PUBLIC ACCOUNTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH, 1921. REPORT OF THE CONTROLLER AND AUDITOR - GENERAL AS REQUIRED BY SECTION 84, SUBSECTION (2), OF THE PUBLIC REVENUES ACT, 1910. The Controller and Auditor-General has the honour, in compliance with section 84 of the Public Revenues Act, 1910, to submit to Parliament the statement of accounts prepared by the Treasury Department for the financial year ended 31st March, 1921, and to report as follows : — (1.) The Treasury statement has been examined and found correct. (2.) There are no discrepancies between the statement and books of the Treasury. Accounts. The various accounts as under, dealing with the operations of the Public Account for the period under review, have been duly audited, certified to, and presented to Parliament as required by the Public Revenues Act, 1910 : — Abstract of the Public Account. Civil List Account. Appropriation Account. Unauthorized Expenditure Account. The publication of the Budget makes available each year so full an exposition of our finances that a repetition of details of like nature could only bo regarded as superfluous, and it is therefore deemed unnecessary to repeat the information here. The Auditor-General is pleased to note that, as recommended in his last year's report, legislation has been enacted to provide for meeting emergency expenditure, and thus avoid the necessity for requesting him to issue moneys under a promise of indemnity. Public Debt. During the past year the transactions in connection with the public debt have been numerous, and a resume of same may be interesting. The total amount of securities outstanding at the 31st March, 1921 (including State Advances debt) was £206,324,319, an increase during the year of £5,153,564. New loans amounting to £17,149,789 were issued during the year, but against this must be placed the amount of £11,996,250, debentures under section 3 of the Discharged Soldiers Settlement Loans Act, 1919, paid off by transfer from the Ordinary Revenue Account under section 8 of the Discharged Soldiers Settlement Loans Act, 1920, thus giving a net increase of £5,153,539 in the debt during the year. To this must be added an a.mount of £25 issued for redemption of debentures which fell due during the year but was unpaid at the 31st March, which gives the increase in securities outstanding as stated above. Securities to the amount of £6,766,210 arc held by the various funds and accounts which together form the Public Account, and are included in the amount of public debt shown as outstanding on the 31st March, 1921, but such debt is merely interdepartmental, and is therefore distinguished in the General Balance-sheet and Summary of Transactions by being shown under Debenture Sales Account (£6,137,780) and Inscribed Stock Sales Account (£628,430), instead of under Public Debt Account. During the year it was found necessary to take advantage for the first time of the provisions of the Public Revenues Act, 1910, allowing the issue of Treasury bills in aid of the Public Works Fund. Treasury bills amounting to £670,000 were so issued, but were paid off during the year out of loanmoneys received to the credit of the fund. Loans Redemption Account. Debentures amounting to £1,736,460 were paid off during the period under review, the requisite funds being provided by the issue of fresh securities of an equal amount, of which £1,474,700 was in debentures and £261,760 in inscribed stock. Loans amounting to £8,358,457 were renewed by the issue to the holders of fresh securities of an equal amount, and inscribed stock to the amount of £57.1,340 was issued in conversion or replacement of other securities. Sinking Funds. Inquiry has been made by the Audit Office as to the position of the various special sinking funds established by law for the repayment of particular loans. As a result of this action an effort is being made to ensure that, so far as statutory provisions permit, all such sinking funds shall be represented

B.—l [Pt. ll].

by realizable assets so earmarked or set aside that an actual fund may be built up available for the repayment of each loan. All loans not provided with such special sinking funds will come within the provisions of the Public Debt Extinction Act, 1910, and will eventually be repayable out of the sinking fund established by that Act. Investment op Balances of the Public Account. A feature of the year's transactions has been the large; number of investments made by the various funds and accounts in securities issued in respect of other accounts. By this means moneys raised and received have been made temporarily available where most needed, and a considerable saving of interest has thus been effected, which would not have been possible if the statutory provisions for temporary investment of public funds had not been in operation. In this connection, however, it must be pointed out that section 28 of the Finance Act, 1920, which provides for the charging of such investments against the " Public Account Cash Balance Investment Account," instead of against one or more of the funds and. accounts which form part of the Public Account, destroys to some extent the control of the cash accounts which the Audit Office is expected to exercise, as it makes it possible to actually issue moneys out of the Public Account without charging any of the accounts of which the Public Account is made up, and which must therefore be affected by any issues made therefrom. 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 certain claims 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 total of claims so passed was £5,964 17s. 9d., the details of which appear in a schedule attached hereto. Under authority contained in section 70 of the Public Revenues Act, 1910, the Audit Office passed certain vouchers, as shown in the schedule attached, which were defective for want of certificates or other relative documents. Surcharges. A considerable number of transactions calling for surcharge occurred during the year. Of these a good proportion were adjusted without formal procedure on part of Audit and the remainder disposed of as follows: — Captain Teask, Command Paymaster, Palmerston North : A deficiency in his Imprest Account caused by the defalcations of Trooper J. A. Will, £155 12s. A surcharge was issued by the Audit Office, Captain Trask having been found by a Board of Inquiry to have been culpably negligent. The amount was reduced as follows : £68 3s. paid by South British Insurance Company ; £19 6s. recovered from gratuity due J. A. Will; £18 10s. deducted from salary of Captain Trask ; leaving a balance of £49 13s. to be recovered from Captain Trask, of which he was relieved by the Hon. Minister of Defence on appeal. Captain G. 11. Grover, General Headquarters School, Treutham, was surcharged with the amount of £11 17s. 2d., being amount of salary cheque issued for payment to Inspector Livesay. The cheque was cashed at the bank on the signature of Captain Grover, who failed to account for same by acquittance of payee or by refund to Public Account. As the surcharge was not satisfied, the amount was recovered from Captain Grover's salary and paid to Public Account. Major E. L. Hoenibeook, A.D.W. : A surcharge was issued against this officer for loss of discount (£7 Is. 9d.) resulting through the claim of the Challenge heating system not being passed on for payment, Major Hornibrook being responsible for the delay in promptly forwarding. The officer surcharged appealed to the Hon. Minister of Defence, with the result that the surcharge was remitted. R. S. Den vers, District Accountant, Vocational Training, Auckland : The sum of £17 18s. Bd., received by the Vocational Accountant, Rotorua, for payment to Public Account, was by that officer, acting on the authority of Mr. R. S. Delivers, withheld from banking in contravention of the terms of Treasury Regulations 26 and 27, and the sum. was in the meantime stolen. A surcharge was issued, but on an appeal, under section 67 of the Public Revenues Act, 1910, being made to the Minister of Defence by Mr. Delivers he was relieved of £13, leaving a balance of £4 18s. Bd., which turn was paid by him to Public Account. J. L. Lee : Loss of registered letter containing £5 addressed to the Soldiers' Financial Assistance Board, signed for by Mr. <L L. Lee, who was surcharged with 50 per cent, of the amount, £2 10s., which sum was paid to Public Account. J. W. Ennis, Overseer, Awakino (Public Works Department) : A surcharge was issued against J. iW. Emrs for the loss of £1.68 3s. 9d., being money in his possession for the purpose of paying workmen employed by the Public Works Department at Awakino, and which through his negligence was stolen. Deductions amounting to £13 2s. 6d. were made from" his salary, leaving a balance (if £155 Is. 3d. to be written off, Mr. Ennis being called upon to resign on account of his unsatisfactory service. Defalcations. The Controller and Auditor-General would regard it as being amiss on his part if he failed to take advantage of this his only available opportunity of placing before the Dominion his protest against the impression of special iniquity on the part of public servants which has been created by the industrious circulation of particulars of all cases of defalcation or like irregularities which have been

B.—l [Pt. ll].

disclosed in relation to the Public Service. The fact is that offences of this nature appear to be always more common or more commonly disclosed during periods of financial stress, the reasons for which are not far to seek, but need not be set forth here. The real cause of the seemingly large proportion of Government employees involved in these cases of prosecution arises from the simple fact that in every instance of such offence in the Service proceedings are instituted in accordance with what is ruled to be Audit Office duty, whereas in the case of private or proprietary employees there is very often no action taken tor such misdeeds either as a matter of policy or some like equivalent. Even under these conditions, prosecutions taken by Audit outside the Public Service—that is, with regard to local-body officials and the like—bear at least an equal proportion to those instituted against Government servants when, the respective numbers of each are taken into account; and 1 trust that hereafter a juster view will be entertained of the reliability and integrity of the vast majority of officers of the Public Service. Defence Department. 1. W. E. Cook, a member of the Ordnance: Staff at the Featherston Military Camp, was, on the 30th June, 1920, charged with the theft of sums totalling £177 1.35. 6d., and with having made false entries in certain documents regarding the sale of military blankets. He pleaded guilty, and was sentenced by the Supreme Court to six months' imprisonment. 2. Sergeant (temp.) Greenwood and Corporal (temp.) Innes, charged with falsification of payment vouchers : Two informations were laid against Innes, (1) forgery and (2) theft. The amount with which he was charged was under £2. There were eleven similar charges against Greenwood, involving £65. The amount was later paid to Public Account. Both pleaded guilty, and were sentenced. Sergeant Greenwood : First charge—released on probation for three years ; ordered to pay costs of prosecution, £14 ss. Other charges- -to come up for sentence if called upon within three years. Corporal Innes : Released on probation for two years and to pay cost of prosecution, £3 3s. 3. Order for the supply of civilian clothing to J. Batchelor, filled in and negotiated by F. E. Oakes, whose services had previously been dispensed with on account of misconduct. Amount, £5 55., written off. 4. Sales of Admiralty stores : Shortage of £7 18s., retail cash sales. 5. A. Owen, Vocational Accountant, Military Hospital Workshop, Dunedin: Deficiency on sale of splints and surgical appliances, £86 9s. 6d. Owen had (entered in his books fictitious names and amounts supported by falsified vouchers. Amount, £72 9s. 6d. He was prosecuted and sentenced to six months' imprisonment. . 6. D. E. Sutherland, Vocational Training Staff, Wellington : Embezzlement of £72 Is. Bd. belonging to Recreation Fund and £33 lis. lOd. to Public Account. Prosecuted. Six months' hard labour. 7. W. F.

Prosecuted and sentenced to two years' reformative treatment. Government Life Insurance Department. 9. A. A. MARBYATT : Deficiency amounting to £3,575 lis. 3d. The accused managed to keep his books squared up to the end of February, 1921, by a system which he had adopted. The books did not disclose when the amounts had been received, but there was a deficiency in the amount banked. The accused had been a member of the staff for over thirty years. Three years' reformatory treatment. Labour Department. 10. W. Little : Charged with misappropriation of public moneys—£lls 10s. Acquitted. The officer responsible for the laxity which facilitated the loss had left the Service, and it was futile to surcharge. Marine Department. 11. L. E. Judd : Irregular transactions with public moneys —£57 ss. lOd. The officer was dismissed from the Public Service. No loss of money. Post and Telegraph Department. 12. William Gordon Down.es, Postal Officer, was charged at the Magistrate's Court, Wellington, on the 10th August, with having received £15 os. lid. from Richard Burgess which he failed to account for. Accused was committed for theft, and placed on probation for two years and ordered to refund the amount. Public Works Department. 13. B. T. W. Owen, Assistant Public Works Engineer, Taumarunui: Contrary to Public Service Regulations, he received payment for private work done for the Kaitieke County Council, and also signed vouchers for £100 and £110 respectively for work (surveying) done by J. C. Bradley for the same county. Charges admitted by Owen. Prosecution for forgery did not take place ; the officer was, however, dismissed the Service. Justice Department. 14. S. A. Vallis, Clerk, Magistrate's Court, Dunedin: Misappropriation of £30 2s. Three years' probation.

Accused admitted on probation for a period of twelve months. Losses, Deficiencies, Debts irrecoverable, etc., to be written off. The Audit Office submits a schedule of losses or deficiencies in cash, stores, or supply for which parliamentary authority will be required before such can be written off. The total amount is £26,283 14s. 9d. The reason for writing off is self-explanatory, the only items requiring special attention being the following : — Deficiency in stores in Chalmers Military Hospital (owing to intermixture of ie s. d. military and civil equipment, losses by theft and breakages) .. .. 612 8 2 Deficiency in respect of equipment and stores at the Auckland Military Hospital to the value of .. .. .. . . . . .. 2,322 5 3 (The Crown Solicitor advised that the responsibility could not be placed on the Auckland Hospital Board alone, and that legal proceedings could not be taken against that Board for recovery of the sum. Neither the Hospital Board nor the Defence Department appear to have taken any steps to check the equipment supplied or taken away from the hospital.) Equipment stolen from Queen Mary's Hospital, Hanmer (losses occurred through patients taking underclothing away, and the checking-system being faulty) .. .. .. .. . . .. .. 217 15 10 Advances, &c, under Discharged Soldiers Settlement Act (debtors, deceased, left New Zealand, or unfinancial) .. .. .. .. .. 10,513 18 10 Charter s.s. " Tutanekai " (amount outstanding against the Southern Isles Exploitation Company. Company gone into liquidation. No likelihood of unsecured creditors receiving any money) . . . . . . 1, 174 10 7 Repatriation : Balance of loans, &c, outstanding and irrecoverable, grantees having died or left the country, &c. .. .. .. .. 3,875 7 5 Value of Defence stores destroyed, lost, &c, during period 18th October, 1919, to 19th October, 1920 .. .. .. .. .. .. 4,570 13 9 Clothing and personal equipment, £2,247 12s. 7d. ; hospital clothing and bedding, £441 19s.

Id. ; general equipment, £119 10s. 3d. ; store losses epidemic, £22 os. 4d. ; vocational stores, £595 Is. 6d. ; electric-light stores, £2 3s. Id. War Expenses Account. The examination of the War Expenses Account has been conducted concurrently with the expenditure from the account. As this account will soon bo completed it may be interesting to give a few details :— Pre-audit and post-audit and transfer vouchers : 24,102 passed during the period. Difference of Now Zealand and Imperial pay and gratuities : 591 claims passed during period, and a total of 1,637 up to and including the 31st March, 1921. Retrospective camp pay : 15,380 claims dealt with during the period, making a total of 29,837 to the 31st March. Gratuities : The total number of gratuities passed to date is 94,183. Retrospective allowances to soldiers' dependants : The cases dealt with during the twelve months to the 31st March numbered 6,296, bringing the grand total to that date to 15,656. The final clearing of this work may be best indicated by the staff fluctuations : 16th February, 1920, total employed," 85 ; 31st March, 1920, 31 ; 31st March, 1921, 16 ; 31st July, 1921, 2. There are still left for completion approximately 400 retrospective allowances, 350 gratuities, and a small amount of work in some 3,000 ledger accounts. It is estimated by the Administration that it will take six months to dispose of this work. The expenditure on account of war expenses for the year, not taking into consideration repatriation, expenses of raising loans, or remittances, was £2,498,315. Against this a recovery of £615,279 was made on account of expenditure of previous years, leaving a net expenditure for the year of £1,883,036, including gratuities, £742,829 ; pay and allowances, £460,697 ; transport, £452,820 ; making the total expenditure from 1914 to the 31st March, 1921, with the same exclusions as above, £75,851,123, including gratuities, £5,660,467 ; pay and allowances, £30,990,207 ; and transport £8,360,439.

B.—l [Pt. ll].

Repatriation Account. The principal items involving expenditure, passed by the Audit Office during the period, are as follows : 6,342 loans, comprising 2,085 business loans and 4,257 furniture and tools loans ; 2,539 training-allowances ; 143 unemployment sustenance allowances ; 661 transportation warrants. Although the number of loans granted has been considerably reduced, the repayments have increased, and there is still a large number of trainees receiving sustenance allowances. For the year ended the 31st March, 1921, the gross expenditure of the Department was £1,050,007, and repayments of loans and other credits £378,205, leaving a net expenditure of £671,802 for the year, which makes the total figures from the inception of the Department up to 31st March, 1921 — Gross expenditure, £1,970,819 ; repayments, &c., £497,292 ; net expenditure, £1,473,527. Stores Audit. The Stores Auditor has been engaged investigating the stores systems and accounts of the various Departments of the Public Service. The Departments as under were inspected and reported upon by him. The investigation covered method of purchase, receipt, care, and custody, and accounting generally. Agriculture, Department of: Poison Depot, Frankton y Ruakura Farm. Coal Control: Firewood Depot, Wellington. Defence Department: Method of disposal of pianos and organs ex transports ; surplus stores, Wellington ; Works Branch, accounting generally. Education Department: Store system generally. Mines Department: State Coal Depot, Wellington. Marine Department: Stores system generally. Public Works Department: Stores system generally. The condition of many of those was most unsatisfactory, and the Auditor's reports thereon were sent to responsible quarters with a view to action being taken in the direction of making an improvement in their present methods. The Stores Auditor has laid down an efficient system for State Coal Depot and Marine stores. Work in connection with the following Departments has been commenced but is not yet completed : Public Health, Mental Hospitals, Police, Prisons. Attention has been frequently drawn by the Stores Auditor to the present wasteful system of purchase, and to the perfunctory method of care, custody, and accounting generally observed by Departments in connection with the purchase of stores. There is too great a tendency in some Departments to belittle the purchasing and treat it in a negligent and offhand manner—in fact, some Departments hold views of buying stores detrimental to the interests of the State, and overlook the fact that in store accounting care and accuracy are just as essential as in every other form of book-keeping. Accounts outside Public Account. Accounts. The several accounts named below have been examined and certified to as required by section 86 of the Public Revenues Act, 1910, and will be transmitted to Parliament by the respective Departments concerned : - Post Office Account. State Advances. Government Insurance. Housing Account. Government Accident Insurance. Superannuation Funds. ■ Public Trust. National Provident Fund. State Fire Insurance. Imperial Supplies Department. The examination of the accounts of this Department has been continued by the Audit Office as previously, and while the business for the twelve months has added another large volume to its record, the figures for the year show a decline on the previous year, viz. : Expenditure for twelve months ended 31st March, 1920, £37,181,640 ; and for the succeeding twelve months to 31st March, 1921, £24,500,923. These figures bring the total payments from the commencement of the Department's operations to the 31st March last to £157,592,163. A good deal of extra work was required of the branch during the period in checking the interim payments of surplus wool profits to farmers. The payments of these amounted to £1,616,069. Cook Islands Administration Audit. In accordance with the regulations, an Audit Officer was detailed during the year to proceed to Rarotonga and audit the accounts of the Cook Islands Administration. He was engaged on this duty for over three months. A large amount of detailed work was performed by him which was not an essential part of his functions, but it was yet necessary to establish a true position at date and a good foundation for the future. A copy of his report was sent to the Minister in Charge Cook Islands Administration, and also to the Resident Commissioner. Samoan Audit. In compliance with the Samoan Treasury Regulations, 1920, an Auditor (Mr. J. L. Arcus, F.1.A.N.Z., of Gold and Arcus) was sent to Samoa to audit the various accounts relating to the receipts, custody, and expenditure of public moneys. Reports of such audit have been sent to the Administrator and Minister of External Affairs. At the request of the latter, Mr. Arcus examined the books of the various estates under the control of the Commissioner of Samoan Crown Estates.

Patriotic Funds. The number of these has been greatly reduced by consolidation and other processes, and new arrangements have been made for the due audit of the residue. Public Trust Audits. The decentralization of Public Trust operations and the resulting creation of district offices have called for special provisions for audit, which have been duly made. Local Authorities' Audits. The period since the last report has been rather eventful as regards the number of actions or surcharges in relation to local bodies or members or officers thereof, the following being a list of such actions and their nature :— Boroughs, nine-—representing two defalcations, one proceedings and conviction and fine for acting as Councillor subsequent to disqualification, five recoveries of excess " unauthorized " expenditure, and one unlawful increase Mayor's honorarium. Counties, thirteen—representing two defalcations and eleven recoveries of excess " unauthorized " or illegal payment to Chairman. Education Board—one action for defalcation. Electric-power Board—one surcharge. Fire Boards —two cases surcharge. Harbour Boards —three surcharges and one case of loan-adjustment. Hospital Board—one recovery excess travelling-expenses. River Board —one recovery unlawful expenditure. Town Board —one enforced refund. All that need be said as to the details of this list is that the surcharge items were for amounts from £649 downwards, and the defalcations from £700 down to £43. There were, of course, a large number of issues of a more or less technical nature dealt with in addition to the above, which do not, however, call for detailed comment. One of the most noticeable features of the local-body section operations is the frequency with which reference is now made to the Audit Office for advice on matters of expenditure, particularly with regard to the use of loan-moneys ; and, while care is taken to make it clear that this office is not to be regarded as a legal adviser, such advice as recorded legal opinions and practical experience enable it to give is supplied, with beneficial results. There is one note of what can only be termed warning which must be struck here, and that is against the rapidly growing practice of validating violations of statute law per medium of the " Washing-up Bill " mainly, but as a matter of fact per medium of divers enactments. This practice constitutes one of the most baffling and disheartening impediments with which the Audit Office has to contend in its endeavour to secure observance of statutory obligations. It is submitted in all deference that sound and in the main wise principles of law cannot be modified or overridden year after year to meet local demands without undermining that respect for them which is essential to the maintenance of a proper standard of conduct of local-body administration or of any type of statutory administration. Where undue hardship or unanticipated injury results from the application of a general law relief is warranted, but not for the deliberately wilful contraventions thereof which certain astute local bodies now indulge in, relying upon escaping from consequences thereof by the process above referred to —which appears to be all the more easily operated if the matter at issue is of considerable magnitude. This not only violates the material and moral purpose of the governing statute, but is inequitable in its application, as offenders of minor degree, recognizing that their matter is not of sufficient importance to justify requests for legislation in relief, meet the consequences of their misdeeds, as was intended should be done in all cases. Unquestionably two years' rigid enforcement of the law would have highly beneficial disciplinary effects, and reduce deputations and demands for condoning legislation to a minimum. To pursue the present course multiplies the evil annually. Redistribution op Audit Duties. With the rapid development of the Dominion that has taken place during recent years, and which has meant the expansion of many movements as well as the inauguration of a considerable number of others, there has inevitably been a marked increase both in regard to the new features and the volume of the duties requiring to be performed by the Audit Office. Land-settlement for discharged soldiers, repatriation activities, the development of water-power as affecting local bodies as well as Government Departments, the raising of loans both by the Government and by the local authorities, the pursuance of a forestry policy, and the opening of numbers of other avenues of progress into which almost every Department has extended its service, have meant the setting-up of much legislative machinery, and consequently involved additional labour by the officers of this Department in dealing with and investigating the accounts and matters arising therefrom. So extensive has been the growth of the work of the Department that consideration will require to be given to the rearrangement of a portion of the staff in the higher grades in order to meet the present conditions. I am of opinion, then, that the service of Audit will be much more effectively carried out by the creation of three distinct divisions —namely, (1) Revenue and Expenditure, (2) Control and Public Debt, (3) Local Authorities and Inspections. By this means the several responsibilities will be more clearly placed and dealt with, and at no appreciable increase of cost. lam therefore submitting this proposal to the Public Service Commissioner for his consideration.

Administrative Comments. In respect to the examination of vouchers for payment, it requires to be mentioned that there is room for much improvement in the manner in which many of the vouchers are submitted. Deficient in regard to Ministerial or other authority, without proper description or necessary certificate, the inevitable result is delay in payment whilst the shortcomings are being remedied. There is, too, ample evidence that vouchers are sent on to the Treasury for payment or credit without any attempt being made in the originating Department to check the rates and computations, notwithstanding the onus is by the Treasury Regulations thrown on the departmental certifying officer. Much unnecessary labour is caused in this way through the incorrect vouchers having to be returned to the various Departments for correction. There is frequently noticeable a want of knowledge on the part of a very largo number of officers of different Departments respecting the obligations and responsibilities pertaining to the duties of certifying and approving officers, with the result that in some cases officers are appointed who are not properly qualified, and the value of their certificates or approval is accordingly restricted. Particularly is this the case in the matter of approving officers, who, holding delegated authority from the Minister, should not, in the opinion of the Audit Office, be other than the permanent head or the officer acting in his stead. Valedictory. If I may be permitted at this stage to depart from the third to the first person in the terms of my report, I would observe that this is in all probability the last official pronouncement which I shall have the privilege of laying before Parliament, as I purpose resigning before the end of the year. I therefore beg to convey herein my thanks to honourable Ministers for their consistent courtesy, to heads of Departments for their endeavour to at all times work in amity with the Audit Office, and to state that I am in particular indebted to the Hon. Sir Francis Bell, Attorney-General, for his kindly aid and skilled advice on crucial points of procedure, and to the Solicitor-General and the Crown Law Officers for their willing and effective help in the many and various issues which 1 have had to refer to them. To my staff, however, and in particular to certain of the sectional officers of same, I have to express an appreciation, which cannot well be put into words, of faithful service through the vicissitudes of a. period which sickness of senior officials and other causes have made one of exceptional difficulty ; and if; is largely owing to this loyal assistance that so much of a. satisfactory nature has been achieved. Finally, I have to direct the attention of Parliament to the fact that the demands made upon the Audit inspectorial and examining staffs preclude more frequent inspections in most cases than one-e in twelve months, and that audit is necessarily a post facto operation. Under these circumstances great reliance has necessarily to be placed on the work of the various departmental officers whose duty it is to exercise a frequent and strict internal check with regard to public moneys; which reliance has, I regret to say, in many instances been unjustified. Laxity of habit in this respect is, of course, known to members of a staff, and its mildest consequence is that it facilitates peculations of which Audit can only be aware after the event. Substantial reform in this matter must and can only be achieved by conscientious administrative supervision preventing wtong-domgs, rather than by Audit action in punishing them. These and various other aspects and statutory phases call for more reasonable comment than is often meted out to the Audit Office!, which by at least the: rule of tradition' or custom is precluded from refuting, as it frequently could do, the often ill-considered or unwarranted fulminations of irresponsible critics. At the same time I am ensuring that every care shall be taken to apply past experience to the Audit operations of the present and future ; and my earnest hope is that the consequence will be a conspicuous triumph for the regime of my successor as Controller and Auditor-General, my term of occupancy of which position having also, I am happy to realize, not been altogether destitute of valuable results. Robert J. Collins, Controller and Auditor-General. Audit Office, 29th September, 1921.
