Organisational Overview

ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13 ROAD TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT AGENCY4

Organisational overviewFrom its founding Act, the Road Traf c Infringement Agency was envisaged to play a critical role in forging a closer, more effective and ef cient link between the enforcement role played by the various Issuing Authorities and adjudication processes. RTIA was set up to play the role of an independent adjudicator, overseeing and enforcing the provisions of the Act in compliance with road traf c laws, as well as inculcating a new habit of voluntary compliance through community educational and awareness programmes. In this regard, the Agency is mandated to ensure the implementation of an objective, transparent and fair administrative adjudication process.

Mandate and FunctionsThe RTIA derives its mandate and functions from the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traf c Offences Act, 1998 (Act No. 46 of 1998), herein-after referred to as the AARTO Act, which states that the objects of the Agency are, despite the Criminal Procedure Act, 1977 (Act No. 51 of 1977):

(a) to encourage compliance with the national and provincial laws and municipal by-laws relating to road traf c and to promote road traf c safety;

(b) to encourage the payment of penalties imposed for infringements and to allow alleged minor infringers to make representations;

(c) to establish a procedure for the effective and expeditious adjudication of infringements;

(d) to alleviate the burden on the courts of trying offenders for infringements;

(e) to penalise drivers and operators who are guilty of infringements or offences through the imposition of demerit points leading to the suspension and cancellation of driving licences, professional driving permits or operator cards;

(f) to reward law-abiding behaviour by reducing demerit points where they have been incurred if infringements or offences are not committed over speci ed periods;

(g) to establish an agency to support the law enforcement and judicial authorities and to undertake the administrative adjudication process; and

(h) strengthen co-operation between the prosecuting and law enforcement authorities by establishing a Board to govern the agency.

Whereas all matters related to traf c violations were previously dealt with under the CPA, the establishment of the Agency and the full implementation of the AARTO Act, means that most of the traf c violations will be dealt with administratively. This is expected to help free the courts and judicial authorities to deal with more serious criminal matters.

Statement by Chairpersonof the board

ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13 ROAD TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT AGENCY10

Statement by Chairperson of the BoardBackgroundThe Road Traf c Infringement Agency was established by section 3 of the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traf c Offences Act, 1998 and in the continuation of its operations, sought to achieve its legislated mandate through the effective implementation of the AARTO Act, which is geared towards the increment of road safety and the goals of the “Decade of Action for Road Safety” targets.

The RTIA is now in its third year of operations and has made commendable progress towards full implementation of the AARTO Act. In addition to on-going work to establish its administrative support structures at head of ce in Midrand and hire suitable skills, the Agency has since taken over most of the interim functions previously carried out by Road Traf c Management Corporation (RTMC) and is in process to conclude service level agreements with the various Issuing Authorities. These agreements provide a critical link between the enforcement functions of the Issuing Authorities and the adjudication role of the Agency. This report elaborates on the activities of the Agency for the year.

Solvency and Going ConcernIt is pleasing to report that the Agency has obtained an unquali ed audit opinion for the second year running. The Board and management have worked hard to ensure that the control environment improves each year as this helps to lay a rm foundation on which to build a sustainable business.

Without qualifying his opinion, the Auditor-General repeated his concerns about the solvency and going concern status of the Agency. This concern is fully shared by the Board and management and stems from the chronic underfunding of the Agency from the beginning. The nancial statements that accompany this report show a signi cant impairment of accounts receivables. The main reason for this state of affairs is that it has taken unduly too long to regularise the transfer of revenue received through the RTMC managed bank accounts as well the problems that arise when reconciling these amounts. The impairment charge amounted to R 31 million and relates to disputed amounts due by the Issuing Authorities. The Agency cannot afford this level of impairment and were it not for the year end “virement” amounting to R 14 million by the Department of Transport, it would have reported a substantial loss. To prevent a recurrence of this situation, it is necessary to resolve the issue of the transfer of AARTO accounts so that these fall under the direct control of the RTIA without further delay. Management has committed to engaging with all parties in order to urgently resolve this matter.

The Board is still concerned about the future nancial sustainability of the Agency as its present funding levels fall far short of the approved business plan. Despite this, the Board believes that the strategies put together by management will provide a sound footing and should help to ensure the Agency operates viably over the short term. It is for this reason that the nancial statements of the Agency were prepared on a going concern basis.

Ms Nomini RapooChairperson: RTIA Board

ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13 ROAD TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT AGENCY

The Board and management are committed to implementing plans to increase the collection of outstanding infringement revenue in order to ensure the future sustainability of the Agency. As part of these plans, the Agency has engaged National Treasury and the Department of Transport in discussions to resolve its short, medium and long-term funding requirements. Without suf cient funding, the Agency will take unduly too long to roll out its operations to the rest of the country.

The Board is con dent that Management is working hard to build the required capacity to enable the Agency to begin the much-anticipated roll-out of the AARTO to all provinces in the upcoming nancial year. Pursuant to this, the Agency remains committed to working very closely with all its stakeholders, including government departments, labour, business and the broader community in making its contribution towards ensuring a safe road transport environment in the current Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) period.

GovernanceThe Board, as the custodian of corporate governance is committed to sound governance principles and to ensuring an effective control environment. However for the past two years the Board has been operating under serious capacity challenges, where in terms of the AARTO Act it is supposed to be comprised of seven members but has instead been operating with four members for the majority of the period under review. This challenge meant that Board Members could not be distributed effectively to the sub committees. To address this, the Board has made use of non-member experts to augment its sub-committee membership.

In line with our commitment to continuous performance improvement, the Board commissioned a Board Evaluation process whose outcomes were used to implement various remedial interventions to ensure that we operate in line with best practice. Consequently, the RTIA has formed strategic partnerships with key stakeholders in preparation for a successful launch of road user and community education and awareness programmes in the upcoming nancial year. This programme is geared at ensuring that road users understand the AARTO and its objectives, as well as their obligations and rights as set out in the AARTO Act, towards ensuring a safe environment in the country. This undertaking and commitment is based on the conviction that the more educated and empowered the general community is about the AARTO and its objectives, the greater its contribution and active engagement towards achieving these objectives.

Challenges experiencedThe critical challenges faced during the period under review continued to relate to:

• inadequate funding which is cross-cutting on the Agency’s operations;

• mandate overlap with other entities, which negatively impacts the Agency’s ability to effectively implement its statutory functions; and

• lack of credible systems to ensure data integrity of all the entity’s operations.

The Board and management considered these challenges and implemented an intervention plan to address them effectively. Those challenges that were in the ambit of the Agency’s control were effectively dealt with, whereas those outside its scope were brought to the attention of the relevant role-players to assist in addressing them. The Board is optimistic that the remaining challenges will be effectively dealt with by the Shareholder in order to free the Agency to focus on delivering on its mandate.

ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13 ROAD TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT AGENCY12

On behalf of the Board, I wish to thank the former Minister of Transport Mr Dikobe Ben Martins for his leadership and support. Allow me to also extend a warm welcome to our new Minister, Ms Dipuo Peters and assure her of our commitment to continued good performance. With her leadership and that of our Deputy Minister, Ms Sindisiwe Chikunga, we are assured of an excellent and dynamic team, who will lead the Agency and the whole transport sector to greater heights. My sincerest gratitude to the Registrar and his management team and staff of the Agency, who, in spite of these seemingly insurmountable challenges have kept their focus towards the Agency’s deliverables.

Strategic Overview

ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13 ROAD TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT AGENCY14

Section 1: Strategic Overview

BackgroundThis being the third year of operations for the Agency, tremendous progress has been made in entrenching its operations from establishment, in spite of the continuing challenges experienced from inception and in particular, the insuf cient funding in terms of the government grant allocation of R5 million which falls far short of requirements.

As a direct result of under-funding and in a bid to contain escalating costs, the Board decided to suspend the South African Post Of ce account through which the Agency served courtesy letters and enforcement orders. Instead, management devoted more time to data cleaning so as to improve the integrity of the records on the National Contraventions Register (NCR), in respect of off-line payments that were not uploaded thereto.

This change of focus enabled the Agency to undertake the capturing of the payment records made and not updated. Without the updating on the NCR, courtesy letters and enforcement orders would have had to be processed and served on infringers who had already paid, thereby resulting in fruitless expenditure. At the beginning of the updating project, a total of 107 000 payments were made via the offline platforms (eg. Standard Bank account), with a value of R207 million and of these, a total of 79 440 transactions with a value of R149 million were updated onto the NCR, which represented a considerable improvement to the records system.

In order to fund its operations, the Agency relied on the revenue portion accruing to it from the road traf c infringement activities of the implementing authorities in the Tshwane and Johannesburg municipal jurisdictions. Having consistently engaged the Department for additional funding, the Agency was allocated a further R 14 million as a ‘virement’ at the end of the nancial year. This amount was critical and helped to offset a potential loss arising from an impairment charge that had to be made this year.

Audit PerformanceFor the second consecutive year, the Agency has achieved excellent performance with a resounding con rmation of this in the form of an unquali ed opinion from the Auditor-General. This tremendous achievement was a result of proactive measures in the form of establishing and implementing an internal system of control to ensure good governance and ef cient performance. The Board and management made a rm commitment to entrench the practise of fair, transparent and good governance in all its operations and sought to further entrench its excellent audit performance. This excellent performance was achieved through proactively engaging with the process of developing new measures to augment the internal system of control implemented.

Casting it’s eyes towards enhanced future performance, the Agency recognises that the NCR was developed as a module of the eNaTIS and is the preferred strategic system providing the backbone of the RTIA’s operations, however, given its system’s architecture, the information technology needs of the RTIA with respect to the NCR cannot be fully addressed through the NCR on eNaTIS and thus the Board is developing a long-term strategy of establishing its own independent NCR in order to fully and efficiently support the AARTO implementation and the connectivity of all stakeholders across the country. This will enable the Agency to be in complete control of its environment, as well as providing reliable, credible data on a real-time, on-line basis to be used as an effective decision support mechanism.

GovernanceThe Board operated for the majority of the period with inadequate membership. Whereas the Act provides for seven Board members, the Agency operated for the majority of the time with only four members. This led to a challenge in terms of the required skills and capacity for effective governance and stretched the remaining members to ensure effectiveness in the exercise of their duciary duties. Having brought this to the attention of the Shareholder, the Agency is hopeful to achieve its full complement of Board members in the upcoming nancial year.

Pursuant to good governance and in spite of the dif culties faced, the Board had implemented innovations to address the capacitation challenges it faced, by augmenting it’s support structures with the appointment of additional, highly skilled members of its sub-committees, thereby ensuring that the resultant gaps in governance structures were adequately addressed.

In addition, for effective performance, the Board and management have been engaging interactively in assessing the Agency’s operational environment and challenges and to that extent, submitted an amended Strategic Plan and Annual Performance Plan for approval by the Minister. These amended plans had taken due cognisance of the continuing challenges experienced and provided a practical estimation of performance and approved by the Minister. The related information is provided under section 6 on performance information.

State of Road User ComplianceThe statistics provided in Section 4: Infringements Performance Report, are in accordance with the data captured in the NCR provided by the eNaTIS contractor and uploaded thereto by the issuing authorities currently implementing AARTO. Some of these are briefly summarised below.

• The total number of AARTO Infringement Notices served in the Tshwane and Johannesburg jurisdictional areas increased by 2 052 508 (114.82%) from 1 787 517 in the previous year to 3 839 925 notices in the 2012-2013 period. These numbers include an increase of 86 595 (10.33%) in hand written AARTO 01 Notices to 924 629; an increase of 1 487 687 (244.14%) in AARTO 03 Notices to 2 097 043 and a decrease of 7 685 (7.68%) in Notices to operators to 92 433. The total value of the notices served amounted to R1 925 084 500.00.

• Of the total notices served, 58.73% were to drivers of light passenger vehicles; 7.46% to drivers of heavy passenger vehicles (including midi-buses and buses); 13.33% to drivers of light load vehicles (LDV’s) and 1.26% to truck drivers.

• Notices served for vehicle registration and licencing infringements increased by 53 175 (47%) from 112 413 during the previous year to 165 588 during the 2012-2013 nancial year. Notices served for vehicle tyre infringements increased by 6 177 (15%) from 40 481 to 46 658 and notices for general vehicle roadworthiness infringements increased by 15 243 (21%) from 71 367 to 86 610.

ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13 ROAD TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT AGENCY16

• Notices for road sign, traf c signal and road marking infringements increased by 21 149 (10%) from 214 478 to 235 627 and for rules of the road and driving signal infringement by 151 828 (105%) from 144 077 to 295 905. Notices for speed infringement increased by 1 521 164 (232%) from 655 121 to 2 176 285.

• The number of Courtesy Letters served decreased from 1 039 426 the previous year to 469 466 during 2012-2013. This is as a direct result of the decision to curb the related expenditure, in part due to the lack of integrity in the address validations, as well as the lack of con rmation of service of infringement notices as provided for in the Act.

• The number of Enforcement Orders served increased from 9 826 to 90 214 during the rst four months of the 2012-2013 period. Due to the high cost to serve Courtesy Letters and Enforcement Orders by registered mail and very tight nancial constraints experienced by the Agency at the time, the RTIA Board at its meeting held on 25 July 2012 resolved that the serving of letters and orders be suspended until such time as the nancial situation of the Agency improved.

• The number of Representations adjudicated increased by 459 (1.33%) from 34 410 in 2011-2012 to 34 869 in 2012-2013 of which 15 261 (43.77%) were successful and 19 608 (56.23%) were un-successful and rejected.

• The total number of Elections submitted to be tried in court increased by 48 208 (209.52%) from a total of 23 009 during 2011-2012 to a total of 71 217 during 2012-2013.

• A total of 481 801 infringements were paid for an amount of R143 185 321.00. This shows a payment rate of 7.44% on the value of infringements captured. This rate of payment does not determine the compliance rate to road traf c laws, since the AARTO process entails 5 distinct options that can be exercised by infringers, including the payment of the infringement where applicable. Other options exercised by the infringer, such as submission of successful representations, means that the infringement is cancelled and the infringer is not held accountable, resulting in the infringement and the penalty value being nulli ed. Furthermore, the report shows a gradual decreased payment rate from 1.78% during Infringement Notice stage, 1.51% at Courtesy Letter stage, to an increased rate of 4.15% at Enforcement Order stage.

At this stage, it is dif cult to determine the actual level of compliance in terms of payments of outstanding infringement notices due to challenges related to systems’ interfaces with the NCR, and some platforms not uploading the payments thereto. Furthermore, the inability to automatically upload and update the NCR often results in Courtesy Letters and Enforcement Orders being issued for infringement notices that have already being paid. This negatively impacts on the Agency’s costs as the expenditure for the serving of Courtesy Letters and Enforcement Orders would have been incurred by the Agency but becomes irrecoverable. There is an additional reputational risk for the Agency and all role-players involved in the AARTO process itself which is being addressed through consultations with the critical stakeholders. In addition, there will be a full audit on the system so as to remedy shortcomings during the 2013/2014 nancial year.

Legislative FrameworkDuring the period under review, tremendous effort was put into nalising the amendments to the AARTO Act and the Regulations. The Amendment Bill was published in Government Gazette Number 36173 dated 20 February 2013, inviting comments from the public and interested stakeholders. After a 30 day period of publication, the comments were to be considered and the nal Amendment Bill submitted to Parliament for promulgation after approval by the Minister, which is now scheduled for the 2013/14 period.

The essential elements entailed in the Amendment Bill are geared at addressing operational challenges experienced, as well as curbing the exorbitant expenditure costs related to the service of documents and providing textual clarity to the administrative and judicial processes relating to offences and infringements. Some of the aspects envisaged in the Amendment bill include the following:

• deletion of the distinction between “minor” and “major” infringements;

• enabling the Agency to administer rehabilitation programmes for habitual infringers, including but not limited to driver retesting, compulsory community service at road accident trauma wards in public hospitals or state mortuaries for victims of road accidents;

• increase in the number of Board members;

• textual clarity in relation to the service of documents;

• amendment of certain sections to provide clarity between the administrative and judicial processes;

• the introduction of electronic service of documents in addition to the traditional methods of registered mail and personal service; and

• clari cation of the initiation process of serving documents for categorised offences.

The second process of the legislative framework entailed the development of the Regulations Amendments, which are aligned to the envisaged Amendment Bill and provides further details on their operational mechanisms.

ConclusionThe Agency’s excellent performance for the period under review came about in the face of tremendous challenges. The achievements that we report on could not have been attained were it not for the strong belief, conviction, dedication and an unrelenting focus by a multi-disciplinary team of competent people, who comprise of the Board, management and staff of the Agency. I wish to express my sincerest gratitude to all of you for your loyalty and commitment to make a positive contribution towards the attainment of the road safety goals and effective dispense of our mandate. My appreciation, deepest respect and admiration are to the Board of the RTIA, both present and past, for the sterling contribution to the Agency’s governance and continued critical inputs, guidance and leadership. In particular, my sincerest gratitude to the Chairperson of the Board, Ms Nomini Rapoo, for her leadership, sharp guidance and critical input. To the rest of the staff, indeed, we continue with our relentless focus and dedication to achieve the vision of a better future for our country and together, we shall succeed!

I wish to express my deepest respect, admiration and gratitude to our former Minister, Mr Ben Dikobe Martins for his sterling leadership and support. Having come at a time when the Agency’s morale was at its lowest, your interventions and support strengthened our resolve to continue dispensing our mandate effectively. I would be remiss not to express my appreciation to the Portfolio Committee on Transport for their support and empathy to the cause of the Agency in meeting its road safety mandate.

ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13 ROAD TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT AGENCY18

Lastly I wish to express our excitement in welcoming the new Minister of Transport, Ms Dipuo Peters and assure her of our best cooperation and commitment to ef cient performance at all times. With the continued dynamic leadership, dedication and active support from you and Deputy Minister Ms Sindisiwe Chikunga, you can rest assured of the Agency’s tremendous improvement, ef cient performance and the successful achievement of the goals of “The Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011 – 2020” and beyond, to render a safe environment for all our road users.

Corporate Governance andManagement

ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13 ROAD TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT AGENCY20

Section 2: Corporate Governance and ManagementThe RTIA is a schedule 3A public entity as de ned in terms of the PFMA and is the Agency envisaged by the AARTO Act. It is a wholly state owned entity with the Minister of Transport acting as the political principal and shareholder and charged with the responsibility of overseeing the Agency.

The RTIA is committed to ensuring full compliance with the AARTO Act, King III Report on Corporate Governance, the provisions of the Public Finance Management Act, 1999, as well as governance and compliance directives from the Department of Transport and National Treasury.

The Board of the RTIA is responsible for directing the entity towards the achievement of the set vision and mission. The Board is therefore accountable for the development and execution of the Agency’s strategy, performance and nancial results as well as being the custodian of corporate governance.

The role of the members of the Board is to bring independent judgment and experience to the deliberations and decisions at the strategic level. In line with international best practice, the Chairperson is a non-executive director and is therefore not involved in the day-to-day management of the entity which is delegated to the executive team, led by the Registrar.

In terms of established governance processes, the Registrar and the Board develop strategic and performance plans for approval by the Minister in accordance with the PFMA and the AARTO Act. The strategic plan has key strategic objectives and deliverables. The Minister assesses the achievement of these objectives on a quarterly basis through the annual performance plan and this helps to keep the Minister fully informed of the progress, performance and the challenges the Agency encounters.

Governance StructuresBoard of Directors The Board of the Agency is the Accounting Authority. The current Board was appointed in August 2010 and is in its third year of existence.

In terms of AARTO Act, the Board is comprised of ve (5) non-executive directors, one (1) ex of cio member (Director of Public Prosecution) and the Registrar. The current Board comprises three (3) non-executive directors and one (1) executive director, namely the Registrar and has had a resignation of one (1) member. This means that there is a vacancy of three (3) members. As the Chairperson is not a member of any of the subcommittees, there is a problem of capacity when lling sub-committee positions from the present compliment of non-executive directors.

This issue is of concern and has been brought to the attention of the Shareholder and the Agency hope to achieve a full complement of directors without further delays which can be attributed to the appointment process.

The Board is responsible for governance and it’s duties include approving the strategic plan and presenting it to the Minster, monitoring and assessing management performance, and acting as a resource for management in matters of planning and policy. The duciary duties and other general duties of the Board are set out in the PFMA. The Board is governed by a formal written Board Charter which sets out its duties and responsibilities.

The Board has reserved, amongst others, the following powers for itself:

• approval and monitoring of the implementation of the strategic plan;

• determination of the overall policies and processes to ensure the integrity of RTIA’s management of risk and internal controls; and

ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13 ROAD TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT AGENCY

21

• approval of all policies in the organisation, save for instances where it has delegated some of those approvals to management.

The Board has devolved the responsibility of running the day-to-day affairs of the Agency to the Registrar. This is done through written delegations of authority.

Board Members• Ms NE Rapoo - Non-Executive Chairperson

• Mr JR Chuwe - Registrar & Executive Director

• Adv. TE Dicker - Non-Executive Director

• Mr IS Jordaan - Non-Executive Director (resigned 26 July 2012)

• Mr CM Manzini - Non-Executive Director

Board Subcommittees Speci c responsibilities have been delegated to the committees of the Board, with full access to independent advice at the RTIA expense. The Board has two (2) subcommittees, namely: the Audit and Risk Committee and the Technical Committee. These subcommittees assist the Board in discharging its duties and responsibilities and they follow the guidelines of King III. There is full transparency of the subcommittees’ deliberations and their decisions are communicated to the Board through subcommittee reports to each Board meeting.

The work of the subcommittees was severely hampered for most of the year by the lack of a quorum and owing to delays in the appointments process which saw additional committee members being con rmed only after the AGM in November 2012.

The Audit and Risk Committee Committee members:

• Mr B Chaplog

• Ms S Thomas

• Mr C Manzini

This Committee is chaired by Mr Bryan Chaplog and it assists the Board in the discharge of its duties and responsibilities relating to the Audit and Risk functions.

Board Evaluation ProcessDuring the nancial year under review, the Board introduced a formal evaluation of its effectiveness and to assist with the process, it appointed Cheziya Consulting to conduct an independent evaluation and to make recommendations for improvement. This task was completed on time and the results were presented to the Shareholder and major ndings were also used to assist the Board in addressing areas of weaknesses in its performance and to come up with remedial interventions where required. As such, the Board has implemented various remedial interventions during the period under review. These included ensuring that every Board Member is now fully registered with the Institute of Directors for enhancing its members’ development. The Agency will continue to identify areas requiring ongoing education and development for its existing and new members.

The structure when fully implemented should enable the Agency to roll out its services throughout the country over the MTEF funding cycle of three years. So far, the Agency has not received suf cient funding to enable it to open sub-of ces at provincial or regional level as is envisaged by the approved plan. As the Agency acquires the related budgetary support, it will be able to ll the approved positions in the structure, and anticipates achieving this by the 2014/15 period.

Human Resource Overview

ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13 ROAD TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT AGENCY30

Section 3: Human Resources OverviewFor the year under review, the Agency started with 22 staff and increased its complement by 16 (72%) to a total of 38. Due to budgetary constraints, a cautious but phased human capital acquisition approach was adopted. Eight staff was appointed on a short-term contract basis in order to deal with the data clean-up of the National Contravention Register (NCR) in relation to off-line payments that were not uploaded, as well as the debt collection of infringement amounts due to the Agency.

Two managers, whose duties are directly related to the Agency’s mandate, were transferred from the Road Traf c Management Corporation to the Agency, thereby increasing the Agency’s capacity to perform its functions. The total staff compliment of 38 at year end resulted in a total of 37 (49%) under-capacitation for the Agency when compared to the target of 75 as set out in the approved plans. The tables that follow present a breakdown of staff by race and gender in relation to a number of measures and perspectives as required by the Employment Equity Act.

Infringements Performance Report

ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13 ROAD TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT AGENCY40

Section 4: Infringements Performance Report OverviewThe administrative adjudication role of the RTIA is derived from the AARTO Act, in facilitating the exercise of the ve options available to road users once they have been issued with a Notice of an offence and the relevant infringement has been recorded on the NCR.

For the 2012/13 period under review, the following statistics are derived from the National Contraventions Register (NCR), and are based on the records captured and uploaded thereto by the Issuing Authorities of Johannesburg (JMPD); Tshwane (TMPD); the Gauteng Department of Community Safety (GDOCS) and the Road Traf c Management Corporation (RTMC).

These Notices, as shown in the table below, are based on actual entries that were captured on the NCR from 1 April 2012 to 31 March 2013.

Courtesy LettersSection 19 of the principal Act provides for the issuing and service of Courtesy Letters after the infringer had failed to exercise any of the options provided for in the rst phase of 32 days from being served with an Infringement Notice by the Issuing Authorities. The table below represents the total number of Courtesy Letters that were created and served on infringers from 1 April 2012 to 31 March 2013 in comparison with the same period the previous nancial year. When reading this information, it is important to note that there is an over-flow of infringements from the previous year into the current and also into the next and this is due to a time lag of up to two months, between the event occurring and its subsequent capture on the system.

Representations AdjudicatedBased on the statistical analysis of compliance stemming from the Criminal Procedure Act processes, the Agency had projected an average of 5% of all infringement notices issued would result in representations. During the year, there were 34 869 representations adjudicated, which when compared to 3 839 925 Infringement Notices issued, is less than 1%. The lower than expected result is partly due to systems challenges and the need for more road user education about their rights.

ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13 ROAD TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT AGENCY114

The Agency experienced disruptions in the service of Infringement Notices following an outbreak of industrial action at SAPO during the year. The main effect of this action was to slow down the flow of mail and when this happens, there is an increase in the numbers of Representations received as well as wide fluctuations in the flow of work for the Representation Of cers. The Agency is putting together alternative arrangements to deal with this risk.

The NCR has undergone tremendous changes towards a seamless adjudication process. This includes timely status updates that improved the quality of adjudication. The adjudication framework was further developed in line with the AARTO Act and regulations and included aspects relating to various categories of outcomes.

It is expected that, with the national rollout of AARTO and the implementation of the Point Demerit System (PDS) during the next nancial year, the volumes of Representations will increase and appropriate measures will be put in place to cope with the workload.

Elections to be tried in CourtIn terms of sections 17(1)(f)(iv) or 18(7) of the principal Act, an infringer may elect to be tried in court on the charge of having committed the infringement(s) as stated on the Infringement Notice. These elections are submitted to the Issuing Authority who issued the Infringement Notice and are also captured on the NCR. The table below represents the total number of Elections to be Tried in Court that were captured on the NCR for the period 1 April 2012 to 31 March 2013 in comparison with the elections captured for the same months during the previous nancial year.

Due to the timeframes provided in the AARTO process, these elections are not all strictly applicable to the nancial year during which the Infringement Notices were issued. The elections submitted in the rst two months of a nancial year, could typically stem from Infringement Notices issued during the previous nancial year and similarly, elections submitted in the last two months of a nancial year may only be captured during the following nancial year.

Collection of Infringement RevenueThe total infringement payments made amounted to R 143 185 321, of which R 49 011 052 (34.23%) accrued to the Agency. This is an increase of R 20 431 189 (71.49%) from the R 28 579 863 million collected during the 2011-2012 nancial year.

The total notional value of infringements captured on the NCR at 31 March 2012 amounted to R980 million and this rose to R1.9 billion at 31 March 2013. This amount includes:

• Potentially invalid infringements. Incorrectly issued infringements are nulli ed via the adjudications process. It is important to note that there is a high possibility of the value of infringements decreasing due to the high percentage of successful representations (43.77% in 2013);

ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13 ROAD TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT AGENCY 127

• Incomplete information is uploaded onto the NCR in some instances. As a result, the outstanding infringements are potentially overstated;

• Unmatched payments not uploaded onto the eNaTIS result in infringements being reflected as outstanding whereas they have already been settled; and

• Incorrect contact details of infringers on the eNaTIS can lead to the Agency not being able to contact the infringers. As a result the outstanding infringements will remain uncollected for a signi cant period.

Percentage of Payments made within various Time FramesThe graph below reflects the percentage (%) of infringements paid during 2012-2013 within the various time frames provided for in the AARTO process.

The information in the graph indicates that:

• The percentage (%) of infringements paid within a period of 32 days from the date that the infringement notice was served range from 5.07% in April 2012 to 2.58% in March 2013 with an average of 4.13% per month. July 2012 was the highest with 5.86% and January 2013 the lowest with 2.10%.

• The percentage (%) of infringements paid in the courtesy letter stage, which is from 33 days up to 64 days from the date that the infringement notice was served, range from 2.89% in April 2012 to 2.17% in March 2013 with an average of 2.74% per month. July 2012 was the highest with 5.34% and January 2013 the lowest with 1.26%.

• The percentage (%) of infringements paid in the enforcement order stage that is after 64 days from the date that the infringement notice was served, range from 9.10% in April 2012 to 3.80% in March 2013 with an average of 7.96% per month. July 2012 was the highest with 16.53% and January 2013 the lowest with 3.03%.

The possible main reason for the improved payment rate after 64 days is that no vehicle licence disc in respect of any of the vehicles of the infringer and no driving licence or professional driving permit will be issued until the infringement has been paid.

Section 5: Highlights and achievementsAudit Performance The Agency received an unquali ed audit opinion and this follows a similar one received in the last nancial year ended 31 March 2012.

The matters of impairment and under-funding have been noted by the Board and management to be sources of high risk for the Agency and even though both presently lie outside of its immediate control, are nevertheless receiving priority attention.

Legislative Framework The publication of the Amendment Bill in Government Gazette 36173 dated 20 February 2013 was the culmination of an initiative by the Agency to amend its enabling laws and regulations based on experience and intended to enhance operational ef ciency.

The process to amend the legislative framework has been an intensively interactive one, with the active participation of various stakeholders representing the public, labour and business under the umbrella of NEDLAC in particular.

Institutional Capacitation Whereas the Agency started with a total of 22 staff at the beginning of the nancial period, this was increased to a total of 38 at the end of the period. The additional staff of 16 was brought in to build capacity in the key areas of Audit and Risk Management, Information Technology and Debt Collection Units.

The pace of recruitment was constrained by the underfunding situation whereby the MTEF grant was R 5 million for the year and this was only supplemented at year end when the Department of Transport made a virement of R 14 million.

Infringement Penalty CollectionRTIA’s share of revenue from outstanding road traf c infringements penalties amounted to R 49 million against a revised target of R 50 million. The result compares well with the total share of revenue of R 28.5 million achieved last year.

Data Clean-up After experiencing problems of data integrity and the lack of enforcement of the address validation on the NCR, as well as the non-uploading of infringement payments on the NCR, the Agency embarked on a data cleaning project as a matter of priority this year.

The project made commendable progress in that a total of 79 440 transactions with a value of R 143.2 million were updated and this helped close the reconciliation gap of 107 000 transactions with a value of R 207 million that were still to be uploaded at the start of the report period.

Adjudications Performance The total number of Representations received was 35,552 from which 34,869 Representations were adjudicated. This is slightly less than the total number of Representations applications received in the preceding year.

Marketing and EducationThe AARTO national marketing and educational programmes were conducted through targeted publications, collaboration with the Department of Transport and other transport sector stakeholders mainly during Easter and Festive Season Road Safety campaigns. Key exhibitions were conducted, which targeted high-traf c areas and peak periods offering the highest impact, such as those executed during the launch of October Transport Month and the Rand Show in NASREC which increased public awareness of the RTIA brand and educated the public about their rights and responsibilities under the AARTO Act.

The Agency devised a programme to ‘take its services to the people’ through setting up kiosks in the various communication events. The kiosk project is geared to educate the public and encourage infringers to pay their outstanding infringements thus foster voluntary compliance with road traf c laws and take responsibility for their actions.

In terms of Section 14(1) and (3) of the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traf c Offences Act, 1998 (Act No. 46 of 1998) and Section 40(1)(c) and (d) of the Public Finance Management Act, 1999 (Act No. 1 of 1999), I certify that for the nancial year ended 31 March 2013, the Road Traf c Infringement Agency has lodged with the Minister of Transport and

Approval and Statement of ResponsibilityThe Board of Directors, which is the accounting authority of the Road Traf c Infringement Agency, is responsible for the maintenance of adequate accounting records and the preparation, integrity and fair presentation of the nancial statements of the Agency and related information. As at the reporting date, the RTIA had a functioning Board of Directors and hereby presents the Annual Financial Statements after due consideration and approval thereof.

The Auditor-General of South Africa is responsible for independently auditing and reporting on the fair presentation of the nancial statements in conformity with International Standards of Auditing. The accounting authority is also responsible

for the systems of internal nancial controls. These are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute assurance as to the reliability of the nancial statements, and to adequately safeguard, verify and maintain accountability of assets, and to prevent and detect misstatements and losses. In spite of on-going challenges that the Agency continued to face and having partially managed to overcome some of them, there has not been anything that has come to the attention of the accounting authority to indicate that any material breakdown in the functioning of these controls, procedures and systems has occurred during the year under review.

The nancial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, since the accounting authority has every reason to believe that the A gency, whilst not at its optimum capacity of resources, has nonetheless, the essential and critical elements and strategies required to continue with the operations of the Agency for the foreseeable future. The accounting authority is satis ed that the information contained in the nancial statements fairly presents the results of the operations for the year and the nancial position of the Agency at year end.

The annual nancial statements set out on pages 169 to 205 have been approved by the accounting authority and were signed on its behalf by the Chairperson.

Chairperson: RTIA Board

Accounting Authority’s ReportThe accounting authority presents the audited annual nancial statements of the Road Traf c Infringement Agency for the year ended 31 March 2013, being the third set of nancial statements for the Agency since its scheduling in terms of the Public Finance Management Act, 1999.

IntroductionThe RTIA was established by section 3 of the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traf c Offences Act, 1998 (Act No. 46 of 1998) and is listed under Schedule 3 Part A of the Public Finance Management Act, 1999 (Act No. 1 of 1999).

The function of the Agency is to administer a procedure to discourage the contravention of road traf c laws and to support the adjudication of infringements; to enforce penalties imposed against persons contravening road traf c laws; provide specialised prosecution support services and undertake community education and awareness programmes in order to ensure that individuals understand their rights and options.

The Board of Directors are the accounting authority in terms of section 49 of the PFMA.

Review of ActivitiesDuring the period under review, the Agency continued to face critical challenges that impacted on its operations, which challenges were adequately brought to the attention of the Department and Shareholder for effective interventions. These challenges related to the following:

• Continued inadequate budget provision;

• Lack of enforcement of the Agency’s full mandate on AARTO and the control of the AARTO national bank accounts;

• Legislative de ciencies impeding the ef ciency and nancial viability of the Agency; and

• De ciencies of the National Contraventions Register.

FundingFor the nancial period 2012/13, the Agency received a government grant allocation of R 5 million and a further R14 million was granted at the end of the nancial year. In addition to its grant allocation, the Agency received funds stemming from its share of fees as provided for in section 13(1) of the AARTO Act which amongst others, allows the Agency to be funded through payments made on infringements after 32 days in order to pay for its operational costs and meet its obligations.

The average expenditure for the serving of courtesy letters was R 3 million per month and was projected to escalate to R 5.5 million per month with the enforcement orders served by registered mail. Due to the under-funding of the Agency, the Board resolved to drastically curb its expenditure by suspending the South African Post Of ce account for the serving of Courtesy Letters and Enforcement Orders. This decision was motivated by the huge costs related to the service of those documents, coupled with the related de ciencies and lack of data integrity on the address validation on the NCR, which ultimately could lead to fruitless expenditure. This decision will be reviewed regularly with a view to resuscitating the arrangement or to implement other low cost alternatives.

Contingent liabilitiesThe Agency was cited as a co-defendant in a legal action involving the alleged refusal of the Issuing Authority to issue an operator’s card to the plaintiff, Ngijulukile Logistics and Trading CC due to an enforcement order issued against its

161

name. Management believes that based on legal advice obtained from the Agency’s Legal Advisors, the action can be successfully defended and therefore no losses (including for costs) will be incurred by the Agency. The matter was not set down in court during the course of the 2012/13 nancial year, and is regarded as pending.

Enforcement of mandateThe Agency has raised the matter of the lack of enforcement of the AARTO mandate in respect of institutional arrangements with the RTMC. This related to the continued involvement of the RTMC in the AARTO process, which started with the provision of support services to the Agency as embodied in Chapter 2 of the AARTO Regulations 2008. In preparation for the national rollout, it is imperative for the Agency to be given its full mandate with the take-over of these functions, so that the Agency, as the custodian of the AARTO Act, becomes the authoritative entity in order to ensure that clear, uniform and standardised communication is disseminated to the public.

Legislative de ciencies With the continuation of the AARTO implementation, a number of legislative de ciencies were identi ed and the required interventions put in place. A two-phased approach was adopted by the Agency, entailing the Regulations Amendments, as well as the amendment to the AARTO Act. The Amendment Bill was published in Government Gazette 36173 dated 20 February 2013 for public comments. It is envisaged that the Amendment Bill will be nalised in the 2013/14 period and tabled at the National parliament for approval and promulgation.

The supporting regulations to the Act were also updated, taking into consideration the amended aspects in the Amendment Bill. A thorough consultative process was engaged upon by the Agency in order to ensure broad stakeholder participation and support for the amendments, ultimately leading to ef cient implementation of the AARTO process.

Institutional capacitationThe Agency continued to operate under severe shortage of critical staff, which impeded its ef cient performance, due to the lack of adequate funding. Notwithstanding these challenges, the Agency undertook a strategic and phased implementation process for capacitating itself. To that extent, a cautious recruitment approach resulted in the increase in staff capacity from 22 at the beginning of the nancial period to a total of 38 by 31 March 2013.

The arrangement made with the Department for the secondment of 4 staff at management level continued to the end of the nancial year, with the staff making a positive contribution to the development and operations of the Agency. A recruitment process was also started in February 2013 with advertisements for 18 posts to be lled and it is expected that these posts will be lled in the 2013/14 period, to reach a total of at least 75 staff.

Lack of Cooperation from Pilot SitesFor some considerable time through to December 2012 when the situation changed for the better, Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department was not uploading their infringement records onto the NCR, and furthermore continued to serve Notices by ordinary mail, instead of registered mail, contrary to the provisions of the Act. This resulted in unprecedented negative publicity and criticism on the AARTO processes. Furthermore, the Agency was placed in a position of not serving Courtesy Letters and Enforcement Orders to the affected infringers since this would result in fruitless expenditure, given that the original Notices would not have been served as prescribed by the Act.

The Issuing Authorities continued to withhold payments of the infringement portion due to the RTIA, citing lack of service level agreements with the Agency and the inability to disburse the related infringement penalty fees paid by infringers into the AARTO national bank accounts that are held by the RTMC. Having elevated the matter regarding the enforcement of the mandate and the transfer of the AARTO national bank accounts from the RTMC to the RTIA, the Agency has been awaiting nalisation thereof from the Department. Once this has been fully resolved, the Agency will

ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13 ROAD TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT AGENCY162 ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13 ROAD TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT AGENCY162

be able to meet its obligations in relation to the nancial management and disbursement of infringement revenue due to various Issuing Authorities and receiving Agencies.

National Contraventions Register De cienciesWhereas signi cant progress had been made in addressing the de ciencies in the functionality of the National Contraventions Register, some aspects remain critical and may negatively impact on the Agency’s ef ciencies and performance. These have been brought to the attention of the Department of Transport to ensure the adequate prioritisation of all the required functionality supporting the Agency’s and AARTO implementation needs.

Given that the Issuing Authorities are the originators of the Infringement Notices captured, the lack of enforcement for address validations, leads to a tremendously negative impact on the Agency’s operations, particularly relating to the data integrity and correctness of addresses for the service of Courtesy Letters and Enforcement Orders. The Agency has engaged with the Department of Transport and is hopeful that the plan of action put in place will adequately address these problems.

Organisation StructureThe Board is the Accounting Authority which oversees the operations of the Agency.

The Board of Directors was appointed for a three year term with effect from 1 August 2010 to 31 July 2013. Whereas the Act provides for 7 Board Members including the Registrar, for the majority of the nancial year, the Board operated with four members due to the resignation of two members over the preceding two years and one member short that was not appointed at the beginning of the term and not replaced. The Registrar is the Accounting Of cer and supported by the Executive Committee, comprising of seven members. The Agency had four established operational divisions to cover adjudications, nance, communications and information technology and reached a total staff compliment of 38 at the end of the period under review.

DirectorsThe Board of Directors for the period ending 31 March 2013 was constituted as follows:

Ms NE Rapoo (Non-Executive Chairperson)

Mr JR Chuwe (Registrar and Executive Director)

Adv. TE Dicker (Non-Executive Director)

Mr IS Jordaan (Non-Executive Director – resigned 26 July 2012)

Mr CM Manzini (Non-Executive Director)

The shareholder was duly noti ed of the resignation of Mr Jordaan and the process for replacement and augmentation of the Board Members was started but not yet completed at the end of the nancial year.

Company SecretaryThe Company Secretary is Adv. MLT Bilikwana.

BankersThe Agency operates its bank account with the Centurion branch of the Standard Bank of South Africa.

AuditorsThe Auditor-General of South Africa is the designated auditor of the Agency.

The acting Chief Financial Of cer, the Senior Manager for Internal Audit and Risk Management, and representatives of the Auditor-General are standing invitees at each meeting of the Audit and Risk Committee which has direct access to these attendees in the ful llment of its duties. Executives and managers are invited to attend for agenda items covering audit ndings or business matters which relate to their job descriptions.

Audit & Risk Committee ResponsibilityDuring the nancial year under review the Audit Committee has complied with its responsibilities arising from section 38(1) (a) of the PFMA and Treasury Regulations 3.1.13. The Audit and Risk Committee also has appropriate terms of reference in the form of its Audit and Risk Committee Charter and has regulated its affairs in compliance with this charter and has discharged all its responsibilities as contained therein including the review of the following:

• The effectiveness of the RTIA’s internal control systems;

• The risk areas of the RTIA’s operations to be covered in the scope of the internal and external audits;

• The accounting and auditing concerns identi ed as a result of the internal or external audits;

• The RTIA’s compliance with legal and regulatory provisions, in particular the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traf c Offences Act, 1998 (Act No. 46 of 1998); the Public Finance Management Act, 1999 (Act No. 1 of 1999) (as amended by Act 29 of 1999), (“PFMA”), as well as the National Treasury Regulations.

ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13 ROAD TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT AGENCY164 ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13 ROAD TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT AGENCY164

Risk ManagementThe risk management function was established during the period under review. In line with the ARC charter, the committee has recommended for approval to the Board, the Risk Management Strategy, Policy and Risk Appetite. The strategic risk register was developed and monitored by quarterly reporting to ARC on implementation of action plans. Though risk management function is still in its infancy, the ARC is con dent that to date signi cant improvements have been made by the Agency.

Effectiveness of Internal Control SystemsThe systems of internal control are designed to provide cost effective assurance that assets are safeguarded and that liabilities and working capital are ef ciently managed. From the various reports of the in- house Internal Auditors and the Auditor-General, the Audit Committee noted some improvements as well as the continued existence of weaknesses in the internal control environment, and instances of non-compliance with laid down procedures.

During the period under review, an Internal Audit and Risk Management Unit was established. In line with the PFMA, Internal Audit plans which are developed from the strategic risk register are provided to the Audit Committee and to management with assurance that internal controls are appropriate and effective. This is achieved by means of an appropriate quarterly reporting process, as well as the identi cation of corrective actions and suggested enhancements to the controls and processes. Based on the audits conducted and presented to the Audit Committee for the 2012/13 nancial year, the Committee concludes overall that the internal controls evaluated during those audits were partially

adequate and effective.

Quality of Management ReportsThe Audit Committee is satis ed with the content and quality of the quarterly reports as prepared and issued by management during the year under review in terms of the PFMA regulations.

Going ConcernThe Audit Committee reviewed a documented assessment by management of the going concern premise before agreeing that the adoption of the going concern premise is appropriate in preparing the nancial statements.

Evaluation of the Financial Statements The Audit Committee has:

• reviewed and discussed with management and the Auditor-General the audited annual nancial statements and the Auditor-General’s report and audit opinion, to be included in the annual report;

• reviewed the Auditor-General’s management letter and management’s responses thereto;

• reviewed the appropriateness of accounting policies and practices; and

• reviewed signi cant adjustments, resulting from the annual audit.

The Audit Committee has evaluated the nancial statements of the RTIA for the year ended 31 March 2013 and concluded that they comply, in all material respects, with the requirements of the PFMA, and were prepared in accordance with the effective Standards of Generally Recognised Accounting Practices (“GRAP”) issued by the Accounting Standards Board (“ASB”). The Committee has discussed, concurs with and accepts the conclusions of the Auditor-General on the annual nancial statements contained in the Report of the Auditor-General to Parliament, and recommended these to the Accounting Authority for acceptance and inclusion in the Annual Report.

FINAL REPORT OF THE AUDITOR-GENERAL TO PARLIAMENT ON THE ROAD TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT AGENCY REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Introduction 1. I have audited the nancial statements of the Road Traf c Infringement Agency set out on pages 169 to 205,

which comprise the statement of nancial position as at 31 March 2013, the statement of nancial performance, statement of changes in net assets and the cash flow statement for the year then ended, and the notes, comprising a summary of signi cant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Accounting authority’s responsibility for the nancial statements2. The accounting authority is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these nancial statements in

accordance with South African Standards of Generally Recognised Accounting Practice (SA Standards of GRAP) and the requirements of the Public Finance Management Act of South Africa, 1999 (Act No.1 of 1999) (PFMA), and for such internal control as the accounting authority determines is necessary to enable the preparation of nancial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor-General’s responsibility 3. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these nancial statements based on my audit. I conducted my audit

in accordance with the Public Audit Act of South Africa, 2004 (Act No. 25 of 2004) (PAA), the General Notice issued in terms thereof and International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that I comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the nancial statements are free from material misstatement.

4. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the nancial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of

the risks of material misstatement of the nancial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the nancial statements 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 entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the nancial statements.

5. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is suf cient and appropriate to provide a basis for my unquali ed audit opinion.

Opinion6. In my opinion, the nancial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the nancial position of the Road

Traf c Infringement Agency as at 31 March 2013, and its nancial performance and cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with South African Standards of Generally Recognised Accounting Practice (SA Standards of GRAP) and the requirements of the Public Finance Management Act of South Africa, 1999 (Act No.1 of 1999) (PFMA).

Emphasis of matter7. I draw attention to the matter below. My opinion is not modi ed in respect of this matter:

Material Impairment 8. As disclosed in note 5 to the nancial statements, a material impairment to the amount of R31 164 022 was incurred

as a result of the assessment made on the cash recoverability of the accounts receivable relating to the AARTO management process.

REPORT ON OTHER LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS 9. In accordance with the PAA and the General Notice issued in terms thereof, I report the following ndings relevant to

performance against predetermined objectives, compliance with laws and regulations and internal control, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion.

Predetermined objectives 10. I performed procedures to obtain evidence about the usefulness and reliability of the information in the annual

performance report as set out on pages 146 to 154 of the annual report.

11. The reported performance against predetermined objectives was evaluated against the overall criteria of usefulness and reliability. The usefulness of information in the annual performance report relates to whether it is presented in accordance with the National Treasury’s annual reporting principles and whether the reported performance is consistent with the planned objectives. The usefulness of information further relates to whether indicators and targets are measurable (i.e. well de ned, veri able, speci c, measurable and time bound) and relevant as required by the National Treasury Framework for managing programme performance information.

12. The reliability of the information in respect of the selected objectives is assessed to determine whether it adequately reflects the facts (i.e. whether it is valid, accurate and complete).

13. There were no material ndings on the annual performance report concerning the usefulness and reliability of the information.

Additional matter14. I draw attention to the matter below. My conclusion is not modi ed in respect of this matter:

Achievement of planned targets15. Of the total number of 6 targets planned for the year, 2 of the targets were not achieved during the year under review.

This represents 33% of total planned targets that were not achieved during the year under review. This was mainly due to the fact that indicators and targets were not suitably developed during the strategic planning process.

Compliance with laws and regulations 16. I performed procedures to obtain evidence that the entity has complied with applicable laws and regulations regarding

nancial matters, nancial management and other related matters. My ndings on material non-compliance with speci c matters in key applicable laws and regulations as set out in the General Notice issued in terms of the PAA are as follows:

ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13 ROAD TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT AGENCY168 ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13 ROAD TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT AGENCY168

Material misstatements in annual nancial statements subsequently corrected17. The accounting authority submitted nancial statements for auditing that were not prepared in all material aspects

in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice and supported by full and proper records as required by section 55 (1) (a) and (b) of the PFMA. Material misstatements identi ed by the AGSA were subsequently corrected.

Courtesy and Enforcement letters not issued18. During the review of the agency key performance drivers and overview of the national contravention register, we

noted that the agency did not issue and serve any courtesy and enforcement letters to traf c infringers for the period September 2012 to 31 March 2013 in contravention of section 19 and 20 of the AARTO Act 46 of 1998.

Internal control 19. I considered internal control relevant to my audit of the nancial statements, performance report and compliance

with laws and regulations. The matters reported below under the fundamentals of internal control are limited to the signi cant de ciencies that resulted in the basis for quali ed opinion and the ndings on compliance with laws and regulations included in this report.

Leadership20. Lack of oversight responsibility and proper review regarding the nancial statements preparation and related internal

controls.

21. Issuing authorities have not managed the infringement process in alignment with the AARTO Act and this has limited the RTIA to effectively execute its traf c infringement enforcement mandate.

ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13 ROAD TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT AGENCY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the year Ended 31 March 2013

1. Basis of Presentation

1.1 Statement of Compliance

The annual nancial statements have been prepared in accordance with the effective Standards of Generally Recognised Accounting Practices (“GRAP”) issued by the Accounting Standards Board (“ASB”) in accordance with the Public Finance Management Act, 1999 (Act No.1 of 1999) (“PFMA”).

During the year, a number of standards of GRAP became effective for the current nancial period. A brief description of these standards as well as an estimate of the impact is contained in Note 19.

A summary of the signi cant accounting policies, which have been applied, are disclosed below. These accounting policies are consistent with the previous period.

1.2 Reporting Entity

The Road Traf c Infringement Agency (“RTIA or the Agency”) derives its mandate and functions from the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traf c Offences Act, 1998 (Act No.46 of 1998). The full responsibilities of the Agency are contained in this Act.

1.3 Basis of Measurement

The nancial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

1.4 Functional and Presentation Currency

These nancial statements are presented in South African Rand, which is the Agency’s functional currency. All nancial information presented in Rand has been rounded to the nearest Rand.

1.5 Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of nancial statements in conformity with GRAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. These judgments and estimates are reviewed annually by management. Revisions and accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

The following signi cant areas of judgments and sources of estimation uncertainty were used during the nancial year:

• Asset lives and residual values

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors. In re-assessing asset lives, factors such as technological innovation, product life cycles and maintenance programmes are taken into account. Residual value assessments consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and projected disposal values.

For uncertainties that result from the assessment of useful lives and residual values on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (see note 2.1 and 2.2).

173

ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13 ROAD TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT AGENCYANNUAL REPORT 2012/13 ROAD TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT AGENCY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the year ended 31 March 2013

• Provisions

The nature of the judgments and estimation uncertainties related to provisions. Provisions were raised and management determined an estimate based on the information available.

• Impairment testing

Key assumptions, judgments and/or estimates used with regards to impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are considered for impairment if there is reason to believe that impairment may be necessary. Factors taken into consideration in reaching such a decision include the economic viability of the asset and where it is a component of a larger economic unit, the viability of that unit itself.

Future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset are projected, taking into account market conditions and the expected useful lives of the assets. The present value of these cash flows, determined using appropriate discount rates, is compared to the current net asset value and if lower, the assets are impaired to the present value.

• Impairment for doubtful debts

The Agency assesses its receivables for impairment at each balance sheet date. In determining whether impairment for doubtful debts should be recognised, management will make judgements as to whether there is objective evidence indicating that the nancial asset may be impaired.

2. Signi cant Accounting Policies

2.1 Property, plant and equipment

2.1.1 Recognition and measurement

An item of property, plant and equipment is recognized as an asset:

• When the Agency has full control over it and;

• It is probable that future economic bene ts will flow to the Agency and;

• The asset has a cost, or other determined value which can be measured reliably.

Property, plant and equipment is initially measured at cost, including all directly attributable costs necessary to bring the asset to its required working condition for its intended use. Subsequently property, plant and equipment is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Property, plant and equipment cease to be recognised when it is disposed of or permanently withdrawn from use or when no future economic bene ts are expected from its use or disposal. Gains and losses arising from the retirement or disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and carrying amount of the assets, these are recognised as income or expenses in surplus or de cit for the period.

174

ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13 ROAD TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT AGENCY

ChangeAhead

ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13 ROAD TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT AGENCY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the year ended 31 March 2013

The depreciation method used reflects the pattern in which the asset’s future economic bene ts are expected to be consumed by the Agency.

When property, plant and equipment comprises of major components with different useful lives, these components are accounted for as separate items and they are depreciated separately.

2.1.2 Subsequent costs

The Agency recognises in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred if it is probable that the future economic bene ts embodied within the item will flow to the Agency and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.

All other costs are recognised in surplus or de cit as an expense when they are incurred. Repairs and maintenance costs are generally charged to expenses when they are incurred. However, major renovations are capitalised and included in the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic bene ts in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance of the existing asset will flow to the Agency. Major renovations are depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset.

2.1.3 Depreciation

The useful life of an asset and residual values are reviewed annually, and if expectations differ from previous estimates, the changes are accounted for as a change in accounting estimate.

Depreciation on all property, plant and equipment commences when the items are available for use. Depreciation is recognised on a straight-line basis to write off the cost of assets to their residual values over the estimated useful lives.

The useful lives for items of property, plant and equipment have been assessed as follows:

Furniture & ttings 5 yearsOf ce equipment and appliances 5 yearsComputer equipment 3 years

Depreciation does not cease when the asset becomes idle or is retired from active use unless the asset is fully depreciated.

2.2 Intangible assets

2.2.1 Recognition and measurement

Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. Cost includes any directly attributable cost of preparing the asset for its intended use.

After initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at their cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Intangible assets are derecognised on disposal or when no future economic bene ts are expected from its use or disposal.

175

ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13 ROAD TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT AGENCYANNUAL REPORT 2012/13 ROAD TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT AGENCY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the year ended 31 March 2013

2.2.2 Subsequent costs

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic bene ts embodied in the speci c asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is recognised in surplus or de cit as incurred.

An internally-generated intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised when:

• it is technically feasible to complete the asset so that it will be available for use or sale;

• there is an intention to complete and use or sell it;

• there is an ability to use or sell it;

• it will generate probable future economic bene ts;

• there are available technical, nancial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the asset; and

• the expenditure attributable to the asset during its development can be measured reliably.

Intangible assets with a nite useful life are amortised over that useful life of the product. Amortisation commences when the asset is available for use, i.e. when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

The useful life of an intangible asset is reviewed annually, and if expectations differ from previous estimates, the changes shall be accounted for as a change in accounting estimates.

The useful lives for items of intangible assets have been assessed as follows:

Computer software and licenses 3 yearsWebsite development costs 3 years

Amortisation does not cease when the asset becomes idle or is retired from active use unless the asset is fully depreciated.

2.3 Impairment

Financial assets

The entity assesses at each statement of nancial position date whether there is objective evidence that a nancial assets or the Agency assets are impaired.

Assets carried at amortised cost

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows (excluding future expected credit losses) discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate.

Objective evidence that nancial assets are impaired can include default or delinquency by a debtor or indications that a debtor will enter into bankruptcy.

176

ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13 ROAD TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT AGENCY

ChangeAhead

ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13 ROAD TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT AGENCY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the year ended 31 March 2013

Signi cant nancial assets should be tested for impairment on an individual basis and the remaining nancial assets should be assessed collectively into groups of similar credit risk characteristics.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment decreases and the decrease relates objectively to an event occurring after the impairment, it is reversed to the extent that the carrying value does not exceed the amortised cost. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in surplus or de cit. A nancial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset.

Non- nancial assets

The carrying amount of non- nancial assets is reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks speci c to the asset.

An impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in surplus or de cit.

2.4 Financial Instruments

2.4.1 Initial recognition

Financial assets and nancial liabilities are recognised on the statement of nancial performance when the company has become a party to contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire; or when nancial assets and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets are transferred to another entity. Financial liabilities are derecognised when, and only when, the company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire.

2.4.2 Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables that have xed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classi ed as loans and receivables. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial.

Trade receivables are carried at cost less provision made for impairment of these receivables.

2.4.3 Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

2.4.4 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand. This is measured at fair value.

ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13 ROAD TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT AGENCYANNUAL REPORT 2012/13 ROAD TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT AGENCY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the year ended 31 March 2013

2.5 Employee bene ts

Short-term employee bene ts

The cost of short-term employee bene ts, (those payable within 12 months after the service is rendered, such as paid vacation leave and sick leave, bonuses and non-monetary bene ts such as medical care), are recognised in the period in which the service is rendered and are not discounted.

The expected cost of compensated absences is recognised as an expense as the employees render services that increase their entitlement or, in the case of non-accumulating absences, when the absence occurs.

The expected cost of bonus payments is recognised as an expense when there is a legal or constructive obligation to make such payments as a result of past performance.

De ned Contribution

Payments to de ned contribution retirement bene t plans are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

Under a de ned contribution plan xed contributions are payable by the Agency and members. The Agency has no legal or constructive obligation to pay any further contributions other than these xed contributions.

2.6 Provisions

Provisions are made for unavoidable liabilities of which the amount can be estimated, but the settlement is uncertain. These provisions are recognised when the Agency has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic bene ts will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.

The carrying amount of each provision is reviewed at reporting date and adjusted, if necessary, to reflect the best estimate of the consideration required to settling the present obligation as at that date. Where the effect of the 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.

A provision is reversed to the extent that it is no longer probable that a future outflow of economic bene ts will be required to settle the obligation.

2.7 Revenue recognition

Grants and virements received

Government grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that:

• the Agency will comply with the conditions attaching to them; and

• the grants will be received.

Government grants are recognised as income in the year in which they are received or deferred when conditions for the grant are not met.

ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13 ROAD TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT AGENCY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the year ended 31 March 2013

A government grant that becomes receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate nancial support to the Agency with no future related costs is recognised as income in the period in which it becomes receivable.

Infringement fees

Infringement fees comprise of traf c penalties collected, courtesy letter fees, enforcement order fees, penalty fees and unsuccessful representation fees.

Infringement fees are recognised when the outcome of the transaction involving the collection of infringement fees can be estimated reliably, revenue associated with these transactions is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the transaction. The outcome of these transactions can be reliably measured when all of the following conditions are satis ed:

• The amount of revenue can be measured reliably,

• It is probable that the economic bene ts or service potential associated with the transactions will flow to the Agency,

• The stage of completion of the transaction at the end of the nancial year can be measured reliably, and

• The costs incurred for the transaction and the costs to complete the transaction can be measured reliably.

These conditions are met at the point where fees are collected from the infringers.

2.8 Financing income

Interest income is recognised in surplus or de cit as it accrues, using the effective interest rate method.

2.9 Expenses

2.9.1 Financing costs

The interest expense is recognised in surplus or de cit using the effective interest method.

2.9.2 Lease payments

Payments made under operating leases are recognised in surplus or de cit on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

2.10 Operating leases

Leases where the lessor retains the risk and rewards of ownership of the underlying asset are classi ed as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

2.11 Taxation

The RTIA is exempt from taxation in terms of the provision of section 10 (1) (cA) (i) of the Income Tax Act, 1962 (Act No. 58 of 1962).

2.12 Related Parties

The RTIA operates in an economic environment currently dominated by entities directly or indirectly owned by the Department of Transport of the South African Government. Only parties within the Department of Transport will be considered to be related parties.

Key management is de ned as being individuals with the authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Agency. We regard all individuals from the level of Executive Management up to the Board of Directors as key management per the de nition.

Close family members of key management personnel are considered to be those family members who may be expected to influence, or be influenced by key management individuals in their dealings with the Agency.

The objective of the nancial statements is to provide relevant and reliable information and therefore materiality is considered in the disclosure of these transactions.

2.13 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, or

• Any national legislation providing for procurement in that National Government.

Fruitless and wasteful expenditure is expenditure that was made in vain and could have been avoided had reasonable care been exercised.

Any irregular, fruitless and wasteful expenditure is charged against surplus or de cit in the period in which it is incurred.

As a result of this agreement, the PABX machine that had been acquired prior to the arrangement with the Department of Transport was redundant. However the Agency will be utilizing the machine in the future when proper infrastructure has been acquired.

17.2 Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Agency will not be able to meet its nancial obligations as they fall due. The Agency’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have suf cient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Agency’s reputation. This implies maintaining suf cient cash resources and the availability of funding through Medium Term Expenditure Framework. The Agency receives a guaranteed subsidy from National Treasury through the Medium Term Expenditure Framework allocation process to meet all its current and future obligations.

The Agency monitors its risk to a shortage of funds by using cash flow forecasting. The cash flow forecasting evaluates cash requirements over the foreseeable future, as well as expected cash flows from operations. Cash flow forecasts are prepared and adequate utilised borrowing facilities are monitored.

20. Going concernThe annual nancial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. This basis presumes that funds will be available to nance future operations of the Agency and that the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities will occur in the ordinary course of business.

However we would like to draw your attention to note 8, which discloses a once off virement from the Department of Transport amounting to R14 million. Without this virement a de cit of R7 390 127 would have been incurred.

This is an indication that the Department of Transport will continue to support the Agency nancially as evidenced by the virement provided in the past two years.

21. Contingent LiabilitiesThe Agency is a defendant in a legal action involving the alleged failure to renew the specialised PrDP licence against the plaintiff Ngijulukile Logistics and Trading CC.

Management believes that based on legal advice obtained from the Agency legal advisors, the action can be successfully defended and therefore no losses (including for costs) will be incurred by the Agency. The matter has not set down in court during the course of the 2012/13 nancial year; therefore the matter is regarded to be pending a court date.

22. Retention of surplus for the periodThe National Treasury has approved the retention of the surplus for the period.

23. Events after balance sheet There were no matters which are material to the nancial affairs of the Agency that have occurred between the statement of nancial position date and the date of approval of the nancial statements.

24. Approval of nancial statementsThe nancial statements were approved by the board of directors and authorised for issue on 27 July 2013.
