm water Infrastructure as per CIDMS in Version 5.5. Projects relating to the renewal of existing road infrastructure assets. • You will also need to identify the asset type I.E.: • Capital Spares • Road Furniture • Road Structures • Roads Identify the Type Electricity Information and Communication Rail Road Infrastructure Sanitation Etc…. Choose Infrastructure or Non-Infrastructure And New or Renewal Capital Note: Region and Function Identify the type The list are exhaustive and contains every thing from Aids Day through to Water saving initiatives. The list cater for community upliftment programs I.E.: Capacity Building Training and Development/ ABET and Life Long Learning Programmes • Choose • Maintenance • Municipal Running Cost • Typical Work streams • Etc.. Operational . • Note: • Region and Function Not Applicable Default projects are only used for costing transactions and may therefore not be used as an escape route when planning the IDP Default Budget Process plan structure “Together we can do this”

7. Budget By Project • Cost drivers and Budgeting tools: • Organogram Budgeting; • Billing historical trends and new developments; • Asset maintenance plans; • Building rentals; • Fleet costs; • Loans, bonds and repayments; • Grants and subsidies; • Costing allocations; • Long term forecasting and tariff modelling tools; and • Etc…. • All require a system solution that build these elements from Project centric approaches while considering historical data. Identify the Items and Funding Detailed elements (Items)that will make up the project will need to be considered as well as preliminary funding sources identified on projects. IDP The IDP lists are extensive and far exceeds available resources. Functions should therefore cost the projects. Capital Note: All Segments combined. • Budget process: • Populate the Municipal running cost and Maintenance & repairProjects; • Functions will need to link the requiredItemsto deliver the Projects; • Align the IDP with available resources (Funding & Revenue Items ); and • Determine the Costing module and finalize tariffs. • . • Choose • Maintenance • Municipal Running Cost • Typical Work streams • Etc.. Operational • Note: • All segments combined. As historical budgets were not aligned with the Project driven requirements it will require system solutions to achieve the new to old retrofit. If Old = AFS and New = AFS then Old = New Taking cognizance of Reclassification Retrofit “mSCOA project since inception brought system solutions along to ensure functionality.” “Together we can do this”
