254 submissions were received from firms currently not registered with FP&M (Seta 10 & Seta 15)
The balance of 72 are still being processed.

3. Challenges Experienced
FP&M SETA acknowledges that our MIS had challenges however most submissions were done via the MIS and only a few were submitted in Excel format.
Most of the WSP/ATRs submitted via the MIS were incomplete e.g.
Employee details
Banking details
Signatures
WSP (planned training) & ATR (implemented training)
Firms submitted WSP/ATRs and did not keep a copy
SDL numbers were incorrectly captured e.g.
Missing digits or spaces in between the digits.
