Should the company contributions be omitted on the IRP5 if you have resigned?

I resigned in March this year (2015) and decided to withdraw my provident fund and reinvest it elsewhere. However, I received my IRP5 from my previous employer without the contributions that was made by the company for my provident fund for the last financial year (Feb 2014-Feb 2015). Is this correct? Should they leave it out because I withdrew my provident fund this year? Does it still affect last financial years contributions? Or should it still reflect the contributions for last financial year? As I resigned in March this year.

Provident fund contributions are not tax deductible for the 2015 year, however should still appear on your IRP5. You need to ask your employer to correct your IRP5.
