Effective management of Value-Added Tax (VAT) and Accounts Payables is critical to ensuring municipal financial compliance, audit readiness, and sound governance. Municipalities operate within a complex legislative and regulatory environment requiring strict adherence to the Municipal Finance Management Act (MFMA), VAT legislation, GRAP standards, and National Treasury mSCOA requirements.
This programme provides municipal finance professionals with practical knowledge and applied skills to manage VAT and payables accounting accurately and compliantly. The course focuses on the full procure-to-pay cycle, VAT treatment of municipal transactions, financial reporting requirements, audit preparation, and risk mitigation strategies.
Participants will gain hands-on experience in VAT calculations, reconciliations, mSCOA transaction posting, invoice validation, and compliance monitoring. The programme emphasises real-world municipal scenarios, enabling participants to strengthen internal controls, reduce audit findings, and improve financial governance and service delivery accountability.
This course is available in two formats, so you can choose the depth that fits your time and needs:
Legislative framework and VAT fundamentals, followed by accounts payable, mSCOA v7.1, and current reporting updates.
The full ten-module curriculum in complete depth, including GRAP accounting, detailed mSCOA configuration, VAT returns and reconciliations, audit/risk management, and governance and continuous improvement.
Both formats are delivered face-to-face, virtually, or in-house, and share the same practical, hands-on instructional approach.
