Storyboard Text
- Hi B. My manager informed me that the project proposal has been signed off by the AO and that the project will be implemented via a transfer payment mechanism. Please will you explain how the transfer payment mechanism is different to the supply chain payment process?
- Transfer and Subsidy categories
- Ok I get it but what about transferring funds to a beneficiary to purchase equipment for the business? Would this be considered as a procurement process?
- Transfers and subsidies include all unrequited payments made by the department. A payment is unrequited provided that the department does not receive anything of similar value directly in return for the transfer to the other party.
- Yes, that makes sense!
- What you are describing is an example of a capital transfer, these form part of transfers and subsidies. The business will procure the equipment for their own use, so the department does not receive anything in return
- Thank you B, I have a much better understanding now.
- Section 38(1)(j) of the PMFA states that:
- Before transferring any funds (other than grants in terms of the annual Division of Revenue Act or to a constitutionalinstitution) to an entity within or outside government, must obtain a written assurance from the entity that that entityimplements effective, efficient and transparent financial management and internal control systems
