Good afternoon, dear colleagues!
Financing of the cultural sphere of Kostanay region has a positive trend in 2020 amounted to 7700.0 million tenge (in 2019 - 6516.0 million tenge), of which 43% are funds of the regional budget or 3383.0 million tenge.
Every year, funds are allocated from the budget for capital and current repairs of cultural objects. During the reporting period, 395.6 million tenge was allocated for capital repairs of three buildings, 120.4 million tenge for current repairs of 68 objects, and 71.2 thousand tenge for restoration work.
This year, as part of the special project "Auyl-El besigi", capital repairs of the building of the Denisovsky district house of culture are being carried out, where 96.1 million tenge has been allocated from the national budget, and 10.6 million tenge has been allocated from the regional budget.
Since the beginning of the year, the employment Roadmap program has been launched, where 266.5 million tenge has been allocated from the Republican budget, including 155.3 million tenge for the overhaul of the regional Museum of the history of the steppe region in Arkalyk; 71.9 million tenge for the current repair of the building of the Sovremennik cultural Center in the village of Zarechny in Kostanay district; Oktyabrskoye of Kostanay district - 39.2 million tenge. More than 70 jobs were created under this program.
In may this year, the restoration of the building of the maral Ishan mosque was completed for 71.2 million tenge.
In addition, funds were allocated from the local budget for the completion of major repairs of the building of the city center of culture and sports in Lisakovsk -133.0 million tenge, the supplier of which refused to carry out repairs and after a long trial, the management of the city's culture Department decided to return the funds to the budget.
There was no decision on the feasibility of further repairs to the facility or proposals to Finance incomplete repairs from the management.
Work on the above-mentioned objects is almost all carried out with a lag from the approved schedules, the deadlines are violated on almost all repaired objects. The reason for the late completion of work is the current year's epidemiological situation, not bona fide procurement suppliers, and sometimes the Customer's lack of control.
Therefore, the heads of cultural departments need to keep the repair facilities under control and provide weekly information on the progress of work.
In addition, in enterprises where there is already a POI, the implementation period of which expires, it is necessary to work with the state expertise and the project developer in a timely manner to adjust it/
This year for the development of project-estimate documentation dedicated 41,0 million tenge, including on capital repairs of buildings Naumenkova rural DK Karabalyk district – 4.6 million tenge; October zonal rural libraries Karasu district of 3,6 million tenge; regional universal scientific library named after L. Tolstoy - 23.8 million tenge; reconstruction with an extension of the auditorium for 200 seats to the building of cultural and leisure center "Arman" 1.8 million tenge on the development of NAPs in Kostanay regional history Museum 8.9 million tenge.
For strengthening the material-technical base of objects of culture, including the purchase of computers, sewing costumes, replenishment of the book Fund and other expenses expenditures since the beginning of the year amounted to 158,1 million tenge, which is 30% less money spent over the same period of 2019. Improvement of the material and technical base of districts and cities of the region amounted to 129.6 million tenge, regional institutions 28.5 million tenge
46.5 million tenge was spent on holding cultural events, including 12.1 million tenge by regional institutions, 34.4 million tenge by districts and cities of the region. In comparison with the results of 9 months of last year, expenses decreased by 3 times.
Reduction of the above costs associated with the cancellation of mass actions, prohibition of acquisition of furniture and vehicles larger than 2000 CC In the result of measures taken in the beginning of the year in the regional budget returned about 50.0 million tenge. In addition, the Department submitted a budget application for a reduction of more than 180.0 million tenge.
Also, due to the suspension of mass events, there is a risk of not reaching the target indicator "Average number of visitors to cultural organizations per 1000 people" of the regional development Program. In this regard, a letter was sent to the Ministry of culture and sports of the Republic of Kazakhstan in September this year with a request to agree on the adjusted planned indicators. When a response is received from the Ministry, approval letters will be sent to cities and districts from the Department.
In addition, starting from 2019, funds are allocated from the Republican budget for additional payments to employees of managerial and main personnel in the field of culture in the amount of 35%. 797.9 million tenge has been allocated for these purposes since the beginning of the year. Due to incorrect calculation of remuneration by accountants of departments, as well as lack of control by the management of subordinate organizations, departments of culture, 78.2 million tenge was returned to the Republican budget from the beginning of the year, and it is planned to return more than 25.0 million tenge by the end of the year.
In this regard, it should be noted that the regional departments of culture do not work with subordinate institutions at the proper level. Cultural departments should conduct a General analysis and monitoring of all cultural workers.
So the specialist accountant of the Department of culture of Lisakovsk does not submit data with reference to subordinate cultural institutions, considering their activities as separate. For the Zhangeldinsky, Karasussky, and Taranovsky districts, calculations are submitted separately by the houses of culture and libraries, while summary data should be provided by the departments of culture.
For subjective reasons, low-quality planning of expenses for setting additional payments to the official salary was made by specialists of Denisovsky, Zhangeldinsky, Kamystinsky, Sarykolsky districts and the city of Arkalyk.
In this regard, special attention should be paid to budget planning, especially transfers from the national budget. In 2020, a 35% surcharge will also be used for planning at two levels of the budget. In order to prevent inefficient planning, calculations must be agreed in advance with the accountants of each of the institutions.
Also, a lot of work will be done by the end of the year to clarify the 2021 budget. Therefore, all cultural institutions need to start working on preparing budget applications right now.
One of the most common mistakes made by accountants subordinate to the KSU is making payments to the Treasury at the time of submitting a certificate to reduce the amount of funding for payments. At the same time, due to a lack of funds, the Treasury returns a General reference to the employees of the planning and economic Department of the Department. All this affects the quality of the Department's work and increases the workload.
Much attention should also be paid to the conduct of public procurement and the responsibility of each of the Commission members and first managers. Today, purchases of goods, works and services carried out using a single source method are under special control. The anti-corruption service of the Kostanay region constantly monitors public procurement procedures by analyzing information from the web portal. When planning purchases, public procurement specialists should monitor the average cost of goods on the web portal and not overestimate the average median price per unit of goods.
Expenses related to holding cultural events are also under special control, which must be returned to the appropriate budget in case of cancellation.
The end of the fiscal year is just 2 months urgent request for a broad purchase of goods, works and services in 2020 to a maximum in the month of November, in the framework of the current legislation on public procurement, leaving in December only ongoing monthly contract and the supplementary agreement, for development activities.
In addition, at the end of the year, the existing savings in all specifics imply the allocation of funds for the bonus of employees.in this regard, please pay attention to the need for the institution to have no payables for taxes and mandatory payments to the budget and suppliers of goods, works and services when awarding bonuses.
Thank you for your attention
