Brief Description
Given the capital intensive nature of the Cement industry it is of vital importance to formalise uniform procedures and
controls for all new expenditure capital expenditure.
The purpose of this document is to provide guidance for the approval procedure surrounding new capital expenditure
DEFINITIONS
Capital
Cost of an Asset
The cost of an asset comprises it's purchase price, including import duties and non refundable taxes (VAT on motor
vehicles being an example) and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to working condition.
Any item that fits the asset definition must be capitalised if the unit cost is R2000 or above.
Expenditure to maintain or restore the intended future economic benefits must be expensed in the year it is incurred.
Expenditure relating to existing assets can only be recognised as an asset if it is probable that future economic
benefits in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance of the asset will flow to PPC. Examples of such
expenditure would be:
- Modifications that extend useful life
- Upgrades that will achieve substantial increase in quality of output and
- Change in process that will lead to substantial reduction in operating costs
Major components of assets may require replacement at regular intervals. These components have different useful
lives to the asset they are related. Replacement of such assets can be capitalised separately providing the replaced
asset is then fully written off. Riding ring replacements would fall into this category.
Depreciation
All assets to be depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Each new asset should be evaluated to determine it's
useful life, consideration should be given to similar assets in the same operation to provide consistency.
The maximum permitted useful life is 20 years with the exeption of kilns, mills, crushers and civil structures (including
warehouses) which can be extended to 30 years.
Special considerations:
- Estimated useful life can not extend beyond the time of a planned plant or production line closure
- Estimated useful life can not extend beyond the life of an inter dependant asset. A new motor/gearbox can't have a
longer life than the remaining life of the driven machine for example.
Depreciation should be commenced when the asset is brought in to use (SAP "Day of first use") regardless of
outstanding expenditure.
It is the responsibility of the vote applicant to inform the "site asset administrator" when an asset has been
commissioned.
APPROVAL
Approval of a new vote must be done using the standard form provided (Forms 1,2 & 3). Once the vote has been
finally approved a new asset must be opened on the relevant SAP asset register and a copy of forms 1, 2 & 3 must b
sent to the "central vote database administrator".
Authority levels depend on asset types and whether an item was approved in the annual PLAN or not.
Detail document of approved authority levels attached as "Annexure 1"
Part of the vote application procedure is the "Justification - form 2". The detail provided by the applicant is dependant
on:
- Essential for conducting business/routine asset replacement
- Approved in annual PLAN
- Quality of life/"nice to have"
- Expansion of current capacity
- Change in process
(list in order from least to most detail required)
Financial justification is only required for items that are not necessarily vital (can do without) and would generally fall
into the categories of expanded capacity, changes to current processes or where the choice between different
solutions are significant in cost and benefit.
Financial justification to be done utilising the CFROI calculation matrix provided in From 3. The basis/assumptions
used in determination of the input values to the CFROI calculation must be entered on Form2.
The notes on completion (Annexure 2) should be read together with this document to ensure correct completion of the
forms and accurate application of policy.
Any expenditure overruns in excess of the above requires a Supplementary Vote and must go through the normal
process again.
Vote closure
In the SAP assets system costs can always be added to a specific asset regardless of date of commission or vote
closure. It becomes the responsibility of the "asset administrator" at site level to ensure that no cost is added to an
asset subsequent to vote closure.
Vote closure thus merely becomes a mechanism whereby the Board/Executive/Site management can be assured tha
expenditure on a vote have ceased and control that expenditure was within the authorised limits approved.
Vote closure "Form 5" need only be completed for Votes where the "Project Nature" question in "Form 1" was "Yes".
This can be done even when expenditure on a vote is still outstanding, but should be restricted to retentions and
guarantees outstanding. Any outstanding expenditure should be indicated on the form itself.
Authorisation levels and procedures applies as for a new vote application. Once the vote closure has been finally
approved a copy of form 5 must be sent to the "central vote database administrator".
Form 6 must be completed and approved in the same way as for a new asset. Authorisation levels applies as for
"Unplanned expenditure" and based on the asset's historical cost.
If the asset was stolen, please attach a police report to the disposal form.
Reporting
Quarterly Board Report:
Show votes as open until all expenditure has ceased or when a vote closure form 5 has been authorised, whichever
comes first.
No items of value under R5000 needs to be reported on.
All votes with unspent balances from the prior year plus all current year expenditure to be recorded. The total of this
report should always be equal to "Total additions" reported for "Financial accounts" (cash spent during financial year)
or administrative purposes
