1 . 2 V i s i o n a n d M i s s i o n S t a te m e n t sVISION:To become a centre of operational excellence in regulating the liquor industry and creating a conducive environment for economic growth and development.
MiISSION:The Eastern Cape Liquor Board (ECLB) regulates the retail sales and micro-manufacturing of liquor in the province through the administration of the Eastern Cape Liquor Act 10 of 2003 (the Act) and special programmes thereby promoting entry of new participants, ensuring adequate standards of service delivery by new and existing liquor traders, taking into account community considerations, whilst also addressing the realities confronting the industry.

1 . 4 . R e p o r t o f t h e A c c o u n t i n g A u t h o r i t yIn the year under review the ECLB embarked on a concerted effort to improve its overall performance. We can confidently claim that our achievements for the financial year ending 31 March 2009 provide demonstrable evidence that we have turned a corner. For the first time in its short four year history, the ECLB obtained an unqualified audit report, which is a significant improvement over the previous financial years.
It is also significant to note as matters of governance that ECLB had a functional Audit Committee and an Internal Audit function in the second half of the year. Responsibilities pertaining to financial and risk management and internal control raised in the previous financial year were substantially addressed.
During the year under review there has been a global economic meltdown which has inevitably had an adverse effect on the South African economy. The liquor industry sector has managed to retain a significant number of jobs although other sectors like the automotive and the financial services have shed a number of jobs. This economic trend has been evidenced by the increase in the number of licensed liquor traders as compared to the previous year in the Eastern Cape. The total number of liquor license fees collected for the financial year amounted to R 3.9 million as compared to R 4.0 million in the previous year ago. ECLB has collected a total of R 17.9 million in licence fees in the five years since its inception.
Consultative awareness campaigns were conducted in attempting to manage and reduce the socio-economic costs of excessive alcohol consumption.
We undertake to build on the gains that have been achieved thus far to ensure that the liquor industry is regulated in a socially responsible manner.
We wish to express our sincere gratitude for the dedication and commitment demonstrated by our staff in achieving these results.
We also wish to thank DEDEA for the unwavering support and guidance they provided to enable us to deliver on our mandate during the 2008/09 financial year.

ACHIEVEMENTS During the year under review, the Eastern Cape Liquor Board and Kwazulu-Natal Liquor Board finalised and signed the cross-
boundary Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) on the hand-over of liquor licences issued in Umzimkhulu and Matatiele. This was followed by awareness campaign workshops with law enforcement, ward councillors and the licence holders where the chairpersons of both liquor authorities addressed the people from the affected municipalities on the procedures to be followed in transferring the files to each other.
As part of social responsibility, a multi-media campaign was successfully launched in June 2008. The campaign focused on the effects of alcohol abuse on income, livelihood, negative health, premature death, gender-based violence and road fatalities. The launch of the campaign received positive media coverage from Algoa FM and SABC Radio stations. The focus for the period under review was also on school youth, tertiary institutions and Foetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). The programme was successfully integrated with broader initiatives from the Department of Social Development, SANCA and non-governmental organisations that focus on substance abuse in general. A total number of twelve schools across the province were visited.
For the year under review, there has been a slight decline in revenue collections. Revenue collected during the year under review was R 3.909 million as compared to R 4.001 million in the previous financial year.
Public hearings were held during the year in the following areas:

Part 4: Annual Financial Statements
4 . 1 . R e p o r t o f t h e A u d i t o r G e n e r a lREPORT OF THE AUDITOR-GENERAL TO THE EASTERN CAPE PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE INFORMATION OF EASTERN CAPE LIQUOR BOARD FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2009
R e p o r t o n t h e Fi n a n c i a l S t a te m e n t s
INTRODUCTION1. I have audited the accompanying financial statements of the
Eastern Cape Liquor Board which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 March 2009, the statement of financial performance, the statement of changes in net assetsandthecashflowstatementfortheyearthenended,a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes, as set out on pages 29 to 48.
THE ACCOUNTING AUTHORITY’S RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENTS2. The accounting authority is responsible for the preparation
and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the basis of accounting determined by the National Treasury, as set out in accounting policy note 1 and in the manner required by the Public Finance Management Act, 1999 (Act No. 1 of 1999) (PFMA) and the Eastern Cape Liquor Act, 2003 (Act No. 1 of 2003) and for such internal control as the accounting authority determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
THE AUDITOR-GENERAL’S RESPONSIBILITY3. As required by section 188 of the Constitution of the Republic
of South Africa, 1996 read with section 4 of the Public Audit Act, 2004 (Act No. 25 of 2004) (PAA), my responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.
4. I conducted my audit in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing read with General Notice 616 of 2008, issued in Government Gazette No. 31057 of 15 May 2008. Those standards require that I comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
5. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial 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 financial 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 financial statements.
6. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion
OPINION7. In my opinion the financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Eastern Cape Liquor Board as at 31 March 2009 and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended, inaccordance with the basis of accounting as determined by the National Treasury, as set out in accounting policy note 1 and in the manner required by the Public Finance Management Act, 1999 (Act No. 1 of 1999) (PFMA) and the Eastern Cape Liquor Act, 2003 (Act No. 1 of 2003).
EMPHASIS OF MATTERSWithout qualifying my opinion, I draw attention to the following matters:
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING8. The Board’s policy is to prepare financial statements in
accordance with the basis of accounting determined by the National Treasury, as set out in accounting policy note 1.
RESTATEMENT OF CORRESPONDING FIGURES9. As disclosed in note 2 to the financial statements, the
corresponding figure for 31 March 2008 has been restated as a result of an error identified in the financial statements of the Eastern Cape Liquor Board for the year ended 31 March 2008, during the year ended 31 March 2009.
OTHER MATTERS Without qualifying my opinion, I draw attention to the
following matters that relate to my responsibilities in the audit of the financial statements:
GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK10. The governance principles that impact the auditor’s
opinion on the financial statements relate to the responsibilities and practices of the accounting authority and executive management and are reflected in the internal controldeficiencies and key governance responsibilities addressed below.
2 6
KEY GOVERNANCE RESPONSIBILITIES11. The PFMA tasks the accounting authority with a number of responsibilities concerning financial and risk management
and internal control. Fundamental to achieving this is the implementation of key governance responsibilities, which I have assessed as follows:
No. Matter Y N

1 No significant difficulties were experienced during the audit concerning delays or the availability of requested information.
Quality of financial statements and related management information
2 The financial statements were not subject to any material amendments resulting from the audit.

12. The control environment within the entity is conducive to good governance and accountability as the leadership had ensured that the control environment has received the appropriate attention. However, management attention is specifically drawn to the following key governance responsibilities which according to the above table have not been effectively addressed:
• Althoughthefinancesection,particularlythefinancialreportingsection,hasadequateskillsandcompetencies,there is a lack of monitoring over the financial accounting processes. As a result material amendments were made to the financial statements in order to avoid qualifications. • Thefraudpreventionplanimplementedin2005wasnotupdatedtosupplementthecurrentriskmanagementstrategy
which included a risk assessment performed during the year under review. • Theinternalauditfunctionwasoutsourcedtoanexternalserviceproviderfromtheperiod01/08/2008tothe
31/07/2011, due to this there was no internal audit process in place for the first four months of the current financial year.
R e p o r t o n O t h e r Le g a l a n d R e g u l a ro t y R e q u i re m e n t s
REPORT ON PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
13. I have reviewed the performance information as set out on pages 13 to 21.
THE ACCOUNTING AUTHORITY’S RESPONSIBILTY FOR THE PERFORMANCE INFORMATION14. The accounting authority has additional responsibilities as required by section 55(2)(a) of the PFMA to ensure that the annual report and audited financial statements fairly present the performance against predetermined objectives of the board.
THE AUDITOR-GENERAL’S RESPONSIBILITY15. I conducted my engagement in accordance with section 13 of the PAA read with General Notice 616 of 2008, issued in Government Gazette No. 31057 of 15 May 2008.
16. In terms of the foregoing my engagement included performing procedures of an audit nature to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about the performance information and related systems, processes and procedures. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement.
AUDIT FINDINGS (performance information) 17. I believe that the evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to report that no significant findings have been identified as a result of my audit.
APPRECIATION
18. The assistance rendered by the staff of the Eastern Cape Liquor Board during the audit is sincerely appreciated.

4 . 2 . S t a te m e n t o f r e s p o n s i b i l i t y by t h e A c c o u n t i n g A u t h o r i t yThe annual financial statements are the responsibility of the Accounting Authority. The Auditor General is responsible for independently auditing and reporting on the financial statements.
The annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the South African Statements of Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (GAAP) including any interpretations of such statements issued by the Accounting Practices Board, with the effective standards of Generally Recognised Accounting Practice (GRAP) issued by the Accounting Standards Board replacing the equivalent GAAP Statement.
TheAccountingAuthorityhasreviewedtheentity’sbudgetandcashflowforecastsfortheyearended31March2010.Onthebasisof this review, and in light of the current financial position, the Accounting Authority has every reason to believe that it will continue operating as a going concern in the year ahead and has prepared the annual financial statements on a going concern basis.
The ECLB was established in terms of the Eastern Cape Liquor Act No. 10 of 2003 and came into operation as from 1 April 2005, at which point the Accounting Authority began setting policies to enable management to meet its responsibility in terms of the Public Finance Management Act (Act No.1 of 1999) by implementing systems of internal control and risk management that are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute assurance against material misstatements and losses. The entity has implemented internal financial controls to provide assurance regarding:
• Thesafeguardingofassetsagainstunauthoriseduseordisposition,• Themaintenance of proper accounting records and the reliability of financial information usedwithin the business or for
publication.• Compliancewithapplicablelegislation
In the opinion of the Accounting Authority, based on information available to date, the annual financial statements fairly present thefinancialpositionoftheEasternCapeLiquorBoardat31March2009andtheresultsofitsoperationsandcashflowinformationfor the year then ended.
The annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2009, set out on pages 27 to 47, were approved by the Accounting Authority in terms of section 51 (1) (f ) of the Public Finance Management Act 1999, (Act No. 1 of 1999) on 29 May 2009, and are signed on its behalf by:

A summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes is set out below on pages 30 to 47:
1 . A cco u n t i n g p o l i c i e sThe principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements, applied consistently from the prior year, are set out below:
1 . 1 B a s i s o f p re p a ra t i o nThe financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the South African Statements of Generally Accepted Accounting Practices (GAAP) including any interpretations of such Statements issued by the Accounting Practices Board, with the effective Standards of Generally Recognised Accounting Practices (GRAP) issued by the Accounting Standards Board replacing the equivalent GAAP Statement as follows:
Standard of GRAP Replaced Statement of GAAP
GRAP 1:Presentation of Financial Statements AC101:Presentation of Financial Statements
GRAP 2:Cashflow Statements AC118:Cashflow Statements
GRAP 3:Accounting policies,changes in accounting estimates and errors
AC103:Accounting policies,changes in accounting estimates and errors
The financial statements are presented in South African Rands.
Currently the recognition and measurement principles in the above GRAP and GAAP Statements do not differ or result in material differences in items presented and disclosed in the financial statements. The implementation of GRAP 1, 2 & 3 has resulted in the following changes in the presentation of the financial statements:
a. Terminology Differences
Standard of GRAP Replaced Statement of GAAP
Statement of Financial Performance Income Statement
Statement of Financial Position Balance Sheet
Statement of changes in net assets Statement of changes in equity
Net Assets Equity
Surplus/deficit Profit/Loss

b.Thecashflowstatementcanonlybepreparedinaccordancewiththedirectmethod.c. Specific information (where applicable) has been presented separately on the statement of financial position such as:I. Receivables from non-exchange transactions, including taxes and transfers;II. Taxes and transfers payable;III. Trade and other payables from non-exchange transactions;d. The amount and nature of any restrictions on cash balances is required.
Paragraph 11 – 15 of GRAP 1 has not been implemented due the fact that the budget reporting standard has not been developed by the local standard setter and the international standard is not effective for this financial year. Although the inclusion of budget information would enhance the usefulness of the financial statements, non-disclosure will not affect the objective of the financial statements.
The following prescribed standards of General Recognised Accounting Practice (GRAP) in terms of Section 91 have been issued but not yet adopted:

Interest is recognised on a time proportion basis which takes into account the effective yield on the asset over the period it is expected to be held.
Revenue includes grant funding received from Provincial Government and sundry income and is recognised on an accrual basis.
Revenue of fees charged for applications, appeals, registrations, transfers, fines, removals and annual licence fees in respect of liquor licences in accordance with the Eastern Cape Liquor Act (No. 10 of 2003) is paid to, and recognised by, the Department of Economic Development and Environment Affairs.

Where it has not been possible to allocate a receipt to a specific category of revenue or to match the same with a specific licensee, the receipt is allocated to the Licence Fee Control account pending reconciliation and subsequent allocation to the revenue pay over account.
Other income (commission and interest received) is recognised in the Statement of Financial Performance.
1 . 4 . P ro p e r t y, p l a n t a n d e q u i p m e n tProperty Plant and Equipment are initially recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation less any accumulated impairment loss losses. Cost includes all costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to its working condition for its intended usage.
Property, plant and equipment is recognised if it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flowtotheentity,andwherethecostoftheitemcanbereliablemeasured.
Depreciation is calculated on a systematic basis over their useful lives and charged to the Statement of Financial Performance for the periods under review. Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item is depreciated separately.
The depreciation rates applicable to each category of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
Motor Vehicles 5 YearsComputer Equipment: Hardware 3 Years Software 2 YearsOffice Furniture and Fittings 8 YearsOffice Equipment 5 YearsLeasehold Improvements 5 Years
Gains or losses arising on the disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the statement of financial performance as realised.
Depreciation methods applied to assets are reviewed after the financial year-end. Any significant change in the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in assets will be accounted for through disclosure as a change in accounting estimates.
Property, plant and equipment are reviewed annually for impairment losses and whenever events indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised in respect of the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of an asset’s net selling price and value in use. An impairment loss or a reversal of an impairment loss is
recognised as an expense/income in the statement of financial performance as incurred.
The carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised either on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.
The gains and losses arising from these de-recognition of property, plant & equipment are included in surplus or deficit when the asset is derecognised. The net proceeds from these de-recognition of assets are determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the item.
The residual value and estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment is assessed at the reporting date.
1 . 5 . Le a s e sLeases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases:
1.5.1. Operating Leases:Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
1.5.2. Finance Leases:Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the ECLB at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly to Statement of Financial Performance.
1 . 6 . F i n a n c i a l i n s t r u m e n t sFinancial instruments recorded in the annual financial statements relate to cash and bank balances, receivable, trade creditors, leases and borrowings. The particular recognition methods adopted are disclosed in the individual policy statements associated with each item.
1.6.1. Financial assetsThe entity’s financial assets are bank balances and cash and trade receivables.Trade receivables are stated at their nominal value as reduced by appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts as no interest is charged on overdue accounts.
