Munsoft Matters: Sign-off of the Section71 and Conditional Grants for the Fourth Quarter ended 30 June 2023

 Dear Munsoft Client,
 
Kindly take note of below communication sent by National Treasury for attention to the 2023 Financial Year data tables. The respective provincial data tables have been sent by National Treasury and Provincial Treasury separately.
 
“The Municipal Manager and the CFO of your municipality are kindly requested to sign the figures off for audit purposes. The signed documents must be uploaded on the GoMuni Upload portal by 12:00 on Monday, 31 July 2023.
 
The municipal financial information in the Section 71 publication (for the financial and grant performance) is sourced from mSCOA data strings submitted by the municipalities to the GoMuni Upload portal.  The credibility and accuracy of the data strings had to be verified by municipalities prior to submission to the GoMuni Upload portal.  Since the financial system must be locked at the end of the month in order to generate a mSCOA data string, municipalities may not open closed periods to correct errors.  The manual correction of data strings by municipal officials or system vendors are also not allowed in terms of the mSCOA Regulations.
 
NB: Please note that the grant spending numbers contained in column Q relates to expenditure as reported by municipalities.  The national and provincial spending figures are collected from the transferring officers themselves.  Municipalities who wish to dispute the figures should contact the transferring officers directly.
                
Municipalities are also reminded to upload the borrowing and investment monitoring data strings (BM and IM). Nil reports should also be signed and uploaded on GoMuni.
 
Service delivery performance information must be submitted in terms of MFMA Circular No. 88.
 
The GoMuni Upload portal has been closed and no further data string submissions for the fourth quarter of 2022/23 will be accepted.
