The annual financial statements of the issuer have been audited by The Auditor General of South Africa, who
have issued an unqualified audit opinion.
The City of Ekurhuleni’s 2016/17 comparative figures were restated due to material errors that were identified
and reclassification of amounts which were previously disclosed. Presented below are those items contained in
the statement of financial position and statement of financial performance that have been affected by prior-year
adjustments
Property plant and equipment, investment property, projects completed prior years were only capitalised
in the current year as projects close out reports were provided the current year, and certain projects were
derecognised as they did not meet the subsequent capitalisation requirements.
Other assets were reclassified between the asset categories as they either categorised incorrectly
between the various types, were found or removed from the relating registers.
Other property, plant and equipment and other property, plant and equipment: buildings, were previously
shown as one line item, due to significant amounts in other property, plant and equipment, management
deemed it fit to separate the line items.
Other investments - There was an error on the investment schedule used for the accrual of interest
income.
The correction of the errors results in adjustments as follows (identified in 2018):
