1 Vice-Chancellor’s Message
I am pleased to highlight the achievements of the University of Vocational Technology

in 2022 for the record of the annual report as detailed below.
The advancement of the human resources available in the university was the priority
in the agenda for 2022 since the development of the physical resources is limited due
to the limited budget available and new recruitments were suspended due to the
decision of the government. A series of online and on-ground seminars were
organized covering themes such as “How to become a good academic”, “Publishing
research avoiding plagiarism and predatory journals”, “Academic workload and
ethics”, “Academic evaluations and assessments”, and “RTI Act and provisions”
aiming at capacity building and awareness.
The examination procedures were streamlined, and the format of the degree certificate
and transcript was improved. To avoid the long delays in releasing results, a process
was introduced to release the results within three months of the examinations.
A new degree programme in Plantation Crop Technology and Management was
launched with the collaboration of the National Institute of Plantation Management
after careful need analysis and resource mapping. The initial discussions were held
with the Institute of Certified Management Accountants of Sri Lanka, MAS holdings,
Optometry Association of Sri Lanka to offer joint degree programmes. The efforts for
offering joint degrees with the Institute of Textile and Apparel, and the Institute of
Tourism and Hospitality Management are also in progress. There were negotiations
with the Asian Institute of Technology to initiate a staff training programme with
partial scholarships and staff exchange.
The online student admission process was further strengthened and successfully
launched this year and all the applications and payments were received online.
Examination admissions were based on a QR code and admission tests were
conducted successfully without any paper communication. Recognition and
accreditation processes for our degrees from UGC, IESL, and CSC were initiated to
ensure the quality of our delivery of degree programmes. The curriculum revision
process covering most of the degree programmers was also commenced. Business
incubation and entrepreneurship programmes were introduced to the university to
facilitate the processes for the commercialization of innovations.
The students were enrolled on the specialization degree programmes for the first time
in the university. Opportunities were given to any prior graduate with three years
degree to join the fourth year and complete the modules to be eligible for an Honours
degree. Several certificate programmes were offered to TVET sector employees as TOT
programs or advanced training programmes. In addition, several workshops for
developing national competency standards were conducted supporting several TVET
243
sector institutions. The university also contributed to the development of national
curricula for various TVET NVQ programmes. In addition, our University Colleges
were supported for their both academic and management developments and guided
for coordinated programmes in all six colleges together.
During the year 2022, the university moved into conducting the activities in a blended
mode combining our online resources and physical resources in the best possible way.

4 University Profile
4.1 Introduction
The University of Vocational Technology was established under the Parliament Act No.31 of
2008, to the need and the national importance of making available opportunities for achieving
a higher educational qualification who have acquired Technical and Vocational Education and
Training (TVET). In order to ensure that the higher educational qualifications obtained by
those who pursue such studies will earn a qualification recognized within and outside Sri
Lanka.
At present, the University of Vocational Technology enrolls students with NVQ level 5 or
relevant equivalent G.C.E A/L qualifications. Persons having said qualifications are different
from G.C.E Advanced Level qualified students as they have gone through a diploma level
technology programme with substantial industry exposure. Thus, within the undergraduate
programmes, students are given higher theoretical knowledge in their specialization and are
exposed to gain practical experience with new technological equipment in laboratories. They
also achieve an industrial training of six months as undergraduate trainees during the fifth
semester of the programme. Having been technologically enriched through these activities,
students will complete a project during the final semester which would be product oriented
and mostly based on industry requirements.
Since 2017, students are enrolled to facilitate the higher education avenue to those who have
followed GCE A/L to only for weekday programme giving priority to NVQ stream students.

7 Faculty of Education
The Faculty of Education of the University of Vocational Technology was established in 2020
with the restructuring of the Faculties that added two new faculties. The Faculty of Education
focuses on conducting academic programmes in B a c h e l o r o f Education in Technology ,
B a c h e l o r o f English Language Teaching and B a c h e l o r o f Translation Studies.
The Faculty provides a number of undergraduate programmes for those interested in

pursuing higher education, leading to B.Ed. degrees in ELT and a number of technological
areas for NVQ level 5 or 6 qualified students, for those who serve government and private
sector training institutes as trainers/teachers, and for Advanced Level (A/L) qualified
students. The programs are offered with the intention of opening pathways for trainers in
order to develop their knowledge, skills and attitudes to a higher level so that they will be
able to perform better at work places, and pursue in relevant higher studies.
These degree programmes are specially designed for those who have passed out from
University Colleges, Colleges of Technology (CoTs), teachers in schools and TVET
institutes and for others holding the required diploma level qualifications. In addition,
the Faculty has taken steps to provide opportunities for A/L qualified students too to
enroll for the programmes. However, the priority is given to the NVQ qualified students.
A Foundation programme has been designed for bridging the core knowledge, skills and
attitudes in basic modules such as Mathematics, English and Information and
Communication Technology which are conducted for one month at the commencement of
each programme as the students are from different backgrounds.
7.1 Students enrolled from GCE A/L Stream

As a policy decision, the Faculty would not enroll students for the B.Ed. Tech
programmes from GCE Advanced Level stream from 2020 for the weekday programme
(B1). For the B2, that is the weekend programme, students have been enrolled from NVQ
stream as usual. There have been sufficient number of students from the NVQ stream for
the B.Ed. in ELT programme, and therefore no students have been enrolled from the GCE
/AL stream.
It has been decided by the Academic Council and measures have been taken to enroll
students for the B.Ed. Tech programme (B1) from the trainers of TVET with NVQ Level 5
or 6 qualifications for the Academic year 2022/2023. The aptitude test was conducted,
and the registration of students will be in Mid-February 2023.

4th year Hons degree programs

A university policy decision is to elevate all the existing degree programs to 4th year Hons
degrees with an exit point at the end of the third year allowing any student to get a General
degree and join the work force. Hons degrees were introduced with a view to offer more
intensive subject expertise for those who plan to proceed to post graduate studies, for the
department to gain accreditation from the relevant professional entities, foster research and
scaffold the production of new academic generation of the university. Hons degrees are a
demonstration of a higher level of achievement and education at the undergraduate level. The
first intake for the Hons degree started in July 2022 except degree programee of Hotel
Management (no students having third year completed still) and Industrial Management (no
adequate students applied for).

Report of the Auditor General in accordance with section 12 of the National Audit Act No.19
of 2018 on financial statements and other legal and regulatory requirements for the year ended
as on 31st December 2022 of the University of Vocational Technology.
Financial Statements
Opinion
The audit of financial statements of the University of Vocational Technology for the year
ended 31st December 2022 compromising the statement of financial position as at 31st
December 2022 and the statement of financial performance, statement of changes in net
asset change and cash flow statement for the year then ended and a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information was carried out under my direction
in pursuance in accordance with the provisions of the National Audit Act No. 19 of 2018
to be read in conjunction with section 47(2) of the University of Vocational Technology
Act No. 31 of 2008 and Article 154(1) of the Constitution of Democratic Socialistic Republic
of Sri Lanka. In accordance with Article 154(6) of the Constitution, my report will be tabled
in Parliament in due course.
In my opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position
of the University of Vocational Technology as at 31st December 2021 and its financial
performance and cash flow for the year then ended in accordance with the Sri Lanka
public sector accounting standards.
The basis for Opinion
I have conducted the audit in accordance with the Sri Lanka Audit standards. My
responsibilities under these auditing standards are further described in the
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Financial Statements section of this
report. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion.
Other information included in the University's Annual Report- 2022
Information I obtained prior to the date of this audit report which are included in the
Annual Report -2022 of the University of Vocational technology but not in the financial
statements and in my Audit Report on those financial statements are considered as other
information. Management is responsible for this other information.
My opinion on financial statements does not cover any other information and I do not
express any opinion which is a guarantee of that.
My responsibility in auditing financial statements is to read other information when
they are available and consider whether other information is quantitatively compatible
from my knowledge gained on financial publications or audit.
342
Based on the other information obtained prior to the date of this audit report and the
duties performed by me, if this other information are deducted as substantially
incorrect, that needs to be reported by me. I don’t have anything to be reported in this
regard.
Responsibilities of the parties who are managing and controlling the financial statements.
It is the responsibility of the management to prepare and present these financial

statements in accordance with the accounting standards of the Sri Lankan public sector
and to determine the internal controls required to prepare financial statements which
are free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or errors.
Management is responsible for determining the university’s ability to sustain itself in
the preparation of financial statements, and management also maintains accounting and
disclosure matters related to the continued existence of the university, unless the
management intends to liquidate the university or discontinue operations.
Responsibility for the financial reporting process of the university rests with the
governing parties.
In accordance with sub-section of the National Audit Act No. 19 of 2018, the university
shall maintain proper books and records on its income, expenditure, assets and
liabilities so as to be able to prepare annual and periodical financial statements.
Responsibilities of the Auditor in relation to the auditing of financial statements.
As a matter of fact, my aim is to provide a fair proof that there are no quantitative
misrepresentations in financial statements caused by frauds and errors, and to issue an
auditor’s report that includes my opinion. Fair certification is a high level of
certification, but auditing in accordance with Sri Lanka Audit Standards does not
always guarantee that it will be adequately disclosed by disclosure. Individual or
collective fraudulent and erroneous pressures may result in quantitative disclosures
based on these financial statements. It is expected to have an impact on the economic
decision made by users.
I conducted the audit in accordance with the Sri Lanka Audit Standards with
professional judgment and professional skepticism.
• Appropriate audit procedures were designed and implemented from
time to time to identify and assess the risk of quantitative
misrepresentations in financial statements due to fraud or errors in
formulating the basis for the published audit opinion. The effects of
fraud are far greater than the effects of quantitatively inaccurate
statements made by error, as they are made deliberate
misrepresentation by deliberate misdirection or by evasion of
internal control.
343
• Though not with the intention of expressing an opinion on the
efficiency of internal control, an understanding of internal controls
was gained to design appropriate audit procedures from time to
time.
• Assessed the fairness of the accounting policies and accounting

estimates used and the relevant disclosures made by management.
• Based on the audit evidence obtained as to whether there is a

quantitative uncertainty about the continued existence of the
university due to events and circumstances, the relevance of the
institution to the use of the basis of continuity for accounting was
determined. If I conclude that sufficient uncertainty exists, my audit
report should focus on the related disclosures in the financial
statements. If that disclosure is not sufficient then my opinion should
be modified. However continued existence may end on future events
or circumstances.
• The structure and content of the financial statements were evaluated

and the transactions and events on which they were based were
evaluated to be appropriate and reasonable in the financial
statement.
Important audit findings identified during my audit, major internal governance
weaknesses and other issues will be informed to the governing parties.
Reports on other legal and regulatory requirements.
The National Audit Act no.19 of 2018 contains special provisions regarding the following
requirements.
I obtained all the information and explanations required for the audit in accordance with the
requirements of section 12 (A) of the National Audit Act no.19 of 2018, and according to my
examination, it shows that the university had maintained proper financial records.
According to the requirement mentioned in section 6 (I) D (iii) of the national audit act no.19

344
According to the requirement mentioned in section 6 (I) D (iv) of the national audit act no.19
of 2018, the recommendations made by me during the last year are included in the financial
statements.
Based on the action taken and the evidence obtained and limiting to quantitative facts, none
of my attention was drawn to make the following statements
In accordance with the requirement of section 12 (D) of the National Audit act No. 19
of 2018, a member of the Board of Governors of the university may be involved in any

Appeals Boards based on employee issues and the University has incurred
LKR 733,500 as legal fees for these cases from the year 2015 to 31 December
2022.
b. Even though the University has incurred LKR4,003,504 to establish the E-

library service in November 2018, the expenditure incurred has become
ineffective since the system could not be maintained properly. In addition, 20
Computers, 05 Studio Cupboards and 20 chairs removed from the E- library
had been kept idle for more than a year.
c. According to the Action Plan for the year 2022, under introduction of new
degree programs in collaboration with external parties, courses like Bachelor
of Textile and Garment Technology, Bachelor of Hospitality Management and
Master of Education have not been introduced.
d. According to Cabinet of Ministers Decision No අමප/16/2673/720/030 dated 03

January 2017, an estimate of 927.34 Mn rupees had been approved to build a
workshop for the University, a hostel complex for 600 students and a cafeteria
with a seating capacity of 300. Even though during the years 2018,2019 and
2020, 281.36Mn Rupees had been allocated to this project, 22.5Mn rupees had
been paid as consultation fees. Since decisions were not taken by the topmost
authorities in timely manner, this project could not be completed as of the year
under review even though 05 years and 06 months have passed since the
project initiation. In addition this project had been re-estimated for 3,046.8 Mn
Rupees in June 2022 which more than 300% increase of the value when
compared to the initial estimation.
e. As per the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers on 27th April 2011, an amount
of Rs 434.9 million has been allocated by the Treasury and the Sectoral Skills
Development Project to construct a building with a multi-purpose studio
complex and a lecture hall complex for University of Vocational Technology.
By 31st December 2020, 304.5Mn rupees had been spent and actions were not
taken to correct the identified defects of the building. Also, this building had
not been handed over to the University even at the end of the year under
review.
f. A Computer System (EMIS) had been established for the functions of the
Examinations and Evaluations Centre of the University and a proper policy
had not been implemented to manage the users of the system. And the system
was lacking the auditing facility. There were no enough facilities for the
student management and examination management in the system, and the
company who produced the system had been incapable of correcting the errors
or modifying the system. In Addition, even though 281,250 Rupees had been
spent for the Human Resource Management Computer Software System
346
(SUWAS), the system had not been operational even at the date of this report.
Also 08 computer laboratories of the University had been underutilized. Hence
it was discovered that this system is not being used at the maximum capacity.
g. The Bond value payable to the Government by 04 officers who had been on full
paid study leave for 01 to 2 ½ years was 11,086,021 Rupees and actions were
not taken by the end of the year under review to recover this amount. One of
these officers had resigned from the service.

21st March 2019 till the audited date which is 09th January 2023.
i. Without Approval of the Department of Management Services, two officers

had been appointed to a post named Director- Staff Development Centre, one
from 30th November till 30th March 2022 and the other from 01st April 2022 to
30th November 2022 which was not in the approved cadre and a total allowance
of 3,758,629 rupees had been paid.
j. Since this university is build based on the students who aspire to obtain higher
education through National Vocational Qualifications Framework (NVQ), in
addition to the diplomates of the University Colleges, students can be informed
by popularizing the University in the School System, no such actions have been
taken in this regard.

Accordingly, Central Engineering Consultancy appointed as the
Consultant of the project on 16th November 2017. Our university
and the Central Engineering Consultancy Bureau entered into this
agreement on November 30, 2017. A geotechnical investigation
should have been done before designing the buildings of the
project.
For that, tender was called on 05 January 2018.
The geotechnical investigation report was received by us on 17th
July 2018.
352
In the meantime, the Cabinet Appointed Technical Evaluation
Committee (CATEC) on May 05, 2018 and the Cabinet Appointed
Procurement Committee (CAPC) on May 21, 2018 were named.
In the meantime, permission from the Civil Aviation Authority to
construct a six-store building was received.
The building renovation and property sub-committee of the

university who brought attention on this, pointed out to the Vice
Chancellor that advantageous of constructing single building with
6 floors instead of disadvantageous of constructing separate
workshop, hostel & canteen as mention in the project by the letter
dated 16th July 2018. ( The high value of land in the area and the
limited amount of land currently available within the university for
further development.
).
Accordingly, instead of constructing three buildings, it was decided
to construct a single building consisting of six floors.
Accordingly, the revised bid documents were submitted to the
Ministry on January 29, 2019 for approval by the Technical
Evaluation Committee (CATEC) and Procurement Committee
(CAPC).
After examining the relevant bid documents, the technical
evaluation committee stated that the approval should be obtained
from the Cabinet for the decision taken to construct a single
building consisting of six floors instead of three buildings.
Accordingly, the procurement division of the ministry called for

bids for the project while taking the necessary steps to obtain the
353
relevant approval. Accordingly, the bids were opened on December
18, 2019. Even then, the decision taken to construct a single
building consisting of six floors instead of three buildings had not
been approved by the Cabinet. Therefore, the bid evaluation had
not been done by the Technical Evaluation Committee.
Further, according to the gazette announcement dated 10/12/2019,
our institution was declared as an institution under the Ministry of
Higher Education, Technology and Innovation and the file No:
ADM/02/02/110 relevant to this project was forwarded to the
relevant ministry by the Additional Secretary ( Procurement) of
the Ministry of skills development, Employment & Labour
Relations. Further, it had been informed that they cannot allocate
funds for the year 2020.
the validity period of bids (2020/03/18) and the validity period of

bid security bonds (2020/06/10) had been exceeded by now. The
new ministry was informed that to take actions to extend it. Cabinet
approval to construct a single building consisting 6 floors instead
of 3 buildings was received on 16th July 2020.
The Covid pandemic situation had also been escalated in the

country by this time. As the situation gradually diminished, the
ministry was informed by the letter dated February 21, 2022 to
expedite the project, since the said project is a project approved by
the cabinet and all the procurement activities were done by the
ministry. As response to that , after three months it was informed
by the Additional Secretary ( Procurement ) of the ministry to
354
temporally suspend the Procurement of the relevant project
according to the National Budget Circular No. 03/2022 on
Controlling Public Expenditure dated 26/04/2022.
As mentioned above, even all the measures to be taken for the

success of the relevant project from 2016 to 2022 have been
properly taken, the country's economic and political instability due
to the Covid epidemic during the period from 2020 to 2022, and
due to the fact that our Ministry and the secretaries changed from
time to time, the project could not be completed on the originally
planned dates.
Even by the letter dated May 04, 2022, our Ministry had informed
to temporarily suspend the procurement of the relevant project, but
through the letter dated June 03, 2022, actions were taken to obtain
a new estimate for the relevant project. Further, we have
forwarded the relevant new estimate to the Ministry by letter dated
30th June 2022 asking about the next steps to be taken for the
project.
The procurement of the project temporally has been suspended by

now , but actions has been taken to commence the project when
the government will take actions to cancel the circular dated
04/26/2022 regarding the control of public expenditure after
economic of the country will be stabilized in the future.
And by that time, as the strengthening of the rupee against the
dollar, it can be expected that the value of 300% of the initial
estimate will be further decrease significantly.
