NATIONAL AIDS CONTROL COUNCIL TOWA PROJECT

TOWA ANNUAL REPORT JUNE 2014

The Total War against HIV and AIDS (TOWA) project was financed through a credit from

the International Development Association (IDA). The project, which was coordinated by

the National AIDS Control Council (NACC) , contributes to the partnership in the national

response to HIV and AIDS as articulated in the Kenya National HIV and AIDS Strategic

Plans (KNASP-2005/2006 -2008/2009 and 2009/2010-2012/2013). The objectives of the

TOWA project were to:

• Expand the coverage of targeted HIV and AIDS prevention and mitigation interventions.

• Expand access to bed nets among targeted people living with HIV and AIDS and

other households in malaria risk areas.

The two main project components were:

• Strengthening the Governance and Coordination Capacity of the National AIDS Control

·,.Council (NACC).

• ·supporting program implementation by making financial resources available to Civil

Society Organizations (CSOs), private sector and the public sector, for target activities ,. identified through the Joint Annual Programme Review (JAPR)

CSOs and private sector Sub-Project Implementing entities (PSls) participated through

submission of proposals in response to Call for Proposals (CfP) made by NACC. The

proposals were submitted and approved at three levels: National Ad-hoc Committee,

District Technical Committee (OTC) and Constituency AIDS Control Committee (CACC).

Once approved the proposals are forwarded to the Project Co-ordination Office at NACC

headquarters for administrative review.

PricewaterhouseCoopers Kenya was the Financial Management Agency (FMA) charged

with the responsibility of disbursement of funds and review of accountability reports from

approved sub-project implementing entities (PSls) operating at all administrative levels of

the country.

NATIONAL AIDS CONTROL COUNCIL TOWA PROJECT

The TOWA project was expected to close officially on the 31st of December 2013.

However, due delays in accessing funds, the project closure date was extended to June

30th 2014.

During the financial period under review, NACC did not disburse funds to Project Sub '

Implementers (PSls). Instead, NACC focused efforts on following up accountability from

implementers. As at the closure date the accountability from PSls stood at 99% of all the

disbursements made.

, ,.

The auditors duly reported to me the results of their audit. On the basis of my reviews and their reports, I am satisfied that all information and explanations which , to the best of my knowledge and belief, were necessary for the purpose of the audit were obtained.

The Objectives and Scope

The terms of Reference for the CPAs were as follows:-

• To visit and confirm existence of each and every Project Service Implementer (PSI). Due to the spread of the implementers in the country, it was important for the CPAs to ascertain that the implementers actually existed and applied to NACC for the funding and the method used to identify the PSls.

• To review and confirm that Financial Management Agent (FMA) performed due diligence on the approved proposals to determine if the identified organizations

,. had capacity to implement the projects.

• To confirm that funds given to the FMA by NACC were fully supported and accounted for and disbursed in line with approved list of proposals for fund ing. In particular to confirm that disbursements in the FMA records are traced in the Bank statements and records of the organization for 2013/2014 financial year;

• To establish that proper books/records of account have been maintained and are in agreement with the supporting documents, information and explanations obtained from NACC, FMA and PSls.

• To establish that the expenditure was incurred in accordance with the Grant Agreement signed by the implementing agency and in accordance with the approved proposals and work plans by the PSls.

• To ascertain that the funds received were used in accordance with the conditions of the grant agreement with attention to the economy and efficiency and only for the purpose which the financing was provided . That goods and services obtaineCil from third parties were procured in accordance with the relevant procurement procedures. That all the necessary supporting documents, records and accounts have been kept in respect of all reported expenditures;

2

Page 12: KENYA NATIONAL AUDIT OFFICE · Act, 2003. The audit was conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing . . Those standards require compliance with ethical requirements

• To ensure that proper records/ books have consistently been prepared in accordance with the accountability guidelines issued by the FMA and in accordance with the International Public Sector Accounting (IPSAS) and give a true and fair view of the expenditure of the project;

• To identify any systemic issues including internal control weakness, accountability concerns and noncompliance with the project legal documents and GOK financial regulations and procedures.

• To determine and quantify any ineligible expenditure or funds used for the purposes not intended in the project as per the Legal Agreement and GOK regulations.

• To cover a sample of at least 20% of PSls or at least 30% of the monetary value of funds disbursed to the PSls in the allocated region for the period ended 30 June 2014.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The · 6irectors of the National AIDS Control Council (NACC) are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with lnternation9I Public Sector Accounting Standards (Accrual Basis) and for such internal control as directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Directors are also responsible for the submission of the financial statements to the Auditor-General in accordance with the provisions of Section 13 of the Public Audit Act, 2003.

Auditor-General's Responsibility

My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on the audit and report in accordance with the provisions of Section 15(2) of the Public Audit Act, 2003. The audit was conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing . . Those standards require compliance with ethical requirements and that .the . audit be planned and performed t~ obtain reasonable assurance about whether the: financial statements are free from material misstatement.

Page 13: KENYA NATIONAL AUDIT OFFICE · Act, 2003. The audit was conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing . . Those standards require compliance with ethical requirements

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 tile 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 Project's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

I believe that the audit evidence obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my qualified audit opinion .

Basis for Qualified Opinion

1. 0 ,. Results of the Audit of the Financial Statements

1.1 Trade and Other Receivables

Trade and other receivables figure as at 30 June 2014 of Kshs.127,458,655 includes advances to the Financial Management Agency amounting to Kshs.109,752,890.00 (Per note 7 to the Financial Statements) which form the bulk of the receivables. According to the 3 Addendum to the contract for consultants' services (lump-sum) between NACC and FMA dated 18 January 2013, the contract was extended to 30 June 2013. The final FMA report was received in January 2014. However, the contractual obligation for the Financial Management Agency to account for the advances was affected by the lapse of time stipulated in the contract document which put into jeopardy the legal redress available to NACC to recover the advances from the Agency. Further, the receivable figure includes Kshs.13,015,733.00 due from field officers and Kshs.2,773,583.00 in respect of Constituency AIDS goordir:iating Committee (CACC) advance~ whose recoverability is also . doubtful a.s the project h~s coi:ne to an . e[:ld . . ··In adqiti_on the ·receivables figure .includes staff imprests of Kshs.58,000.00 d.ue from. an officer .who no longer works for .

lri the circumstances, it has not been possible to confirm the recoverability of.trade and other receivables balance of Kshs.127,458,655:

1.2 Trade and Other Payables

Included in the trade and other payables balance as at 30 June 2014 of Kshs.103,651,872.00 is an amount of Kshs.14,536,712.00 attributed to GOK-D control account which was incurred for TOWA project activities from the account without authority from the Treasury. This amount was not budgeted for and had not been reimbursed by the donor to GOK account as at 30 June 2014. In the circumstances, the reimbursement of Kshs.14,~36,712.00 to GOK is doubtful as the project has already closed.

2. Results of the Audit of Funds Distributed to SPls by Appointed Auditors

2.1 Audit of NACC and FMA

Delay in Project Fund Disbursements

Review of the Project disbursements indicated that the FMA during the financial year ended 30th June 2014, applied for Kshs.13,720,019 based on approved proposals and work plan. However, the total amount applied for was not disbursed by the close of the projett. The implication of this observation is that proposals reviewed and approved for funding in the FY 2013/2014 were not funded as planned. These delays in disbursement heavily distorted the project implementation plans, resulting in poor project impact.

~

2.2 Audit of Ministries and other SAGAs involved in TOWA Project Implementation

Audit of sampled Ministries and SAGAs reviewed that the said entities incurred unsupported expenditure amounting to Kshs.300,000 and had un-applied balance of Kshs.4,958,234. Results of a sample selection of 22 out of a population of 56 entitities were as follows:

2.4 Management issues

2.4.1 Poor Book Keeping

Of the sampled 421 PS1.s, it was noted that poor record keeping was the most prevalent control weakness among the PSls. 256 of the 421 PSls did not keep proper books of Account. This translates into 61 % of the population. Failure to keep proper books of Account may result in some Project Funds not being accounted for.

2.4.2 Lack of Accounting Records

Of the 421 PS1 s sampled 183 or 43% of them did not keep accounting records at all. This is a major control weakness as funds may not have been accounted for. ·• . ,

2.4.3 Bank Reconciliations

106 of the 421 PS ls, did not perform bank reconciliations. This translated to failure by 25% of the sampled population to adhere to a key control procedure.

2.4.4 Non - Existence of SPls

· Fifty four (54) SPls were found not to exist. This may have resulted in project funds being disbursed to ghost SPls. , ....

2.4.5 Other control weaknesses • Seven (7) of the sampled and existing PSI did have written procedures. • Two (2) PSI did not have asset registers.

• Twenty one (21) PS ls did not have established Headquarters • Twenty eight (28) SPls did not have qualified staff

• Fifty seven (57) SP1 s did not have terms of reference • Eighty six (86) SPls did not have registration certificates

• Sixty six (66) SPls incurred unauthorised expenditure • Ninety three (93) SPls did not support their expenditure

• Fifty one (51) PSls did not have contract documents

• Fourteen (14) SPls didnot refund their balances

Qualified Opinion

In my opinion, except for the effect of the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the financial statements present fairly in all material respects, the financial position of the Project as at 30 June 2014, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with International Public Sector Accounting Standards (Accrual Basis) and comply with the Financing Agreement No.4336 - KE and CR. No 4841-KE.

'

In addition, the special account statement presents fairly, transactions for the year and the ending balance has been reconciled with the books of account.

Emphasis of the Matter

Ineligible. Expenditure

From the audit review ineligible expenditure incurred by SAGAs and the Ministries is recoverable by World Bank. However, World Bank may consider mitigating factors in deciding recoverability of ineligible expenditure by PS ls due to:

.,. ,. 1) Inherent weakness in the design and architecture of Community Driven Development Projects (COD) where audit trail is difficult to execute. ·

2) There are no elaborate structures to achieve adequate internal and accounting controls at the tail end of Project Implementation.

My opinion is not qualified in respect to this matter.

NATIONAL AIDS CONTROL COUNCIL TOWA PROJECT

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JUNE 2014

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below:

1.1 Statement of compliance and basis of preparation

The TOWA project financial statements have been prepared in accordance with and comply with International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) with particular emphasis on Accrual Basis Financial Reporting under the Accrual Basis of Accounting . The statement of cash flows has been prepared using the indirect method.

The financial statements are presented in Kenya Shillings, which is the functional and reporting currency of the Project and all values are rounded to the nearest one Shilling. The accounting policies adopted have been consistently applied to all of the years presented .

The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis following the Grant agreement's expenditure categories. The accrual basis of accounting recognises transactions when they occur and not necessarily when cash is received or paid out

~ ,. by the Project.

i. In-kind donations

ln-'kind donations are contributions made to the Project in the form of actual goods and/or services rather than in money or cash terms. These donations may include vehicles, equipment or personnel services. Where the financial value of in-kind donations can be reliably determined, the Project includes such value in the statement of financial performance both as revenue and as an expense in equal and opposite amounts; otherwise, the donation is not recorded .

ii. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and cash at bank. Bank account balances include amounts held at various commercial banks at the end of the financial year/period. For the purposes of these financial statements, cash and cash equivalents do not include short term cash imprests and advances to authorised public officers and/or institutions which had not been surrendered or accounted for at the end of the financial year/period .

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

iii. Pending bills (Accounts payable)

Pending bills consist of unpaid liabilities at the end of the financial year/period arising from contracted goods or services during the year/period or in past years/periods. When the pending bills are finally settled, such payments are included in the statement of statem~nt of financial position and statement of cash flows in the year in which the payments are made.

iv. Budget

The budget is developed on the cash basis, for the entire project period. The Project's budget was approved as required by Law and National Treasury Regulations, as well as by the participating development partners, as detailed in the project grant agreement.

v. Exchange rate differences

The accounting records are maintained in the functional currency of the primary , ,. economic environment in which the Project operates, Kenya Shillings. Transactions in

.. foreign currencies during the year/period are converted into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Any foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statements of receipts and payments.

vi. Comparative figures

vii.

Where necessary comparative figures for the previous financial year/period have been amended or reconfigured to conform to the required changes in financial statement presentation.

Subsequent events

There have been no events subsequent to the financial year/period end with a significant impact on the financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2014.
