mSCOA RoadmapThe road already travelled and the way forward: Recap
mSCOA Project Phases: The journey to the checkered flag Regulation issued and commissioning of mSCOA Project Phase 4: Change manageme and piloting including identification of pilots Kick off engagements with municipalities, vendors and other stakeholders agement Piloting commencement with 9 pilot municipalities (local and districts) and 4 Metro s (City of Cape Town, Ekuruleni, Mangaung and Buffalo City) Phased over 2015/16 and 2016/17) Vendors were briefed as to development of mSCOA and initial evaluations of system functionality. Ensuring that piloting municipalities and system functionality is aligned to the compliance requirements of the Regulation will create an enabling environment for the roll out to non-piloting municipalities Remaining metro s to implement (pilot) mSCOA and project initiation for the non-piloting municipalities 278 municipalities fully mSCOA compliant 6 6
Common misconceptionsand miscommunication by stakeholders GRAP versus mSCOA classification framework mSCOA not GRAP compliant is a total misconception Materiality and the fact that mSCOA is prescriptive in this regard each municipality is responsible for the determination and application of their own accounting policies Annual financial statements and the application of function versus nature Function Segment covers disclosure of function and item covers disclosure of nature mSCOA has been designed to the requirements of a specific stakeholder i.e. metropolitan municipalities mSCOA has been designed for all municipalities and the grid structure across the Segments provides for this differentiation The Project Segment is limited to Capital Projects The Project Segment is the departure point for both operational and capital appropriations and directly informs the transactional environment Not all stakeholders are part and parcel of this Regulation i.e. OAG, AGSA, ASB etc All stakeholders and decision makers are on board There is accredited training on mSCOA there is no accredited training and no service provider has the right to provide such training
