REPORT OF THE AUDITOR GENERAL ON THE AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF KALANGALA DISTRICT LOCAL GOVERNMENT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 TH JUNE, 2018

THE RT. HON. SPEAKER OF PARLIAMENT

Opinion

I have audited the Financial statements of Kalangala District Local Government which comprise the Statement of Financial Position as at 30 th June 2018, and the Statement of Financial Performance, Statement of Changes in Equity and Statement of Cash Flows together with other accompanying statements for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In my opinion, the Financial Statements of Kalangala District Local Government for the year ended 30 th June 2018 are prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with section 51 of the Public Finance Management Act, 2015 and the Local Government Financial and Accounting Manual, 2007.

Basis for Opinion

I conducted my audit in accordance with International Standards of Supreme Audit Institutions (ISSAIs). My responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of my report. I am independent of the District in accordance with the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda 1995 (as amended), the National Audit Act, 2008, the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI) Code of Ethics, the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (Parts A and B) (IESBA Code), and other independence requirements applicable to performing audits of Financial Statements in Uganda. I have fulfilled my other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the IESBA Code, and in accordance with other ethical requirements applicable to performing audits in Uganda. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion.











Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in my professional judgment, were of most significance in my audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of my audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming my opinion thereon, and I do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

I have determined the matters described below as the key audit matters to be communicated in my report.

1.0

Performance of Youth Livelihood Programme

The Youth Livelihood Programme (YLP) is a Government Programme being imple- mented under the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development (MoGLSD). The programme, which started in the financial year 2014/2015, was to respond to the existing challenge of unemployment among the Youths. The programme, which is implemented through the District provides support to the vulnerable youth in form of revolving funds for skills development projects and income generating activities initiated by youth groups. The audit focused on an amount of UGX.362,378,000 disbursed in the Financial Year 2014/2015 whose recovery period of three years had expired by 30 th June

2018. The audit procedures performed focused on ascertaining the following; Whether all funds budgeted for YLP during the period under review were actually released and used only for the program. Whether all funds advanced to the youth groups were repaid in accordance with the agreed repayment schedule and to establish reasons for failure or delays to repay the funds. Whether all funds recovered during the period under review were transferred to the revolving fund account in Bank of Uganda to be disbursed to other Youth Livelihood Groups (YLGs) in accordance with the revolving funding model and Whether on a sample basis the funded projects do exist and are operating. I made the following observations;

- Whether all funds budgeted for YLP during the period under review were actually released and used only for the program.
- Whether all funds advanced to the youth groups were repaid in accordance with the agreed repayment schedule and to establish reasons for failure or delays to repay the funds.
- Whether all funds recovered during the period under review were transferred to the revolving fund account in Bank of Uganda to be disbursed to other Youth Livelihood Groups (YLGs) in accordance with the revolving funding model and
- Whether on a sample basis the funded projects do exist and are operating. I made the following observations;

1.1

Funding of the Programme

A review of the approved budget for the YLP program revealed that the District had budgeted for UGX.228,779,000 for the financial year 2014/2015 and aA the funds were received and disbursed to the youth groups.











1.2

Non-compliance with the repayment schedule

It was observed that whereas the groups funded in 2014/2015 were expected to have repaid a total amount of UGX.228,779,000 by close of the financial year 2017/2018, only UGX.45,563,000 (20%) was collected leaving a balance of UGX.183,216,000 (80%) outstanding as shown in Appendix 1.

Failure to repay in a timely manner implies that other eligible groups were unable to access the funds since this is a revolving fund. The Accounting Officer explained that non-compliance was mainly due to migration and disappearance of some group members after receiving the funds. Besides, funds allocated for monitoring have been inadequate. However, the Ministry has increased funding for monitoring, supervision and enforcement. Accordingly, the defiant groups will be followed up to ensure recovery.

I await the outcome.

1.3 Transfer of recovered funds to the Recovery Account in BOU Review of the bank statements for the Youth Livelihood recovery account from December 2014 to 30 th June 2018 revealed that all the UGX.45,563,000 recovered was transferred to Bank of Uganda on the Recovery Account.

1.4 Inspection of performance of Youth Projects Physical inspection was carried out on two selected projects namely Kagulube Youth Development Association and Twekembe Youth Lwanabatya to ascertain whether they were being implemented in accordance with the operational guidelines. The following observations were made;

1.4.1 Kagulube Youth Development Association

This group is located in Mugoye Sub- County, Kalangala District. The group received UGX.10,800,000 in the FY 2014/15 and it was dealing in Dairy farming. The group is in existence and has a sign post. According to the treasurer, the group is struggling to repay back having only managed to settle about UGX.600,000. He further explained that the first set of heifers they purchased were not in-calf and unfortunately ended up being infertile. These were sold off. They bought a second set which they anticipate delivering by January/February 2019 and that is when they hope to resume with the repayment arrangement.











However, there were no records availed for verification. The members explained that training was not done for all the members and record keeping was not taken seriously by the few who attended a one day training which was conducted at the District.

1.4.2 Twekembe Youth Lwanabatya

This group is located in Kyamuswa Sub- County, Kalangala District. They received UGX.5,000,000 in the FY 2014/15 and they deal in silver fish. There is no signpost to confirm its location. According to one member who was interviewed, the group has so far repaid between three to four million shillings out of the five million given to them. He further explained that poor yields are one of the biggest challenges that they are facing. When the yields are good, they are in business and it is the period they use to refund some of the livelihood funds.

However, there were no records availed for verification. He further explained that initially, they were 12 members but four of them have since migrated to other islands. Currently, there are eight active members. He further explained that they do not currently have money to erect a signpost but the plan is underway.

I advised the Accounting Officer to ensure that groups are trained and also ensure that the signposts are installed by all the groups.

2.0

Implementation of the Uganda Road Fund

Section 45 (3) of the Public Finance Management Act, 2015 states that “an Accounting Officer shall enter into an annual budget performance contract with the Secretary to the Treasury which shall bind the Accounting Officer to deliver on the activities in the work plan of the vote for a Financial year, submitted under section 13 (15) of the said Act.”

Regulation 18(3) of the Local Government Financial and Accounting regulations 2007 requires budget estimates to be based on objectives to be achieved for the financial year and during implementation, effort to be made to achieve the agreed objectives or targets as per the programme of Council. It has been observed over years that planned and budgeted for activities of a number of Local Governments are not implemented thereby affecting service delivery.











During the overall office wide planning, I identified risks such as inadequate release of funds and failure to undertake budget monitoring and supervision that are likely to be the causes of failure to implement the planned activities under Uganda road fund. The focus was put on the planned major outputs under Uganda Road Fund which greatly impact on service delivery in the Local Governments.

Consequently, I developed specific audit procedures which included ascertaining whether;

- The budgeted URF releases for Local Governments for the year under review were actually received;
- The planned URF outputs were achieved;

2.1 Budget performance

Based on the procedures performed, I observed that a total of UGX.665,676,253 was budgeted to cater for routine manual maintenance, routine mechanised maintenance, periodic maintenance and emergency activities on several district roads using road gangs and the Force Account mechanism. However, the district received UGX.656,200,000(98.6%) resulting into a deficit of UGX.9,476,253. The deficit constituted 1.4% of the budgeted amount.

2.2 Status of implementation

A review of planned outputs against actual performance revealed that planned outputs were not fully achieved as shown in Appendix 2.

2.2.1 Routine Manual Maintenance

A total of 47kms at an estimated cost of UGX.290,600,000 was planned to be undertaken. However, audit revealed that 47kms(100%) were actually undertaken at a cost of UGX.113,600,000 (39%) i.e. all works done with less than half of the planed budget thereby saving UGX.177,000,000.

2.2.2 Routine Mechanised Maintenance

A total of 35kms at an estimated cost of UGX.193,274,030 was planned to be undertaken. However, audit revealed that 35kms were actually undertaken at a cost of UGX.231,000,000 i.e. 119.5% above the budget Thus UGX.32,800,000 spent above the budget on the same road distance.











Other Information

The Accounting Officer is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the statement of responsibilities of the Accounting Officer and the commentaries by the Head of Accounts and the Accounting Officer, and other supplementary information. The other information does not include the financial statements and my auditors’ report thereon. My opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and I do not express an audit opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with my audit of the financial statements, my responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially consistent with the financial statements or my knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work I have performed, I conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information; I am required to report that fact. I have nothing to report in this regard.

Management Responsibilities for the Financial Statements

Under Article 164 of the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda, 1995 (as amended) and Section 45 of the Public Finance Management Act, 2015, the Accounting Officer is accountable to Parliament for the funds and resources of Kalangala District Local Government.

The Accounting Officer is also responsible for the preparation of financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Local Governments Financial and Accounting Manual, 2007 and the Public Finance Management Act 2015 and for such internal control as management determines necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the Accounting Officer is responsible for assessing the District’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting, unless the unless the Accounting Officer has a realistic alternative to the contrary.

The Accounting Officer is responsible for overseeing the District’s financial reporting process.

Auditor General’s Responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Statements My objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes my opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,











but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISSAIs will always detect a material misstatement, when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users, taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISSAIs, I exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. I also:-

- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If I conclude that a material uncertainty exists, I am required to draw attention in my auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify my opinion. My conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of my auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

I communicate with the Accounting Officer regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that I identify during my audit.











I also provide the Accounting Officer with a statement that I have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on my independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the Accounting Officer, I determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. I describe these matters in my auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, I determine that a matter should not be communicated in my report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Other Reporting Responsibilities

In accordance with Section 19 (1) of the National Audit Act, 2008, I report to you, based on my work described on the audit of Financial Statements, that:

Except for the matters raised in compliance with legislation section below, and whose effect has been considered in forming my opinion on financial statements, the activities, financial transactions and information reflected in the financial statements that have come to my notice during the audit, are in all material respects, in compliance with the authorities which govern them.

REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF COMPLIANCE WITH LEGISLATION

The material findings in respect of the compliance criteria for the applicable subject matters are as follows;

3.0 Natural Resources

A review of management of natural resources in form of land, forests reserves and wetlands in the districts during the audit of the financial year the following: 3.1 Lack of a Land register for wetlands

2017/2018 revealed

Section 45 (1) of the Uganda Land Act,1998 as emended states that a government or local government shall hold in trust for the people and protect natural lakes, rivers, ground water, natural ponds, natural streams ,wetlands ,forest reserves, national parks and any other land reserved for ecological and touristic purposes for the common good of the citizens of Uganda.











A review of records availed for audit indicates that the land register for wetlands was not being maintained. Lack of a land register for the wetlands under identification, monitoring and enforcement on wetlands difficult. The Accounting Officer acknowledged the observation.

The Accounting Officer should put in place a land register for the wetlands. 3.2

Unlicensed activities on Natural Resources

Section 36 of the National Environment Management Act, 1995 provides for restrictions on the use of wetlands and requires a person to obtain written approval from the authority given in consultation with the lead agency. It was observed that the district does not have a register of the licenses issued for activities carried out on gazetted wetlands. Audit inspection revealed that there were a number of irregular activities carried out on various wetlands and forests. These included settlement, cultivation and tree cutting as shown in Appendix 3. The continued undertaking of these practices on the natural resources will continue to have adverse effects on the environment like climate change and unbalanced eco system. The Accounting Officer explained that, management has embarked on massive awareness campaigns to sensitize communities on wise use of environment and Natural Resources, abusers are being apprehended through litigation and restoration activities such as tree planting are being done.

I advised the Accounting to open a register of licenses for all activities carried out on gazetted natural resources to enable easy identification, monitoring and enforcement.

4.0

Non –functional Physical Planning Committee

Part III Section 9 of the Physical Planning Act, 2010 outlines the functions of a district physical planning committee as follows— a) To cause to be prepared local physical development plans, through its officers, agents or any qualified physical planners; b) To recommend to the Board development applications for change of land use; c) To recommend to the district council subdivision of land which may have a significant impact on contiguous land or be in breach of any condition registered against a title deed in respect of such land.











d) to approve development applications relating to housing estates, industrial location, schools, petrol stations, dumping sites or sewerage treatment, which may have injurious impact on the environment as well as applications in respect of land adjoining or within a reasonable vicinity of safeguarding areas; e) To hear appeals lodged by persons aggrieved by decisions made by the district physical planner and lower local physical planning committees under this Act; f) To ensure the integration of physical planning into the three year integrated development plan of the district; g) To exercise supervisory powers over all lower planning committees; h) To ensure integration of social, economic and environmental plans into the physical development plans. However, contrary to the above; the District did not have a functional Physical Planning Committee in place. Lack of the committee denies council of the requisite guidance on physical planning and the functions enumerated above.

The Accounting Officer acknowledged the finding and explained that the District Physical Planning Committee is yet to be operationalized.

I advised the Accounting Officer to expedite the process of operationalizing the committee.

5.0 Capitation Grant

An audit carried out on the sampled Schools in the Distrcit revealed the following matters; 5.1 Under funding of Kibanga Primary School Section 1.3 of the UPE Capitation Grant Guidelines, May 2007 requires Government to pay annual tuition fees for all pupils only in Government Aided Schools amounting to fixed grant and variable grant computed accordingly. The fixed grant is UGX.1,350,000 per school and the variable grant is UGX.10,000 per pupil. According to the average enrolment of 711 pupils, the school would receive capitation grant amounting to UGX.7,037,978. However, UGX.5,398,868 was received leading to a shortfall of UGX.3,061,132.











This could be attributed to releases made regardless of actual enrolment. Underfunding of UPE schools adversely affect service delivery leading to poor academic performance of schools.

The Accounting Officer explained that, by the time of budgeting the enrolment of Kibanga PS was 562; but with time the enrolment of school kept on fluctuating due to the migratory tendencies of fishing communities.

I advised the Accounting Officer to engage the Ministry of Education to review the funding so that it is based on actual enrolment.

6.0

Poor Condition of Medical Equipment

Section 5.17.4 of the Health Sector Service Standards & Service Delivery Standards, 2016 requires a health facility to ensure that there is an inventory of all medical equipment updated according to the policy/guidelines.

Audit inspection of the inventory of medical equipment revealed that the available medical equipment in Kalangala and Bukasa Health Centre IVs, are insufficient in number, need replacement as they have become old and others are not in existence as shown in Appendix 4. Consequently, patients are referred to distant Facilities to receive the same services putting their lives at risk. However, management did not provide explanation to this finding.

I advised the Accounting Officer to liaise with the Ministry of Health to address the matter.

7.0 Failure to maintain prescribed records of road equipment Paragraph 2.2 (b), (d) & (e) of the guidelines for care and management of road equipment in government ministries, departments and agencies, by ministry of works and transport 2017, prescribe specific documents to be kept by Local Governments in the management of road equipment and vehicles. The records include plant and equipment register, maintenance and repair history records, Safe Work Procedures (SWP) for each type of road equipment among others.

It was observed that the District has a fleet of road equipment as shown in appendix 5.











Contrary to the above requirement, the management of Kalangala District did not maintain the road equipment records. Lack of equipment records weakens controls on road equipment. The Accounting Officer acknowledged the shortcoming.

I advised the Accounting Officer to ensure that road equipment records are established in accordance with the guidelines.
