REPORT OF THE AUDITOR GENERAL ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF KALANGALA DISTRICT LOCAL GOVERNMENT | |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 TH JUNE 2020 | |
THE RT. HON. SPEAKER OF PARLIAMENT | |
Opinion | |
I have audited the accompanying financial statements of Kalangala District Local Government, which comprise the statement of financial position as at 30 th June 2020, the | |
statement of financial performance, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows, together with other accompanying statements for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. | |
In my opinion, the financial statements of Kalangala District Local Government for the year ended 30 th June 2020 are prepared in all material respects, in accordance with section 51 of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA), 2015 and the Financial Reporting Guide, 2018. | |
Basis for Opinion | |
I conducted my audit in accordance with International Standards of Supreme Audit Institutions (ISSAIs). My responsibilities under those standards are further described in the | |
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Statements section of my report. I am independent of the District in accordance with the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda (1995) as amended, the National Audit Act, 2008, the International Organisation of Supreme | |
Audit Institutions (INTOSAI) Code of Ethics, the International Ethics Standards Board for | |
Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and other independence requirements applicable to performing audits of Financial Statements in Uganda. I have fulfilled my ethical responsibilities in accordance with the other requirements | |
and the IESBA Code. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion. | |
Key Audit Matters | |
Key audit matters are those matters that, in my professional judgment, were of most significance in my audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters | |
were addressed in the context of my audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in | |
forming my opinion thereon, and I do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. | |
partial and non-implementation of outputs, diversion of funds and challenges in budget monitoring and reporting of performance. | |
A review of district’s approved work plans and budgets revealed that Kalangala district | |
had an approved budget of UGX.22.65Bn, out of which UGX.15.21Bn was warranted/ | |
availed by the end of the financial year. The total expenditure for the year was UGX.15.19Bn out of which UGX.10.27Bn 1 was spent on non-service delivery activities, | |
such as employee costs and transfers to other units (sub-counties, schools and health | |
centres), implying that only UGX.4.92Bn was available for direct implementation of | |
service delivery outputs. | |
The UGX.4.92Bn that remained was applied for the implementation of one hundred | |
and twenty (120) outputs from which I sampled thirty- seven (37) outputs with a | |
budget of UGX.11.66Bn and expenditure of UGX.3.93Bn representing 80% of the total resources spent on implementation of activities as shown in the table below. | |

The outbreak of the Covid Pandemic affected the implementation of the 2019/20 budget for a number of entities especially implementation of activities in the last half | |
of the financial year. A number of activities were not implemented as a result of | |
budget cuts and the lock down measures instituted to control the spread of the pandemic. | |

1.3 Accountability of funds Paragraph 10.10.1 of the Treasury Instructions, 2017 requires that all payments must be adequately supported with sufficient details to enable them to be checked without reference to other documents I reviewed expenditure records availed and noted the following; All funds were accounted for at the time of completing the audit commended the Accounting officer for ensuring the all the funds were accounted for.I | |
- Accountabilities for all the funds were not doubtful. | |
- No Accountabilities for the funds were forged. | |
Other Matter | |
In addition to the matters raised above, I consider it necessary to communicate the | |
following matter other than those presented or disclosed in the financial statements. | |
3.0 Understaffing | |
A review of the District structure and establishment revealed that the District has an | |
approved staffing structure of 583 (64%) out of 911 positions leaving 328 (36%) posts vacant as shown in the table below. | |
S/N Post Title Salary Scale No. of approved Posts No. of filled posts No. of vacant posts | |
1 Deputy Chief Administrative Officer U1SE 1 0 1 | |
2 Principal Human Resource Office (Secretary DSC) U2 1 0 1 | |
3 Accountant U4 1 0 1 | |
4 Principal Internal Auditor U2 1 0 1 | |
5 Principal Agricultural Officer U2 1 0 1 | |
6 Principal Veterinary Officer U3 1 0 1 | |
7 Principal Entomologist U2 1 0 1 | |
8 District Commercial Officer U1E 1 0 1 | |
Total 8 0 8 | |
It was further observed that there are 8 notable critical positions that are required to | |
be filled urgently. | |
Understaffing overstretches the available staff beyond their capacity, creates job- | |
related stress to the fewer and negatively affects service delivery. | |
The Accounting officer explained that the district has continued to budget for some of the positions such as in secondary and tertiary institutions but the District neither has control nor funds to fill the positions. He further explained that 34 positions were filled | |
consistent with the financial statements or my knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work I have performed, I conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information; I am required to report that fact. | |
I have nothing to report in this regard. | |
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements | |
Under Article 164 of the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda, 1995 (as amended) and | |
Section 45 of the PFMA, 2015, the Accounting Officer is accountable to Parliament for the funds and resources of Kamuli District Local Government. | |
The Accounting Officer is also responsible for the preparation of financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the LGFAM, 2007 and the PFMA, 2015 and for such | |
internal control as management determines necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error. | |
In preparing the financial statements, the Accounting Officer is responsible for assessing | |
the District’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting, unless the Accounting Officer has a realistic alternative to the contrary. | |
Auditor’s Responsibility | |
My objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as | |
a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an | |
auditor’s report that includes my opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, | |
but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISSAIs will always detect | |
a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are | |
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. | |
As part of an audit in accordance with ISSAI’s, I exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. I also: | |
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, | |
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for | |
my opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is | |
higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. | |
required to draw attention in my auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial | |
statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify my opinion. My conclusions | |
are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of my auditor’s report. However, | |
future events or conditions may cause the District to fail to deliver its mandate. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, | |
including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. | |
I communicate with the Accounting Officer regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant | |
deficiencies in internal control that I identify during my audit. | |
I also provide the Accounting Officer with a statement that I have complied with relevant | |
ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with him/her all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on my independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. | |
From the matters communicated with the Accounting Officer, I determine those matters that | |
were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and | |
are therefore the key audit matters. I describe these matters in my auditor’s report unless | |
law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare | |
circumstances, I determine that a matter should not be communicated in my report because | |
the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. | |
Other Reporting Responsibilities | |
In accordance with Section 19 (1) of the National Audit Act, 2008, I report to you, based on | |
my work described on the audit of Financial Statements, that; except for the matters raised | |
in compliance with legislation section below, and whose effect has been considered in forming my opinion on financial statements, the activities, financial transactions and information reflected in the financial statements that have come to my notice during the audit, are in all material respects, in compliance with the authorities which govern them | |
Report on the Audit of Compliance with Legislation | |
The material findings in respect of the compliance criteria for the applicable subject matters | |
are as follows; | |
- Acquired in compliance with Government vehicle acquisition guidelines; | |
Comprehensively recorded in the assets register to ensure their proper | |
management; | |
Adequately allocated, operated and utilized to enable delivery of public service; Properly and regularly maintained to achieve optimal performance, increased | |
useful lives and reduced running costs; and | |
Disposed in compliance with PPDA guidelines, and disposal proceeds are properly | |
accounted for. | |
The study took a scope of three financial years: 2017/18-2019/20. From the | |
procedures undertaken, I noted the following key observations; | |
S/N. Key Observations Audit Recommendation/ Comment | |
4.1 A review of the 16 vehicles owned by the district revealed the following;It was noted that the district did not acquire any vehicle in the financial years under review and therefore was not required to comply with Circular Letter Ref; BDP/86/107/03 dated 15 th May 2019 from the Permanent Secretary and Secretary to the Treasury to all Accounting Officers regarding purchase of vehicles by all LGs during FY 2019/20.Kalangala Districts did not undertake a needs assessment required under Paragraph 8.6.2 of the Treasury Instructions (Tis), since there was no budget and funding for purchase of vehicles.ACQUISITION OF MOTOR VEHICLES Funding During the three (3) financial years: 2017/18-2019/20; Kalangala District did not budget for the acquisition of vehicles from government or project funding.Furthermore, | |
4.2 guidelines I noted that the District did not have a policy on Motor vehicle management to guide the usage and eliminate theft, losses, wastage and misuse of motor vehicles. This affects the entity’s ability to address its unique motor vehicle challenges which may not be envisaged in the standing Orders and Treasury Accounting Instructions.Failure to have a specific Vehicle Management Policy affects the District’s ability to address its unique motor vehicle challenges which may not be envisaged in the standing Orders and Treasury Instructions.Motor Vehicle Usage 1.3.1 Existence of a fleet management policy andThe Accounting Officer explained that the district had embarked on formulating the policy on motor vehicle management and seek approval of council. advised the Accounting Officer to expedite the formulation and approval process of the fleet management policy so as to operationalize the policy.I | |
4.3 Failure to maintain Fuel Registers Section 16.3.1 of the Treasury Instructions, 2017 requires the Accounting Officer to put in place measures to eliminate theft, losses, wastage and misuse of vehicles. Furthermore, await the outcome of the Accounting officer’s actions.I | |
Section 7(c) (F - i) of the public Service standing orders requires every Ministry, Department or Local Government to designate an officer to be in charge of transport matters, who shall among other duties, maintain a fuel register on any Government vehicle and carry out monthly fuel reconciliation exercises. I noted that whereas the District designated a Transport Officer responsible for transport matters, fuel registers were not maintained for all the motor vehicles held by the District. Appendix iii (a) refers.a result monthly fuel reconciliation exercises were also notto maintainundertaken. The Accounting officer acknowledged the observation and promised fuel reconcile consumption for fuel monthly as advised.registers andAs | |
4.4 Failure to maintain proper vehicle log books A review of log books 15 vehicles held by the District revealed that none had been updated on a weekly basis with journeys made, fuel and maintenance costs duly certified by an authorizing Officer. Appendix iii (b) refers.was caused by management’s failure to enforce compliance with the existing Public Service Standing Orders. The failure to maintain vehicle log books makes it difficult for management to track vehicle movements, fuel usage and vehicle maintenance expenditure. This in turn may lead to misuse of vehicles for unauthorized journeys or purposes.Accounting Officer explained that management had started the procurement process of the Log-Books for all the Government vehicles in the District.ThisThe await the outcome of the Accounting officer’s actions.I | |
4.5 Absence of Annual Motor Vehicle Inspections I noted from the review vehicle maintenance records for 15 vehicles (100%) of sampled that all the vehicles had not been inspected as shown in Appendix iii(c).Accounting Officer explained that management will include the annual inspection of vehicles budget in the integrated budget of the District.The await the outcome of the Accounting officer’s actions.I | |
4.6 Un-updated Asset Management Module Financial Management system Paragraph 10.13.4 of the Treasury Instructions, 2017 requires all fixed assets acquisitions to be captured in the fixed assets module of the Government Computerized Financial Management Information System (GFMIS).in theI noted that 3 motor vehicles (100%) acquired at a cost of UGX.482,826,460 over the period under review were not posted onto the Asset Management module in the Integrated Financial Management system (IFMS) as at the end of the financial year 2019/2020. Appendix iv refers.This was attributed to management’s failure to enforce compliance with asset management guidelines.Non-recording of the assets in the assets management await the outcome of the Accounting officer’s actions.I | |
module in the IFMS, may lead to misstatement of assets recorded in the financial statements, and may cause challenges in reconciliation of the fixed assets register using system information. The Accounting officer explained that the manual Assets Register was being transferred to the Digital system to comply with the management guidelines. | |
4.7 Support to Entity Service Delivery A review of the vehicle allocation to key service centers in the district revealed that all 13 departments were not adequately allocated vehicles. Appendix v refers.allocation of vehicles to the above district departments/units affected the supervision and monitoring efforts of those department/units, thus affecting the level of service delivery to health and educational supervisions, audit of lower local governments among other field visits by departments.in regardAccounting officer explained that management was going to make special requests to the MDA’s and other donors for motor vehicles to ease the service delivery.InadequateThe await the outcome of the Accounting officer’s actions.I | |
4.8 Vehicle Maintenance 1.3.2 Maintenance of Motor Vehicle Service Analysis Records A review of repair and maintenance records indicated that the repair and service analysis register for fifteen (15) vehicles had no service analysis records. I further observed that the Transport Officer did not maintain a service chart for all the 16 vehicles. Details are in Appendix vi. This was caused by the failure by management to enforce compliance with Fleet Management guidelines and policies. Failure to keep track of vehicle service using the service chart may cause delayed servicing, which in turn could lead to fast ageing of vehicles and high vehicle maintenance and replacement costs. The Accounting Officer explained that The Transport Officer in conjunction with District Engineer’s Office will ensure that records regarding services, maintenance and general repairs are well maintained. await the outcome of the Accounting officer’s actions.I | |
5.1 Kalangala Health Centre IV 5.1.1 Lack of adequate medical equipment at the Kalangala and Bukasa Health Centre IVs | |
Section 7.26 to 7.28 of Health Sector Service standards & Service delivery standards, | |
2016 defines the appropriate functional equipment and tools required for handling normal delivery, resuscitation of new born, and emergency care and resuscitation of mothers. | |

- Staffing level Review of the staff structure and establishment revealed that 22 positions were | |
filled out of 48 leading to a staffing level of 46%. Notable critical positions that | |
need immediate attention are: In charge HC IV i.e. Senior Medical Officer, Medical | |
Officer, Nursing officer – mid-wife, Anesthesia officer and Dispenser. The unit is currently headed by a Senior Clinical Officer. | |
- Status of infrastructure | |
Audit inspections revealed that the Outpatient department (OPD) require | |
renovations. The Operation theatre structure require reconstruction and installation | |
of theatre equipment as the HSD currently lacks a functional theatre. Additionally, other structures like the General ward and Maternity ward require renovations while | |
the Doctor’s house requires renovated and a new pit latrine. Refer to the table | |
below for details. | |

3. d i ti n Doctor’s House The house has not been renovated since its construction and the pit latrine needs replacement. | |
The Accounting officer explained that the Regional Medical Maintenance Workshop | |
that is responsible for equipment maintenance on a quarterly basis has been carrying | |
out part repairs but lacks spares. He further explained that the facilities lack a | |
radiographer to operate the ultrasound machine because the post does not exist in the staff structure. | |
I advised the Accounting officer to liaise with the Ministry of public service address the | |
challenges. | |
6.0 Follow up on implementation of UgIFT | |
During last year’s audit process, it was noted that a number of Districts had commenced construction works on seed secondary schools under the Education Sector and upgrade /construction of Health Center II to IIIs under the Health Sector which | |
were not completed and were carried forward to this audit year with their funds re budgeted. | |
I made a follow up focusing on assessing; | |
The appropriateness of the project planning and implementation in terms of | |
quantity and cost; | |
The level of implementation of the works against the agreed contracts approved | |
and work plans and outputs; | |
The usage, functionality and quality of the infrastructure works in the schools | |
and health centres. | |
Based on my audit I made the following observations; | |
6.1 Construction of Bubeke Health Centre III | |
The District commenced construction works on Kitayunjwa seed secondary school under the Education Sector in the FY 2018/2019 as shown in the table below. | |

Additionally, the Placenta pit and the Medical waste pit had not yet been done. | |
Delayed completion was attributed to change in design due to terrain set-up which | |
required approvals and delay in release of funds from the ministry for the outstanding balance. | |
Delayed completion of the Health centre deprives the community of improved health care services. | |
The Accounting officer explained that management had engaged the contractor to | |
ensure that the project is completed. | |
I await the outcome of the Accounting officer’s action. | |
6.2 Inspections at Kachanga Seed secondary school | |
The District contracted M/s MMACKS Investments Ltd at a cost of UGX. 2,125,417,275. | |

paid. The contract start date was 28 th Apr 2019 and completion date; 27 th Apr 2021. Inspections Carried out on 16/11/20 revealed that works were at different stages as | |
shown in the photos below; | |

the project is completed in time. | |
7.0 Works-Implementation of Uganda Road Fund (URF) | |
Audit was under taken on funds received by the district from Uganda road funds with | |
specific objectives of ascertaining whether the budgeted amount was fully released and spent in line with the intended purposes, programme activities were implemented in accordance with the work plan and to the desired quality, achieved out puts have | |
been presented and disclosed in accordance with the Financial Reporting Framework. | |
The following was noted; | |

Culverts installed lacked end structures to protect them from damage by vehicles. This was evidenced in the picture where culverts are damaged by vehicles. | |
Damaged culverts at point 3+600km. | |
The defects identified limit the quality of road services accessed by the community. | |
The Accounting officer explained that the District had started the process of rectifying caved in culverts, construction of the end structures, remove bottlenecks and widening of all offshoots inclined off the road and elongated to improve the discharge of water from the roadway. | |
I await the outcome of the Accounting officer’s action. | |
