PU BLIC ACCOUNTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH, 1916.
REPORT OF THE CONTROLLER AND AUDITOR - GENERAL AS REQUIRED BY SECTION 84, SUBSECTION (2), OF TDK PUBLIC REVENUES ACT, 1910. »
The Treasury statement of the Revenue and Expenditure for the year ended 31st March, 1916, was received for Audit examination after the close of last session. Upon being completed the statement was signed, and at the request of the Treasury returned for inclusion in the Appendices for the year. As provided for in section 84, subsection (2), of the Public Revenues Act, 1910, I have the honour to report that — 1. The statement has been examined and found correct. 2. The statement agrees with the books of the Treasury. 3. Vouchers as under have been passed by Audit without supporting receipts but on the authority of the Minister, as provided for by section 69 of the Public Revenues Act, 1910, the reason being that receipts were not obtained, were unobtainable, or lost.

4. Departmental Prosecutions. —During the period under review there were six prosecutions under the Public Revenues Ad and its amendments for defalcations of public moneys, accompanied in some cases by forgery, convictions being obtained in each instance. Appended is the list of offenders and the items in respect of which the charges were brought :—. £ g. d. Captain Henderson (Defence Department ... ... ... 154 7 4 V. A.

Blair (Mines Department) ... ... ... ... ... 7 0 0 Captain Hawkins (Defence Department) ... ... ... 101 7 3 5. Surcharges. —There has been a number of instances in which the Audit Office has discovered overpayments or shorl collections, but as these were adjusted it was unnecessary to issue any formal surcharge. Audit ok Details. Owing tii the additional work cast upon the Audit, consequent upon the war conditions, and the inadequate staff to deal with it—twenty-one of the officers having enlisted and twelve being detached for audit of Defence accounts. —it was found necessary to obtain the consent of the Minister to dispense with the detailed audit of accounts under section 68 of the Public Revenues Act, 1910. This dispensation does not, however, apply to war-expenses vouchers, which are preaudited, a method which has amply justified its application. War Expenditure. Complete audit and check of all claims in connection with the war expenditure is carefully •carried out. The individual accounts of all soldiers are examined and all credits and debits checked. There are about 83,000 accounts, subdivided into 170 ledgers, to be dealt with. Each soldier is paid, roughly speaking, twice monthly, and some 50,000 allotments are made to dependants, relatives, friends, savings-bank accounts, &c. Thus there are some 250.000 entries to be checked monthly into these accounts. As the Forces are scattered over England, France, Egypt, Greece, and Mesopotamia, and are paid by the various command Paymasters, and as in addition to such debits, hospital stoppages', promotions and reductions in ranks, and debits for small comforts supplied to men in hospital and charged against their pay have all to he checked, the immense amount of work involved will be readily understood. There is pre-audit of claims for ritting-up, hire, and reconditioning of transports, purchase ■of clothing and supplies, travelling-expenses, canteen supplies, forage, &c, and of imprests, checking acquittances, daily orders, allotment orders, &c. In addition to this, extra work has been involved by the establishment of Military Service Boards, the National Efficiency Board, and by the scheme for financial assistance to soldiers. Stores Audit. The matter of inspection of stores and audit of Store Accounts is still in abeyance. The recognized necessity for an efficient staff to undertake the duty, and the practical impossibility of creating and obtaining such a staff during the stress of war and liability for military services, were the grounds of my suggestion of 1915 that as the performance of the duties had not been in operation during the thirty-seven years preceding it might well be held over for the period of the war. Audit of Departmental Vouchers. I feel that I should fall short of the full discharge of my duty in relation to this report if I •did not call attention to a laxity in relation to sundry departmental vouchers. I refer to the failure of certifying and approving officers to realize the undoubted fact that the primary responsibility for the accuracy of vouchers is imposed upon them by law, and that no matter what obligations may devolve upon other officers with regard to these vouchers at later stages of their passage, no exoneration can reasonably be expected or justly granted for initial laxity or inaccuracy. I find, indeed, that not only have the essential particulars not always been verified by various departmental officers, but that the officers concerned have sometimes been quite unaware . of where, or when, or whether services were rendered or goods supplied, and yet to the accuracy of the claims therefor have duly pledged their names. Admittedly the Audit Office has •grave responsibilities also, but to look to Audit (a post factor) to counteract the neglect of those whoso everyday duty it is to maintain sound administrative conditions in their Departments is opposed to'every conception of business common-sense and equity, and to require a service which is no part of Audit functions. I may further add that no system of accountancy, however skilfully devised, can secure immunity from fraud unless the duty of ensuring that the fundamental factors of the accounts are duly supervised and accurate is consistently and conscientiously performed by the officers appointed for that purpose.

The Controller and Auditor-General would also take this opportunity to make some observations in respect of other accounts which come under his control. Audit of Local Authorities. The period which has elapsed since my former report has not produced any radical change in the merits or the weaknesses of the operations of local bodies in general, although it is gratifying to have to state that there is much more promptitude in making good any errors of charge and in bringing practice into line with statutory requirements than was the case before the custom of carrying irregularities to Court whenever necessary was adopted by Audit some four years ago. The same strange variance of conception respecting the obligations relating to the treatment of personal and public moneys is, however, still strongly in evidence, with the result that in the period under review a vast amount of time and correspondence were involved on the part of this Office in dealing with technical and essential breaches of statute, the following cases being brought to a •successful issue, either by official pressure or by process of law, in which latter operations the Crown Law Office was in all cases successful : — Amount Xo. £ Recoveries of subsidies ... ... ... ... ... 17 852 ~ under surcharge ... ... ... ... 71 2,402 to public fund. ... ... ... ... 2 1,100 Loan adjustments ... ... ... ... ... 62 34,818 Criminal prosecutions and convictions ... ... ... 5 There were, in addition to these, sundry overdraft adjustments and illegal borrowing validations enforced. Patriotic Funds Audit. Additional responsibilities have been placed upon the Audit Office by the War Funds Act, 1915, and notwithstanding that it involved much more work (between four hundred and five hundred funds being approved), the service has been smoothly and effectively dealt with. Pleasing features in this relation are the facts that a large amount of gratuitous audit has been performed by various public auditors of the first rank in their profession, and that with two or three notable exceptions the operations in inaugurating, accounting tor, and administering funds have given no serious cause for complaint. Imperial Government Supplies Department. When the Department commenced operations in March, 1915, an additional sphere of work, imposed by section 31 of the Public Revenues Act, was created for the Audit Office. At first, when meat was the only article of produce handled, the extra work entailed but little disarrangement of the permanent duties of the staff. However, contemporaneous with the increase in the audit of the operations of the Department the work of the Audit Office has increased, and now a special branch is required to cope with an audit of considerable magnitude. The volume of work can be gauged by the fact that the payments to the 31st March last amounted to £27,787,735, representing purchases and incidental expenses on behalf of the Imperial Government on account of meat, cheese, wool, skins, hides, and scheelite. There are also included payments made on behalf of the local Government for butter and cheese for military supplies, the price-of-butter-equalization scheme, and the receipts on butter-fat, all of which accounts have been audited to the 31st March, and found to be satisfactorily kept. In connection with the payment for produce for the Imperial Government the Audit Office requires that the purchases are in conformity with the conditions arranged by the controlling authorities, and in some cases the concurrence of the Imperial Government is also required. A continuous detailed audit has been instituted, an outline of the scope of which has been drawn up for submission by the High Commissioner to the consignees in London for purposes of co-ordination with the Imperial Government Auditors.

.h 1 1,1 S 1 Vt ' : REPORT OF THE CONTROLLER AND AUDITOR-GENERAL AS REQUIRED BY SECTION 84, SUBSECTION (2), OF THE PUBLIC REVENUES ACT, 1910. I have the honour to transmit to Parliament the statement of the Revenue and Expenditure of the Public Account for the financial year ended 31st March, 1917, and to report as follows : — Accounts. The statement submitted by the Treasury has been examined and found correct, and there are no discrepancies between the statement and the books of the Treasury. The returns as under which show the operations of the various Public Accounts for the financial year have been duly audited, certified to, and presented to Parliament as prescribed by law : — Abstract of the Public Account. Civil List Account. Appropriation/Account. ' . Unauthorized Expenditure Account. I Many of the items included in the latter account were disallowed by the Audit as not coming within the provisions of the law, and therefore could only be passed as against " Unauthorized Expenditure." Imperfect Vouchers. , As required by section 69 of the Public Revenues Act, 1910, the, authority of the Minister of Finance was given to the Audit Office to pass the claims as under without the production of supporting vouchers, on the grounds (1) that receipts were not obtained, (2) that it was not possible to obtain them, or (3) that they were lost and could not be replaced.

The company, however, pointed out that it would be a matter of the utmost difficulty to supply receipts, as the expenditure was included in vouchers covering other classes of expenditure unconnected with the transports. With the approval of the Minister the claims were passed by Audit on the certificate of the manager of the Union Steamship Company as to their correctness, and where receipts could not be supplied a certified copy of each account was attached, the originals of which were available for inspection by the Audit Department at the Head Office. Similar action was taken with the accounts of the New Zealand Shipping and other like companies. Surcharges. There are no unsatisfied surcharges There has been a number of instances in which excess payments or short collections have been made, but as these were subsequently adjusted, or explained it was unnecessary for the Audit Office to take any further action. Several overpayments arising from laxity on the part of certain officers were detected, but no surcharges were issued, as it was found difficult to fix the responsibility on any particular individual. Defaulters. During the past year there were six prosecutions under the Public Revenues Act in connection with defalcations of public moneys, two of which defalcations were accompanied by forgery,

convictions being obtained in each case. Particulars are as follows, the sum total involved being .£4,050 7s. 2d., and the recoveries thereon £2,885 18s. 4d. : — 11. G.

Wallace, foreman carpenter, Public Works Department, Auckland : Misappropriation and forgery, £127 17s. (recovered). Captain R. C. Hocking, Defence Department, Auckland : £26. Failure to account for this amount resulted in Captain Hocking being proceeded against in the Magistrates' Court, Auckland, and he was convicted and fined £100. Considering the magnitude of the financial transactions of the Public Service I cannot but express the opinion that the losses in the way of misappropriation are very small. Moneys irbJ-COVBRabE-, It was, of course, inevitable under war conditions that overpayments would take place in regard to the pay of returned or deceased soldiers, and sundry of such overpayments have been found to be irrecoverable, while in various instances where refunds might have been obtained the recovery would have created unwarrantable hardships, and the claims were consequently not enforced. These will all be included in the list of irrecoverable, submitted to Parliament for authority to write off. Audit Results not previously reported. As a result of the Audit examinations of the past three years various claims' against the Public Account have been reduced, credits obtained, and savings effected to the amount of £7,695. The Staff. The constantly enlarging sphere of Audit operations has made it necessary for me to employ, at least for the period of the war, a considerable number of female clerks to cope with certain classes of the work. Twenty-two of these are employed at Head Office and its branches, while fortyfive are engaged on the war-expenses audit, and the result has so far been satisfactory. Notwithstanding the stress of war conditions the various phases of Audit service have been well maintained, and I have substantial grounds for believing that a certain amount of leeway caused by the sudden drain on the staff some three years ago will soon be made up. This satisfactory position is being attained by the staff's close attention to its duties, and 1 hereby express my appreciation of the good work done by them. Robert J. Collins, Controller and Auditor-General Audit Office, Wellington, 17th August, 1917.
