Before 2017/18 Treasury published the older (v1) returns, whose lines are defined differently (v1 “Total Operating Revenue” is not the v2 total revenue); a v1 line is labelled as such and never compared code-for-code. Treasury’s mSCOA items 2900 (total revenue excluding capital transfers), 4400 (total expenditure) and 4500 (surplus/deficit). A year with no audited actual is one whose audit National Treasury has not published; it is not zero.

Why no ward figures

National Treasury reports municipal finance for the municipality as a whole. Mandate SA shows it at that level and never divides it across wards; a ward’s page links here instead.
