6.1.2 Investment of Control Account Funds
The following request was received from the Treasurer of the FBCSA Breed Council:
“I would very much appreciate your advice on this. The point was raised during our recent Breed Council meeting on whether we could invest a portion of the balance in our control account so that we could earn some interest. I realise the control account balance forms part of the cash balance of the wider KUSA, so would very much need your inputs on this as I am sure there would be some administrative overhead.
If I look at the near future, we would be wanting to spend on advertising in the Dog Directory and Animal Talk, so I was thinking if we could put say R25,000 of the control account balance into an interest earning option. Perhaps a 32 day notice deposit or similar. It might even be feasible if we could put this into a six month fixed deposit. Also, if possible, for the investment to form part of a bigger KUSA investment so that we could enjoy better rates?”
A similar request was received from the Rottweiler Breed Council in 2017. Refer to attachment (to agenda) for details and rationale for what was agreed to.
Funds in FBCSA BC Control Account as at 31 March 2019 = R 49 490. They wish to invest / ring fence R25 000.
After discussion, it was agreed that it would be preferable for the funds to be retained within KUSA and form part of a “bigger KUSA Investment” as suggested. A reply will be sent by PM.

Request for dispensation in respect of DNA Parentage Verification requirement.
Breeder Mrs L Cronjé: Litter of Australian Shepherd Dogs whelped 16 June 2018, 6 puppies in the litter.
The breeder submitted the registration application in March 2019 on which only five (5) puppies were recorded, however, payment was made for six puppies. The 5 puppies were registered on 05.04.2019. The breeder then realised then she had inadvertently omitted to include the details of the sixth puppy. This was a genuine administrative error. The breeder had every intention to register all six puppies as is evident by payment.
The new owners of the dog are emigrating. The puppy has been spayed (a copy of this can be sent to the KUSA office). The breeder is also willing to forward a copy of the Purchase and Sale agreement as proof of intention of registration.
