SACCO is a member. It is regulated & supervised by the Ministry of Trade, Industries and Cooperatives. Membership is at 1237. It has a BOD and management team distributed across the country in all regions. The Headquarters is at Maganjo.

• It is not easy to manage a SACCO for professionals like Accountants. He therefore commended the BOD for their efforts. He advised all SACCO members to be involved in planning and other SACCO activities.

Pledged

• The most important reason for the AGM was to transparently account to members. For some SACCOs, it takes more than 3 years to get a surplus; the reported profit of 3.8m in a year is a good achievement.

• SACCO strength is derived from numbers. Therefore, it is beneficial to consider other options and to benchmark.

• The Union discourages its members from sourcing external funding (especially from money lenders and commercial banks) because of the soaring interest rates. This could easily lead to the collapse of the SACCO.

• According to the audited financial statements, on average each member has bought only 1.5 shares and savings of 15,000 per month, in the last 2 years. This is deplorable. If we think saving is important we have to change the game.

• Members need to agree on a minimum monthly saving so as to grow the SACCO. If each of the 200 members bought 5 shares each year in 5 years, the SACCO would have 500m (if that was a target). The benefit of using own funds is that interest on savings is paid to members. Members share dividends from the increased profits instead of paying this to a 3rd party (lender), and the interest rates are much lower than those for commercial banks. That is the beauty of being a Cooperator.

• That training is one of the cooperative principles, this should involve training of the BOD, members and staff.

• Cooperators that there will be an international conference this year in Kenya-Mombasa from 27-30 October 2015, the SACCO is encouraged to participate.

• That UCSCU partnered with a Kenyan Insurance Co (CIC) which offers Risk Management Insurance to SACCOs. There’s an opportunity to buy shares in CIC starting October 2015.

• The CPA SACCO BOD for affiliating with UCSCU, for they stand to benefit from synergies in a bigger industry of SACCOs.

• To provide free training to the BOD and staff of CPA SACCO and requested them to send training schedule for proper planning.

3.0. REPORT OF THE BOARD

Guest of Honor,Distinguished Invited Guests, Esteemed CPA SACCO membersFellow co-operators, Ladies and Gentlemen,

On behalf of the Board and management, I am so humbled to welcome you to the 3rd Annual General Meeting of the CPA SACCO Limited. I congratulate you upon reaching our third year of operation, many do not live to see even their 1st birthday, and we have achieved it. However, we need to keep the fire burning. As members of CPA SACCO family, this is where we put our heads together for a common goal to review our performance and prepare for the progress in our CPA union to enrich ourselves while growing our professional SACCO.

In a special way, I take this opportunity to thank the Guest of Honour for accepting to bless this ceremony with his presence.

Esteemed delegates, let us observe a minute of silence to remember one of our beloved members who passed on during the past year, the late Opowo Betty Okoth. May her soul rest in peace.

Allow me to inform you that the two year term period for the current Board and the SUPCO has expired, therefore, before the closure of this meeting we shall elect a new Board and SUPCO to lead the SACCO for the next two years (2016-2018) as provided for in our By-laws and the Cooperative Societies Act Cap. 112. Members will be elected in a democratic way of one member one vote subject to eligibility criterion that was circulated to you earlier.

The Board is comprised of 7 members three of whom have voluntarily retired that is the General Secretary and one ordinary Board member, which leaves 4 members eligible for one other term. For the purpose of ensuring continuity, at least some members of the outing Board have to be re-elected.

3.1. Resultsofthefinancialyear2015/2016The SACCO registered a surplus of UGX. 25,781,591 and the details are set out in the Audited financial statements. This was a very great achievement by the Board of directors and all of fellow cooperators.

Performance highlights (based on core Business Areas):We achieved a significant percentages growth in our core business areas as tabulated below;

Fund Item Cummulative 2014/15 Cummulative 2015/16 % age Growth

23CPA SACCO Annual Report 2015/16

3.2. Share Capital And Deposits;Our share capital increased significantly by 35% as reflected in the table above over a period of 2 years, Savings also grew significantly by 159%. Members’ assurance of 300% of share capital and 200% of saving regarding accessibility to loans had great influence on share purchase and increase in savings. The higher percentage growth in savings is probably due to growing saving culture which satisfies the reason for our existence.

3.3. Funding Mix:It should be noted that, the Sacco has raised sufficient funds to meet the current operations and investment needs. However, in case need arise beyond the available funds, the Sacco is allowed to access credit facilities up to 500 million which is the maximum liability as fixed at the 2nd Annual General Meeting. Below is the table showing the fund mix.

3.4. Income AnalysisOur income significantly increased from 17 million to 46 million as reflected in the detailed financial report. This reflect a 375% growth and this has been due to increased level of business. Members being the source of income and funding, both areas should be doubled such that they are able to increase our income in the next financial year to achieve better growth rates within ourselves as professional accountants of Uganda.

3.5. Credit OperationsWe were able to increase our loan portfolio from UGX 71 million to UGX 237 million. This increased the level of interest income from UGX 71 to UGX 213 million in the financial year 2015/2016. Members are encouraged to borrow from their own SACCO which is a way of enriching themselves by earning interest on savings, growing their professional SACCO and investment at large. The number of loans also increased from 7 to 18 loans thus increasing the beneficiaries. However, the number of loan applications is still low compared to membership in the SACCO.

YEARS INTEREST INCOME OTHER INCOMES

2015 2,360,964 12,799,805

2016 29,899,716 16,134,000

3.6. Expenditure AnalysisThe Board managed to maintain operating expenses as low as possible by utilizing the available opportunities to do business. Lot more has been saved in terms of rent which would be paid and the marketing expenses are still low because of the opportunity to utilize the ICPAU platform at minimized costs. The operating costs increased especially the interest expense which is an achievement resulting from implementing the savings policy, the administrative and employee expenses also increased but the increase is not proportional to the increase in income. This justifies the efforts by the Board to cut operating costs as much as possible. Below is the summary of the expenditure for the SACCO.

3.10. ChallengesDespite the evident improvement in the financial performance of the SACCO, we are still faced with challenges which are also crucial in gearing the level of income and business as well.

• Limited savings; based on 6 months, the average savings is 15 million and an average of 45 members save regularly. According to the table below, of 305 members each member saves 49,180/= per month by averaging the savings of 45 members only, what ould happen if we all saved.

• Limited share capital purchase; we still have more than 18,500 shares out of the 20,000 authorized share capital, implying that the number of shares issued stands at 1,314 , at a membership 305, on verage, each member owns 4 shares.

• Limited human resource; only have one staff member in charge of all activities.• Limited loan applications by members; inability of members to transact with the SACCO.• Absence on monthly mandatory savings limits the amount of monthly deposits• Membership is still low as compared to the target market• Members inability to transact with the SACCO

3.11. Way forwardIn the FY 2016/17 we plan to implement the following:

• Upon approval by the members at this AGM, we shall implement the 25,000/= mandatory minimum monthly saving and also encourage each member to purchase at least one share per month. If this measure is embraced by all the existing members and the new ones to come, the SACCO will be guaranteed of UGX 2 billion in the next five years. With this kind of funding, the Board will be in position to undertake bigger and more viable investments for the benefit of members.

Five years’ projection for savings and share capital assuming 300 members only, at UGX 25,00 savings per month and 1 share per month for 5 consecutive years.

Fund Members Monthly Amount Year 1 5 YearsSavings 300 25,000 7,500,000 90,000,000 450,000,000 Shares 300 100,000 30,000,000 360,000,000 1,800,000,000 Total 125,000 37,500,000 450,000,000 2,250,000,000

• We strongly suggest to implement the 25,000 mandatory minimum monthly saving and at least purchase of one share by each individual per month. After five years this would guarantee 2 billion. However, this is a bottom line but members are encouraged to even go beyond and we grow our professional SACCO while enriching our selves

• We request all members to get involved in sensitizing and educating Accountants to have more members joining the SACCO remember numbers matter in any economic viable operations. We also request members to be ambassadors in all regions where they stay as we widen our market coverage.

• The second person will be recruited in the next financial year, however given the level of business the pay remains insufficient to maintain staff yet staff maintenance is a key factor for organizational growth.

27CPA SACCO Annual Report 2015/16

• With the authority of the AGM we suggest that employment benefits like medical insurance and overtime is introduced to supplement the salary to motivate the staff to stay for long and grow the SACCO.

• Training and capacity building while focusing on efficiency and effectiveness of both the staff and the BOD members.

CONCLUSION:Once again, we thank you for entrusting us with the responsibility of the CPA SACCO leadership for the past two years up to this particular time. I would like to thank each of you for turning up to this 3rd AGM. Management and Board commits itself to continue working together to keep the positive growth trends of CPA SACCO as we prepare to transform this SACCO into a big financial institution, preferably the Accountant’s Bank as our dream stands.

Let’s all remain focused on our vision and mission as we pursue unlimited opportunities for our members. I therefore call upon you to come up and join the steering team (the Board) for new ideas to grow our SACCO.

In a special way, I would like thank the following;

• The Government of Uganda for fast tracking the revival of cooperatives in Uganda.

• The Ministry of Trade, industry and Cooperatives, for supporting us on legal and technical matters.

• Our partners like; ICPAU, Cooperative Alliance and UCSCU for supporting the cause of CPA SACCO.

I strongly believe, we shall achieve our dream as CPA SACCO members no matter how long it takes to do so.

I wish you good deliberations and a safe journey back home after the meeting,

God bless you all!

For and on behalf of the Board of CPA SACCO Limited

Accountants of Uganda.

(Cap 112) and the Uganda Co-operative Societies’ Regulations 1992. It is also regulated by its

owned by its members, who finance, control and benefit from its products and services.

SACCO’S VISION

“To Become a Benchmark of Accountants’ Business Investments Globally.”

2.3 Audit Approach

I designed my audit approach in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing and the

terms of reference in order to achieve the audit objectives.

The audit was performed using a risk based audit approach, which requires general planning

and identification of areas of audit significance, as well as evaluating risk inherent in significant

accounts.

I reviewed the SACCO operations to ascertain whether they are geared at the implementation

of the intended objectives and whether the execution was in line with the budget.

I performed detailed tests of expenditure incurred by reviewing the evidence supporting the

documents and confirm whether they are related to the SACCO activities.

Specifically, I carried out the following procedures; 2.3.1 Financial Statements

Verified the financial statements prepared to ascertain whether they agree with the accounting

records of the SACCO.

Checked if the financial statements correspond with the SACCO Budget and the Work Plan.

Ascertained the income received by the SACCO detailed on note 2 & 4 (Page 19) of the financial

statements, unutilized fund during the audit i.e. cash in bank and cash at hand have been

disclosed in the statement of financial position on page 13.

Ascertained and reviewed the SACCO debtors and confirmed the due balances from members and

theses have been disclosed.

Carried out substantive tests on the recorded costs to ascertain whether they are supported by third

party documents and reports of the activities carried out, payment vouchers dully cancelled signed

and stamped paid.

Ascertained whether internal appropriate and approved procedures for authorizing disbursements

were adhered to. This was tested by checking requisition forms, payment vouchers and other

payment memos to ensure that they were authorized by the responsible people during the year.

Ascertained whether bills have been marked or cross-referenced and attached to the payment

vouchers for approval of the authorized Board.

Assessed whether financial transactions were completely and adequately recorded in the books of

account.

of the SACCO’s budgeted activities were compliant with the budget.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements

are set out below: -

(a) Basis of preparation

The financial statements of CPA Savings and Credit Co-operative Society Limited have

been prepared in accordance with the IFRS and the requirements of the

Co-operative Societies’ Act (CAP 112). The financial statements are prepared under the

historical cost basis of accounting.

(b) Interest income, Fees, Commissions and other income

Interest income, fees, commissions and other income are generally recognized on an accrual

basis, when the financial service has been provided by the SACCO.

(c)

Loan and advances

Loan and advances are carried at original amount less provision made for impairment

losses. A provision for impairment of loans is established when there is objective evidence

that the SACCO will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms

of the loan. The amount of the provisions is the difference between the carrying amount

and the recoverable amount.

(d) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash at hand, deposits held at call with banks, other

short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less,

including: cash and amounts due from other banks.

CPA SACCO LTD SAVINGS AND CREDIT CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETY LIMITED INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

17

(e) Plant, Property and Equipment

All Plant, Property and Equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation.

Depreciation is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income on the reducing balance

basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of Plant, Property and Equipment

since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic

benefits embodied in the asset.

The annual rates used for this purpose are: -

Computer ……………….………...…..………...33.3%

Office Furniture & Equipment…............20%

(f) Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and

a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

i) Financial assets Initial recognition and measurement

All financial assets are recognized initially using the trade date accounting which is the

date the SACCO commits itself to the purchase. All financial assets are recognized initially

at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit

or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.

Fair value is the amount for which an asset can be exchanged, or a liability settled,

between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm's length transaction. The fair value for

the treasury bills is determined using the quoted bid price at the reporting date.

ii) Financial assets derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the

investments have expired or the company has transferred substantially all risks and

rewards of ownership.

(g) Intangible assets

CPA SACCO LTD acquired a computer software, the software is capitalized on the basis of

the cost incurred to acquire and to bring it to use. The cost is amortised on the basis of

the expected useful life of 3 years.

Costs associated with developing or maintaining computer software programs are

recognized as an expense as incurred. Costs that are directly associated with the

production of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the SACCO, and

that will probably generate economic benefits exceeding costs beyond one year, are

recognized as intangible assets.

Computer software……………………………33.3%

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARYThis report covers period July 2015 to June 30, 2016. The Supervisory committee has not been able to conduct quarterly reviews because of operational challenges within the Committee and from the SACCO; during the year the Supervisory committee worked with two members after one of its members resigned at the beginning of 2016 due to personal commitments. The committee's work was also interrupted by changes in the SACCO personnel during the year. As a result, the committee decided to conduct one comprehensive review covering period July 2015 to June 30, 2016.

This report is in two parts. Part A which gives details of issues noted during the current period 2015/16, and Part B on the status of prior year issues.

The following is a summary of current year issues noted: STAFFING OF THE SACCO

A substantive SACCO Administrator has not yet been hired by the SACCO although interviews were conducted to identify and appoint one. Management responds that they did not identi-fy a suitable person for the post and have decided to extend the exercise to next financial year 2016/17. In view of the current level of transactions, it is increasingly becoming difficult for one person to run the SACCO on a day to day basis. Management should consider hiring an extra person in the SACCO to easy the work load.

LOAN APPROVALS We noted that the credit committee of the SACCO reviews loan applicants, however more care needs to be exercised in reviewing applicants and subsequently granting of loans. This is because cases of loan defaulters ( as far as servicing of the loans is concerned), can be minimized at the time of applying for the loans. A case in point is where a member (no. CSM/0138) was assessed as fit for a loan facility yet the member was servicing three (3) other loans in different financial institutions.The BOD takes note of the observation and the loans committee will improve in analysing appli-cants.

MOBILE MONEY PAYMENTSWe noted that Mobile money payments by members are receipted by the SACCO Administrator who also has the Mobile money Password for withdrawing money. This exposes mobile money transactions to risk of fraud. We recommend that the password of the Mobile money should be restricted to the SACCO Treasure, who should also be in-charge of withdrawing mobile money transactions.

Management responds that receipt of money is an operational activity performed by management and in the current set-up and level of activity the treasurer, who is a board member just supervis-es records.

60 CPA SACCO Annual Report 2015/16

GOVERNANCE We noted for the period under review that 3 of the board members achieved below 50% attend-ance (37.5%, 37.5% and 32.5%). This affects deliberations and quality of decision of the board.We encourage board members to regularly attend meeting of the board so as to improved quality of board decisions. Management notes the observation and points out that several Board deliberations are done on-line in the interest of time and meeting are held to document resolutions.

DETAILED REPORT PART A

CURRENT YEAR OBSERVATION

2.0 STAFFING OF THE SACCO We noted that at the being of the year 2016 interviews for the posts of Administrator and Assistant Administrator were conducted but only Assistant administrator was taken on. Appointment of the Administrator put on hold because management failed to identify a suitable person for the position. However because of the increasing work load, one staff cannot continue to run the SACCO on a day to day basis. Errors and inefficiencies are likely to set in.

Recommendation Consider hiring an extra person in the SACCO to easy the current work load. Management comment

The process is ongoing and the second person will be hired in the course of the financial 2016/2017.

3.0 LOAN APPROVALS The credit committee of the SACCO reviews loan applicants, however more care needs to be exercised in reviewing applicants and subsequently granting of loans. This is because cases of loan defaulters ( as far as servicing of the loans is concerned), can be minimized at the time of applying for the loans. A case in point is where a member (no. CSM/0138) was assessed as fit for a loan facility yet the member was servicing three (3) other loans in different financial institutions. Such cases affect the SACCO's liquidity and exposes the SACCO risk of financial loss. Recommendation Management and in particular the credit committee should be more careful when review-ing applicants and subsequent approval of loans. Management comment The BOD takes note of the observation of the SUPCO committee. The loans committee will improve on analysing applicants. Recommendation Management should adhere to established policy procedure in undertaking investment decisions. Management response.All investments are approved by the BOD and minutes are available to support the decisions made.

61CPA SACCO Annual Report 2015/16

4.0 PAYMENTS BY MEMBERS USING MOBILE MONEYWe noted that Mobile money payments by members for SACCO saving are receipt by the SACCO Administrator who also has the Mobile money Password for withdrawing money. This exposes mobile money transactions to risk of fraud. Recommendation The password of the Mobile money ought to be restricted to the SACCO Treasurer, who should also be in-charge of withdrawing mobile money transactions. Management commentReceipt of money is an operational activity performed by management as authorized by the BOD, the treasurer just supervises the records through the BOD.

5.0 GOVERNANCE We noted for the period under review that 3 of the board members achieved below 50% attendance (37.5%, 37.5% and 32.5%). This affects deliberations and quality of decision of the board.

Recommendation

We encourage board members to regularly attend meeting of the board so as to improved quality of board.

Management comment

Observation noted. However, several BOD deliberations are done online in the interest of time and meeting are held to document resolutions.

PART B6.0 STATUS OF IMPLEMENTATION OF PRIOR YEAR RECOMMENDATIONS ( 2015) REPORT

The objective is to assess the level of response to issues raised and ensure that they are addressed.

ISSUE RAISED MANAGEMENT RESPONSE THEN

RECOMMENDATIONTHEN

IMPLEMENTATION STA-TUS

System update: There was no Service Contract with Pearl Solutions who were hired to provide financial accounting System for the CPA SACCO and yet a payment of UGX 1,000,000 was already made.

That The Service Contract was available with the Chairperson only that the Administrator did not conduct her

Management to ensure properly signed contracts with clear terms including after sale service.

Partially Done. Service contract seen;Contract was supposed to be renewed every year and system upgrade done at an additional cost of UGX. 300,000.

At the time of reporting ( in September), the service contract had expired on 9th June 2016 and is yet to be renewed.

62 CPA SACCO Annual Report 2015/16

Management comments that the Service provider is still offering support in view of the 2015 lapse in service .

No progress report on the service provided so far.

System was still under test and was not being used yet.

Progress reports should be produced to ascertain the areas of improvement.

Board was trained on the system.

Migration of Data to the New System: There was no proper guidance on how to migrate data to the new System.

Proper guidance should be provided to the Adminis-trator so that postings are meaningful since previous figures affect the current balances.

Management should inves-tigate these anomalies and identify the causes.

DoneAll data has been success-fully migrated into the system.

Information from the system was incorrect and the review team had a challenge in verifying such information

The Accounts under review at the time were manually produced. It was agreed by the board that since the transactions were few, the administrator should post all of them from the beginning so as to test the desired reports and also for practice in processing data.

Management should streamline the system for ease of review and verifica-tion of balances

DoneAll information can now be obtained from the system.

Investment and the Policy Related to it:No Investment Policy and yet Fixed Deposit of 40m in ECO Bank and Treasury Bills were being processed.

Investment Policy still in Draft Form

Management should expedite the development of the Investment Policy so that the SACCO In-vestments are guided by agreed policies.

Done.Investment Policy in place

Credit Policy:Most of the Loans dis-patched did not comply with all the requirements as guided by the Credit Pol-icy Document. Failure to adhere to lending policies may lead to default in loan repayment.

Most approvals are done online, going forward they intend to print and file all online approvals

Some loans which lacked the required number of signatures was because some Committee members’ at the time and those pres-ent did not want to delay disbursing the loans. They would always sign later

Management should en-sure that all Credit Policy requirements are fulfilled before giving out loans

Done.

Committee members sign according to the require-ment of the Credit Policy.

Members’ Register:13 members in the reg-ister had not paid up the mandatory amount of UGX. 250,000/- to qualify as members.

Most of the debtors were founding members who paid part and were being followed to pay up.

The 13 members should be followed up to ensure that they pay the remaining balance.Management should con-sider putting the funds of the 13 members amount-ing to UGX 2,835,000= in a special account; say Cred-itors’ Account and only transfer to the members accounts when the individ-ual hasfulfilled membership re-quirements.

Partially done. Eight of the 13 members have still not fully paid and so are still being followed.

Funds were put on a liabili-ty account.
