Consequently the Basic Education sector of the ELRC has to subsidise the deficit in the Higher Education and Training budget. 3. The budgeted income for 2009/2010 is based on a levy of R10 which is the same as in the previous year. 38 NOTES TO BUDGET (Continued…) As at end of first quarter 30 June 2009 the reserve funds stands at R30,489,335. These funds are insufficient to carry us up to year 2011/2012. We require an additional R19,587,144 to carryout all functions in year 2011/12 and 2012/13. Savings in previous years would enable accumulation of funds which can be used in year 2011/12 and 2012/13.

CONCLUSION With the variation of the scope of Council to include the FETC sector the Council’s operation has been broadened to include Basic Education and Higher Education and Training. As from the 1st July 2009 operations were also separated into 2 areas namely: Basic Education (PART A – page 17) Higher Education and Training (PART B – page 203) 54 CONCLUSION (Cont..) The income of the FETC sector however is insufficient to meet their expenditure. Consequently the Basic Education sector of the ELRC has to subsidise the deficit in the Higher Education and Training budget. – page 15 Higher Education and Training Income Vs.

On Behalf of the Accounting Authority of the ELRC, the Executive Committee and the Audit Committee members, we convey our gratitude to you for assisting the Council in fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of the quality and integrity of the accounting, auditing and reporting practices of the ELRC and other duties as were directed by the Council from time to time. For all the wisdom and the valuable time spent ensuring that the Council did not falter on its role to focus on the qualitative aspects of financial reporting to its stakeholders. THANK YOU
