Debt management: Debt is a source of pressure in the PSIRA budget. Debt arises from the annual fees, fines, penalties and interest that are billed to registered security service providers, but due to the lack of capacity in the revenue management department of PSIRA they use an agency to collect long-outstanding debt. For the year ended 31 March 2012, PSIRA wrote off uncollected debt to the amount of R82.5 million (2010/11: R75.5 million). The number of accounts written off as uncollectable is 6 005. PSIRA reported that bad debt write-offs results in the withdrawal of registration of the service providers who fail to pay in terms of the PSIRA Act.
