Western Cape response
With respect to the 1% variance in terms of non-compliance by NPOs in the case of Mental Health organisations, one NPO, the Cape Albinism and Hypo Pigment Foundation did not comply with terms in the transfer payment agreement entered into with the Department, namely, it did not submit its audited financial statement for the year ending 15/16 nor did it provide evidence for the expenditure of its allocated funds in its quarterly progress reports. In both instances the organisation was provided with an extension period within which to provide the required information, but failed to do so.
Eastern Cape response
With regard to the Eastern Cape organisations there was a problem which relates to the submission of reports. The organisations submitted compliance report that were not aligned with the reporting period in their founding documents. This has resulted in the rejection of the reports within the NPO system. This issue will be dealt with going forward to resolve the difference between financial years in the founding documents submitted to the NPO Directorates and the current organisations operations.
