Benefit to the Municipality
Prevent resources being lost due to focusing on uncollectable debt.
Profiling each debtor within the debtors book
The Municipalities are struggling to maximize revenue collection due to the following reasons:
Not identifying the debt categories correctly that are mainly attributing
to the amount owed into:
-
Commercial Debtors
-
Government Debtors
-
Residential Debtors
Normally this is a very challenging category for the Municipalities.
Correctly identify misallocated debtors within the debtor’s book that are deserving indigents thus improving collectability.
Amanquhe also gives you the debt owed by Government employees.
As per the amendment of the MSCH Schedule 2 Section 10 THE REQUIREMENT: “All public servants, elected office bearers and other state employees who are in arrears with their Municipal bills for a period over 90 days (including The Municipal employees).”
Determining the bad debt provision, thus addressing the debt provision basis queried by the Auditor General. The Auditor General has queries for most municipalities regarding the debt provision as there is no basis of calculation by the municipalities.
Advise on debtors we’ve confirmed deceased. This process will assist the Municipality with its budgeting processes to be more accurate on the expected revenue.
In a nutshell,
normally the value
of debtors is very questionable
and cannot be justified.
- Data integrity within the municipal debtor’s book and thus debtors are not even aware of the outstanding debt.
- Experience has shown that revenue for clients with incorrect / incomplete address information cannot be collected on time, or at all.
- Minimal collections also contribute to the weak cash flow statuses in municipalities, to an extent where conditional grants are used for operations.
- The invoices and statements might be going to incorrect addresses, which results in the fruitless expenditure.
