3. VICE-CHANCELLOR’S REVIEW

General Sir John Kotelawala Defence Academy was initially established by the Parliamentary Act No. 68 of 1981 with the key objective of providing facilities for academic education in certain subjects pdrtaining to training of pre-trained Cadet Officers and providing instructions in such academic activities.

Following its elevation to University status by General Sir John Kotelawala Defence Academy (Amendment) Act No. 27 of 1988, it was renamed as General Sir John Kotelawala Defence University by the Amendment Act No. 50 of 2007.

The Defence University, turning into a University with a global approach, has been able at present to acquire the reputation of the only Defence University in the South Asian region that awards degrees in defence studies.

The University has secured membership of the Commonwealth Universities Association of the United Kingdom and the International Universities Union, and it gives the lifeblood to the role of Pioneer to provide the light of wisdom to the defence service and civilian students who endeavour to achieve challenging strategies successfully.

Within its very short history, the Defence University has become a full-fledged international- level University consisting of 10 Faculties including the Faculties of Postgraduate Studies, Defence and Strategic Studies, Medicine, Engineering, Law, Management, Social Sciences and Humanities, Allied Health, Built Environment and Spatial Sciences, Research and Development, and Computing.

Upholding its credo - “FOR THE MOTHERLAND FOREVER”, General Sir John Kotelawala Defence University offers Undergraduate and Postgraduate Degrees of high standard to local and foreign scholars.

The University conducted its 9th International Research Conference on the theme “PROFESSIONAL INTEGRITY FOR A SECURE NATION” on 8th and 9th September at

the University premises. Many experts and academics from defence services and civil society participated in it.

The Convocation of the University was held under the auspices of His Excellency Maithripala Sirisena, President of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, on 2 November 2017. Under various disciplines, 708 undergraduate and Postgraduate Degrees were awarded.

The true social effect of multifarious strategic management methodologies and staff motivational activities implemented by the University in a far-sighted manner will undoubtedly reflect on the performance of the University.

The academic and physical progress achieved by the University during the year under review was a achienement gained collectively by the staff through sound management approaches and leadership. It laid a strong basis for the stable existence of the University.

We shall function as one in order to reach our mission by focusing more on teaching and learning activities, research and academic activities, and infrastructure development etc. for enhancing cooperation with external parties who show an interest towards the University.

This Report depicts my comments and observations, which I think should be published together with the Annual Report of the University.

1.2 Responsibility of the management with regard to Financial Statements

It is the responsibility of the management to prepare these Financial Statements in accordance with the Sri Lanka Public Sector Accounting Standards, present them in a justifiable manner and to determine the internal controls necessary to enable the preparation of Financial Statements without substantial false statements that could be caused due to fraud or mistakes.

1.3 Responsibility of the Auditor

It is my responsibility to express an opinion on these Financial Statements based on my audit. I conducted my audit in accordance with Sri Lanka Auditing Standards consistent with international auditing standards of hallowed auditing institutions (ISSA 1000 – 1810). These standards aspire to ensure that I comply with the requirements of Ethics and the audit is designed and executed in order to obtain a fair ascertainment on whether the Financial Statements are devoid of substantial false Statements.

Audit includes the implementation of procedures for obtaining auditing evidence pertaining to the figures and revelations depicted in the Financial Statements. The selected procedures are based on the conviction of the auditor which includes the assessments of risks of substantial false Statements that could exist in the Financial Statements due to fraud or mistakes. Although the auditor takes into consideration the internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of Financial Statements of the University for planning appropriate auditing procedures as opportune in such risk assessments, it is not intended to express an opinion about the effectiveness of the internal control of the University. The audit includes the evaluation of the fairness in accounting estimates that are followed by the management and an evaluation of the overall presentation of the Financial Statements. The Auditor General is vested with discretion by Subsections (3) and (4) of Section 13 of the Finance Act No. 38 of 1971 to determine the scope an extent of the audit.

It is my belief that the audit evidence obtained by me is adequate and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion.

1.4 Basis for the Qualified Opinion

My opinion is qualified on the basis of the points laid down in Paragraph 2.2 of this Report.

2. Financial Statements

2.1 Qualified Opinion

It is my opinion that, apart from the effects of the matters stated in paragraph 2.2 of this Report, the Financial Statements of the General Sir John Kotalawala Defence University reflect a true and fair picture

217

of the financial position of the Authority as at 31st December 2016 and its financial operations and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Sri Lanka Public Sector Accounting Standards.

2.2 Comments on the Financial Statements

2.2.1 Accounting Deficiencies

The following observations are made:

(a) The construction cost amounting to Rs. 10,948,998.00 of the building belonging to the Coconut Pilot Project of the Defence University, of which the construction work had been completed by 31st December 2016, had been shown under Work in Progress even as at the end of the year under review. In addition, although calculating the depreciation of an asset should be commenced once it reaches a usable state according to Paragraph 69 of Sri Lanka Public Sector Accounting Standard No. 07, this has not been done in respect of this building despite its being used as a physical fitness centre by the Southern Campus of the Defence University since 2016. (b) The University had obtained 177.33 million United States dollars in foreign currency and 3,165 million rupees in local currency as a loan from the National Savings Bank in the year 2013. According to the information provided by the Bank, a sum of Rs. 2,735.29 equivalent to 17.63 million United States dollars as foreign currency loan interest and 433.55 million rupees as local loan interest was payable to the Bank as at 31st December 2017. However, because of depicting in accounts the loan obtained in local currency as a loan amount obtained in foreign currency by converting it at the rate of Rs. 155.15 per US dollar, the local loan payable as at 31st December 2017 had been overstated by Rs. 604,324,000.00. Besides, the amount of loan instalments had been shown under current liabilities in the Financial Statements although the payment of loan instalments have only to be commenced in the year 2022. (c) A sum of Rs. 6,757,093.00 equivalent to US $ 43,552.00 receivable as at 31st December of the year under review for the meal and accommodation facilities provided to foreign students by the University had not been entered in accounts. (d) The expenditure of air conditioners and fire extinguishers worth Rs. 29,891,597.00 and expenditure for electricity installation worth Rs. 136,586,867.00 had been included in the asset value of Rs. 1,873,445,037.00 shown under land developments under properties, plant and equipment in the Financial Statements.

2.2.2 Lack of Evidence for Audit

It was not possible to physically verify buildings and other assets worth Rs. 13,874,542.00 that used to be brought forward since 2011 under work in progress in the Financial Statements. In addition, although land development cost of Rs. 43,803,874.00 has been brought forward from year to year since 2008 under unfinished work, the details of the assets represented by that value were not submitted to the audit.

2.3 Accounts Payable

Sums of Rs. 19,720,235.00, Rs. 1,196,249,776.00 and Rs. 2,186,922,093.00 had been shown in Financial Statements under Creditors, Accrued Expenses and Other Creditors respectively as at 31st December 2017 while the total of balances that remained not settled for periods over 2 years amounted to Rs. 85,014,562.00.

3. Financial Review

3.1 Financial Outcomes

According to the Financial Statements submitted, the financial result of the University was a deficit of Rs. 48,769,301.00 and as the previous year’s deficit was Rs. 23,216,355.00, the financial result of the year under review showed a decline of Rs. 25,552,946.00. Although the total income of the year under review had increased by Rs. 393,632,900.00 compared to the previous year’s income, the disadvantage that occurred in paying contractors in foreign currency for the construction of the University Teaching

219

Hospital amounting to Rs. 199,755,658.00 and the increase of other expenses by Rs. 219,430,188.00 had caused the decline referred to above in the financial outcome.

When analyzing the financial outcome for the year under review and the four preceding years, a deficit had occurred in the financial outcome from the year 2013 to the year 2017. However, after adjusting for employee gratuities and depreciation for non-current assets, the University’s contribution of Rs. 359,865,269.00 in the year 2013 had increased to Rs. 446,202,208.00 in the year 2014 but had decreased gradually in the years 2015 and 2016. Nevertheless, it had grown by Rs. 41,704,976.00 in the year under review compared to the previous year.

3.2 Analytical Financial Review

The following observations are made:

(i) The previous year’s return rate on the equity capital was a minus figure of 0.316% and the figure for the year under review had gone down towards a minus figure of 0.47%. (ii) The current ratio pertaining to the the year under review and the previous year were 0.3 and 2.5 respectively and hence, compared to the previous year, a decline was observed in the current ratio during the year under review. Stating the loan amounts obtained for the construction of the Teaching Hospital under current assets during the year under review has caused the decline in this ratio. (iii) Although this organization, which had previously been established under the John Kotalawala Defence Academy Act No. 68 of 1981 to conduct degree courses on defence affairs for officers employed in defence services, was upgraded to University status by Amendment Acts No. 27 of 1988 and No. 50 of 2007, the Acts concerned had not incorporated clauses empowering the conferral of Degrees to scholars who are not employed in defence services. Despite this, degrees had been awarded by enrolling 3,329 external students including 177 foreign students on fee-levying basis by 31st December 2017. (iv) The Board of Management of the Defence University had, at its meeting held on 18th February 2011, given approval to allot 20% of the total intake for war-hero families in enrolling students for degree courses other than the Degree in Medicine. However, it did not state specifically the criteria for selecting that quota of students. Because of this, action had been taken to admit scholars considering lower Z Scores for students from war hero families and upper Z Scores for others.

4.2 Management Activities

The following observations are made:

(a) It was observed during the audit that the contributions payable for the period from 1st January 2006 to 11th May 2011 to the Employees’ Provident Fund and the Employees’ Trust Fund totaling Rs. 8,210,785.00 had not been remitted and hence liable to surcharges. Furthermore, although salaries and emoluments should be paid from the University Fund, the contributions referred to above had been paid from the Self-Financing Fund on 14th June 2017. (b) Although 346 students had been engaged in studies as at 31st December 2017 at the Southern Campus, which comprised 08 lecture halls, it was observed that its capacity was not at an adequate level for study activities of this Campus. By the end of the year under review, 166 students had been enrolled for computer courses at the Faculty of Computing under the Southern Campus and as they did not have enough computer study facilities, study activities had been conducted at a computer laboratory belonging to the Department of Spatial Science. It was also found during the physical inspection that the Library for the use of undergraduates was being maintained in a

220

precast building made of shelter sheets with an area of 1,152 square feet as not permanent library building had been constructed for the Southern Campus. (c) Approval had been given by the Cabinet of Ministers by its decisions made at its meeting held on 10th January 2017 for an interim arrangement to govern the Defence University Teaching Hospital under a separate Board of Directors until the General Sir John Kotalawala Defence University Act is passed by Parliament. Accordingly, a Board of Directors comprising 13 members appointed ex officio and 6 members appointed by His Excellency the President had been appointed to conduct the Hospital affairs. However, the Administrative structure of the Teaching Hospital had not been determined until 31st December 2017. (d) Although the Southern Campus affiliated to the University had been established at a site which is 161.7363 hectares in extent in the Sevanagala Divisional Secretariat Division within the Monaragala District and a site having 7.6838 hectares belonging to the Board of Investment of Sri Lanka located in the Sooriyaweva Divisional Secretariat Division within Hambantota District, action had not been taken to have the ownership of the land transferred legally to the University.

4.3 Operational Activities

The following observations are made:

(a) The University had commenced the construction activities of a Teaching Hospital in the Werahera area in 4 phases and completed constructions by 20th May 2017. However, despite estimates amounting to US $ 39,629,000.00 for installing medical equipment, purchasing of equipment had not been conducted as planned. In addition, 13 units had been identified for the delivery of services within the Hospital but the sections concerned had not been implemented even as at the end of the year under review due to lack of necessary staff and due to non-installation of medical equipment etc. (b) The construction of buildings of the Southern Campus had been commenced in the year 2011 and planned to be completed in 03 phases and accordingly, the first phase was to be completed in the year 2015 while the other phases were to be completed by the end of the year 2019. However, it was observed that the work of the second and third phases have been happening sluggishly due to lack of adequate funds for the work. (c) The University had obtained a foreign currency loan of 177.33 million United States dollars equivalent to Rs. 23,102,546,177.00 and a local currency loan of Rs. 3,165,821,000.00 on 29th April 2013 from the National Savings Bank on a Treasury guarantee for the purpose of constructing the Defence University Teaching Hospital. The University was to pay the loan completely by the end of the year 2033 and starting from the year 2018, the University should pay it using the incomes it generates. However, it was observed that the repayment of the above- mentioned loan was problematic as there was a deficit in the financial outcome of the University from the year 2013 to the year under review.

4.4 Transactions Leading to Contention

Although the construction work of the Teaching Hospital had been planned for completion on 30 April 2015, the delay of the construction by 02 years as at 20 May 2017 had resulted in the delay in obtaining the loan amount of 177.33 million United States dollars which was to be obtained from the National Savings Bank. Because of this delay in obtaining the loan concerned, the National Savings Bank had informed in writing that an additional loan value of 400 million rupees would be added to the loan principal in order to recover the loss caused to the Bank on account of the change in the foreign exchange rates due to the delay.

4.5 Staff Administration

Although the Committee on Public Enterprises had, at its meeting held on 23rd March 2017, issued instructions to obtain a formal approval regarding the officers of the three forces who had been seconded in addition to the staff approved for the University, action had not been taken to obtain such an approval till the end of the year under review.

(b) Although the approved cadre for 08 Faculties of the University was 369, the number employed on the staff as at 31st December 2017 was 284.

As such, the University had not worked identified the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals that should be achieved according to their scope, the thresholds that should be reached in achieving those targets and the indicators for measuring the achievement of targets. It was also observed that since the Sustainable Development Goals and Targets had not been identified, it had not been possible to focus on the financial allocations, human resources and physical resources necessary in this regard.

6.2 Internal Auditing

The staff attached to the Internal Audit Division consisted of 04 officers and although it has turned into one performing a broad task embracing the Southern Campus and the Teaching Hospital affiliated to the University, it was observed that scanty attention had been given on increasing the staff strength of the Division on par with it.

6.3 Procurements

Although the University prepares a procurement plan for each financial year, it contained only the capital expenditure expected to be financed through Treasury allocations.
