PUBLIC ACCOUNTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH, 1927.

KKI'ORT OF THK CONTROL!,Kit AND AUMTOR-GtENfcRAL I have the honour to submit my report for the year ending 31st March, 1927, in terms of subsections (2) and (3) of section 89 of the Public Revenues Act, 1926, which sets out in detail the several headings under which the Controller and Auditor-General is required to present his report to Parliament, and which reads as follows: — "89. (1) The Treasury shall as soon as practicable after the end of every financial year prepare and send to the Audit Office a statement of the revenue and expenditure of the Public Account during that year. " (2) The Controller and Auditor-General shall forthwith examine that statement, and prepare and sign a report showing— " (a) The particulars of any discrepancies between such statement and the books of the Treasury : " (6) Full particulars of every case in which the provisions of this or any other Act, or the regulations or any forms, have not been carried out or adopted, or have in any manner been varied or departed from : " (c) Every case of failure to deliver or send in accounts or to collect or account for any moneys or stores : " (rf) All sums allowed or disallowed without vouchers or with imperfect vouchers or upon incorrect certificates : " (e) Any proceeding that may have been taken by or against any person in pursuance of the provisions of this Act or the regulations : " (/) All unsatisfied surcharges which have been made by the Controller and AuditorGeneral and all surcharges disallowed by a Minister on appeal: " (g) In what accounts the Controller and Auditor-General has, with the consent of the Minister, dispensed with a detailed audit : " (h) Such other information as may be prescribed, or as the Controller and AuditorGeneral thinks desirable. " (3) The Controller and Auditor-General shall annex or append to the said report copies of all cases laid by him before the Attorney-General for his opinion, together with a copy of the opinion given in every such case." Section 89 (2) (a), Public Revenues Act, 1926. No discrepancies exist between the statement of revenue and expenditure of the Public Account as presented with this report and the books of the Treasury. The audit of the accounts is continuous throughout the year, and any errors which are disclosed are rectified at the time. There are consequently no discrepancies remaining when the statement of accounts is finally submitted for the signature of the Controller and Auditor-General and for submission to Parliament. Section 89 (2) (b), Public Revenues Act, 1928. Exchange of Securities. On the 13th April, 1927, the Treasury submitted entries for the exchange of £370,300 securities with the Post Office, and it was proposed to record the exchange in the accounts for last financial year by antedating the transaction to the 31st March, 1927. It appeared to the Audit Office that no authority existed for such, an exchange of securities, and that it was not proper to include in the accounts for 31st March transactions which did not actually take place until 13th April. The matter was brought under the notice of the Treasury, and it was stated in reply that the exchange was being made with the object of redeeming war debt out of surplus during the previous financial year, and the Treasury specially requested that-no obstacle should if possible be placed in the way of carrying out this object. In these circumstances the Audit Office agreed to pass the entries, and subsequently obtained the opinion of the Solicitor-General as to the validity of the transaction. An opinion has

B.—l [Pt. 111.

since been received from the Solicitor-General to the effect that the exchange of securities and the antedating of the transaction were both without authority of law. This opinion has been communicated to the Treasury, and 110 further action in regard to the matter would appear to be necessary. Land for Settlements Account. During the year securities for moneys raised for the Land for Settlements Account amounting to £20,400 were redeemed out of the Ordinary Revenue Account of the Consolidated Fund. Redemption out of ordinary revenue did not appear to be contrary to law, but, as the effect would be to relieve the Land for Settlements Account of the liability, and the interest thereon, at the expense of the Consolidated Fund, the matter was brought under the notice of the Treasury, and it was agreed that legislation should be drafted to place the matter in order. Purchase of Wheat, 1925-26. In connection with the purchase of wheat for the 1925-26 season the Audit Office was given to understand that the purchase was to be made by the Government on behalf of the millers, who were to advance the money required. Such a transaction appeared to be in order, and the vouchers were passed accordingly, the transactions being recorded by means of a Deposit Account. During last year it transpired, however, that the transaction was viewed not as a purchase on behalf of the millers, but as a purchase on Government account, and that the Government was to retain the profit arising from the transaction. As it did not appear that a Department of State could properly purchase wheat on Government account without authority of Parliament, the matter was brought under the notice of the Treasury, which has promised to recommend legislation validating the procedure. The transfer of the profit to miscellaneous revenue has accordingly been passed by Audit subject to the introduction of such legislation. Issue of Commissioners' Orders for Payment of Interest in London. Section 79 of the Public Revenues Act, 1926, contemplates the issue of bank orders in New Zealand for the payment of the charges of the public debt in London, and section 82 of that Act enables a Commissioners' order to be issued in London should such bank order not be received in England in time for payment. To avoid delays in the transmission of advices between Wellington and London, with consequent loss of interest, it has been found advisable to issue Commissioners' orders for the payment of interest in London in every case. The Audit Office has agreed to this change, subject to the amendment of the Public Revenues Act so far as may be necessary to cover the altered system. Issue of Inscribed Stock. Section 7 of the New Zealand Inscribed Stock Act, 1917, provides that, except in the case of conversions, stock may not be inscribed for an amount less than £100. During the year a case came under the notice of the Audit Office in which an amount of stock issued in redemption of debentures had been inscribed contrary to the provisions of the Act. The attention of the Treasury was drawn to the matter, and I am informed that it is proposed to promote legislation with a view to meeting the position. The inscription of the stock in question has accordingly been passed by Audit subject to the necessary authority being provided. Consolidated Stock Loans not allocated to Accounts. I had occasion in my last report to call attention to consolidated-stock loans amounting to £55,671,994 lis. Id. which had not been allocated to accounts, and full particulars of the allocation of this stock were subsequently placed before Parliament by the Treasury (8.-2, 1926). In some cases it was found necessary to allocate the stock loans on a proportional basis, and owing to the lapse of time an effective audit in detail of the allocation was not practicable. The basis on which the allocation was made by the Treasury appeared, however, to be a reasonable one, but it was deemed advisable by the Audit Office, in view of the fact that the allocation was to some extent arbitrary, that the approval of Parliament should be obtained before the allocation was made effective in the accounts. The Treasury has accordingly intimated that a suitable clause validating the adjustment of the various accounts in accordance with the allocation will be introduced during the present session, and the accounts embodying the allocation have been passed by Audit subject to such validating legislation. Governor-General's Warrant. It is provided by section 54 of the New Zealand Constitution Act, 1852, and also by section 53 of the Public Revenues Act, 1926, that no moneys shall be issued out of the Public Account except in pursuance of a Warrant under the hand of the Governor-General. It has hitherto been customary to request the issue of a single Warrant covering payments out of both the Public Account in London and Wellington, and the Audit Office, before countersigning issue requisitions and bank orders, has necessarily assured itself that the balance of the Warrant was sufficient to cover them. Early in August, 1926, however, it was discovered that issues amounting to over £300,000 had been made in excess of the Warrant. This arose through the payment of large amounts from the New Zealand Public Account, London, at the end of July by means of Commissioners' orders (which are issued in London), the requisitions for which were not submitted by the Treasury until the sth and 6th August, when it was found the Warrant had been overdrawn. A fresh Warrant was at once obtained to cover the amount.

IV

B.—l [Pt/ll].

To obviate the possibility of overdrawing the Warrant in this manner it has now been arranged that separate Warrants shall be obtained for issues from the London and Wellington Branches of the Public Account respectively, and it will be impossible in future to issue moneys not covered by the Governor-General's Warrant without the knowledge of the Audit Office. The new system has been found to work smoothly. An amendment to form (3) in the First Schedule to the Public Revenues Act, 1926, appears to be necessary to give authority for the issue of separate Warrants for the Public Account in New Zealand and the New Zealand Public Account in London, and the Treasury has expressed its intention to promote such amendment. WofiKiNG Railways Account. Interest on Capital.—Section 38 (1) {a) of the Government Railways Act, 1926, provides that there shall from time to time be paid out of the Working Railways Account into the Consolidated Fund interest on the total amount of capital moneys expended in respect of the railways. By Regulation No. 7 (New Zealand Gazette, 1926, Vol. 1, page 537) provision is made under which such interest is to be paid monthly. It was ascertained by Audit that such interest was not being paid monthly as provided by the regulation, portion of the amounts due being in some cases held over for several months. The attention of the Treasury was drawn to the matter, and it was pointed out in reply that it seemed inequitable that the payment of interest should be made monthly by the Railways Department while the payment from the Consolidated Fund to the Working Railways Account, under section 37 (1) (b) of the Act, in respect of losses on branch lines, was to be made only at six-monthly intervals under Regulation 16. The matter was referred to the Crown Law Office, which held that the one payment could not legally be set off against the other. Further regulations were therefore made by an Order in Council dated 30th March, 1927, enabling the payments from the Consolidated Fund under section 37 (1) (b) of the Act to be made monthly, as a set-off against the payment of interest. Government Railways Superannuation Fund. —Section 114 of the Government Railways Act, 1926> provides for increased benefits for widows and children of deceased contributors to the above fund, and states that there shall, without further appropriation than this section, be paid out of the Consolidated Fund to the Superannuation Fund an amount sufficient to provide for the payments to be made pursuant to this section. Provision is also made by item No. 1 under the Working Railways vote for these payments to be made out of the Working Railways Account. As there are two separate provisions for the same payments to be made from different accounts the intention is not clear, but the only way of complying with the law would apparently be to pay in the first place from the Consolidated Fund, and to recoup that fund by a charge against the Working Railways vote. No payment has, however, been made out of the Consolidated Fund as required by section 114, the payments having all been made out of the Working Railways Account. It is understood that an amendment of the law is to be considered with a view of making the matter clear. Should it be decided to amend section 114 to enable the charge to be made against the Working Railways Account instead of the Consolidated Fund, it would seem advisable to similarly amend section 119 (b) of the Government Railways Act, 1926, to enable the deficiency therein mentioned to be met out of the Working Railways Account. Education Endowments. Education Reserves Amendment Act, 1914. —During the year it was noticed by the Audit Office that capital moneys belonging to education endowments amounting to £7,850 12s. lOd. were lying uninvested. These moneys were the proceeds of sales of education-endowment lands under section 3 of the Education Reserves Amendment Act, 1914, and under that section are required to be invested in other lands to be held for the same educational purposes as the land sold. The Education Department proposes to introduce legislation to enable such moneys to be temporarily invested, so that interest may be earned on the capital sum pending final disposal in the manner contemplated by the Act. Education Reserves Amendment Act, 1924, Section 4.—Subsection (3) of section 4 of the Education Reserves Amendment Act, 1924, provides that the revenues from secondary-education endowments in each provincial district shall be paid by quarterly instalments to the governing bodies of secondary schools in that district, " in proportion to the number of pupils in average attendance at the several secondary schools, exclusive of the pupils in any lower department." The phrase " average attendance " is not defined in the Act, but was defined by an Order in Council (New Zealand Gazette, 1911, Vol. 11, page 2908) as the average attendance for the year ending 31st December preceding. During the year this Order in Council came under the review of the Crown Law Office in connection with a case referred by the Education Department regarding the establishment of new secondary schools, and was held to be ultra vires, it being stated that legally the quarterly payments should be based on the average attendance for the quarter in respect of which the payment is made. It follows from this ruling that the payments of secondary-education revenues to the secondary schools have since the year 1911 not been made strictly in the manner required by law. As there are difficulties in the way of paying over the revenues in the manner required by the Act, it is proposed to seek an amendment of the law. In anticipation of such amendment the Audit Office has passed the payments to secondary schools during the year on a basis as near as practicable to that required by the present Act.

Discharged Soldiers Settlement Account. Section 8 (1) (b) of the Repayment of the Public Debt Act, 1925, provides that the sum of £13,500,000, which was transferred by way of loan from the Consolidated Fund to the Discharged Soldiers Settlement Account, less any amounts lawfully written off by virtue of the operation of the Discharged Soldiers Settlement Acts, is to form part of the capital moneys of the Public Debt Redemption Fund. This amount has been shown in the capital of the Redemption Fund ; but, as the report on the Discharged Soldiers Settlement Account (C.-9, 1926) showed that reductions made in capital values of securities by the Dominion Revaluation Board to the 31st March, 1926, amounted to £2,480,808, the Treasury was asked if the necessary deduction from the £13,500,000 should not be made in the accounts. As, however, there appeared to be some doubt as to the interpretation of the Repayment of the Public Debt Act, 1925, in this connection, the opinion of the Solicitor-General was sought, and it was found that the asset to form part of the Public Debt Redemption Fund was not the liability of the Discharged Soldiers Settlement Account to the Consolidated Fund (£13,500,000), but the actual mortgages and other assets representing the advances to discharged soldiers out of the £13,500,000. It naturally follows, therefore, that the interest on these mortgages, which was being paid to the Discharged Soldiers Settlement Account, should by law be paid into the Consolidated Fund. As the Treasury found it inconvenient to alter the procedure which had been hitherto followed, in order to bring it into accord with the requirement of the present law it proposed to ask for amending legislation dealing with the matter, and under these circumstances the Audit Office agreed that no alteration should be made pending the introduction of legislation. No action has therefore yet been taken to reduce the amount of £13,500,000 shown as capital moneys of the Redemption Fund, though it is known that this amount will be subject to considerable reduction when the final adjustments are made in the accounts. Meat-export Control Act, 1921-22. During the recess a proposal was submitted to Audit to authorize the expenditure of money in the purchase of a site in London by the New Zealand Meat Producers Board for the purpose of erecting a cold-storage building, with the object of reducing storage rates in force in London. The Audit Office was asked to pass a sum of £875 for payment in order that an option might be secured for six months in regard to the site. It appeared to Audit that there was no legal authority for such payment, but as it was represented that there was urgency in the matter, payment was passed on the understanding that the Government would take steps to submit to Parliament any validating legislation that might be found to be necessary. In order to ascertain whether statutory authority existed in the Meat-export Control Act, 1921-22, the position was placed before the Solicitor-General, who, although expressing some doubt about the matter, finally decided that no such power existed.

Section 89 (2) (e), Public Revenues Act, 1926. A record of the cases in which proceedings have been taken in pursuance of the Public Revenues Act or regulations thereunder is included in the statement under paragraph 89 (2) (c). Section 89 (2) (f), Public Revenues Act, 1926. There are no surcharges imposed by the Controller and Auditor-General remaining unsatisfied, nor have any surcharges been disallowed during the year by the Minister on appeal. Section 89 (2) (g), Public Revenues Act, 1926. Section 72 of the Public Revenues Act, 1926, reads as follows: — " The Controller and Auditor-General may, with the consent of the Minister, dispense with the detailed audit of any accounts, but not with any appropriation audit of such accounts. The consent of the Minister shall be given only in those cases in which he considers that there are circumstances which render a detailed audit under this Act unnecessary: Provided that a list of such cases shall be comprised and published in the Controller and Auditor-General's report in each year." The only instance in which the Minister of Finance has during the year agreed to dispense with a detailed audit is in the case of the London accounts of the Dairy-produce Control Board. The Board has appointed a firm of chartered accountants in London to examine the consignment ledgers and to report to the London Agency on every account sale, and it appeared to be unnecessary to impose this duty also on the London Audit Staff. This arrangement, however, does not relieve the London Audit Officer entirely as he will continue to audit the Income and Expenditure, but it will relieve him of the duty of checking certain detajls of the sales of produce. Nor does it in any way affect the examination of the Board's accounts in New Zealand which will be carried out in detail as usual. Section 89 (2) (h), Public Revenues Act, 1926. Repayment of the Public Debt Act, 1925. Questions have frequently been raised regarding the soundness of the principle of redeeming our loans out of revenue whilst at the same time we are borrowing fresh capital at rates of interest which are perhaps as high or even higher than the rates applicable to the loans being redeemed. It has been suggested that it would prove more profitable to use for expenditure

on capital works any revenue which may be available, and thus reduce, our borrowing by an equal amount, and allow the old loans to run on. If it were possible for the Dominion to provide annually out of revenue sufficient to supply the whole of the loan requirements of Government for works, and make it unnecessary to raise any loans in London, something might be said in support of this view, but so long as we require to go on the London market for loanmonevs so long will it be necessary for us to provide a sound system of sinking fund for the repayment of the moneys borrowed. Whatever may be the views of the borrowers, however, on this important matter it is obvious that the views of the lenders of the money must receive first consideration, and there is ample evidence to show that the provision in New Zealand for a system of debt-repayment based on thoroughly sound principles meets with favour in London financial circles, and enables us to obtain our loans on more favourable terms than would be the case if no such provision for debt-repayment existed. An eminent authority on national finance writes as follows : " Financial virtue requires that the good work of redemption should be carried on with regularity and as quickly as possible. ... At bottom the object of making provision of the sort is to maintain the nation's credit amongst lenders. Nothing is more encouraging to a lender than to see his debtor paying off debt with reasonable rapidity and with absolute regularity, according to a fixed programme." Again he says : "To the deterioration of credit two things in particular contribute —to borrow when you can do without, and not to pay back when you can. To labour at the repayment of debt whenever times of peace and prosperity make that possible, and to maintain with rigid virtue a liberal provision therefor, are amongst the strongest obligations of patriotic statesmanship. They are also amongst the most difficult to fulfil. There is little popularity to be gained by repaying debt. Nobody feels immediately the benefit of it; that lies hidden in the future. It is fatally easy to divert funds to some more showy purpose, from which somebody with a voice and a vote will get direct benefit. It is easy, but it is disastrous." It must also be borne in mind, when comparing the present rates of interest for new loans with the lower rates applicable to the older loan securities being redeemed, that the latter, on account of the lower rate of interest, will as a rule be purchasable at a considerable discount, making the transaction a more profitable one than would at first appear to be the case. For example, our 4-per-cent. securities maturing in 1943-63 could at the present time be purchased on the London market at about £86, thus effecting a capital saving of approximately £14 per cent., in addition to an annual saving of interest to the Consolidated Fund equal to 10s. per cent. Under the operation of the Repayment of the Public Debt Act, 1925, public-debt securities of a nominal value of £1,831,752 13s. 2d. had at the 31st March, 1927, been redeemed and cancelled, at a cost of £1,809,868 7s. 6d. These transactions have effected an annual saving of interest to the Consolidated Fund equal to the difference between 3|- per cent, (fixed by the Act) and the rate which was payable on the securities redeemed. The following statement shows the rate of interest that was payable on the redeemed securities, and indicates that an annual saving of interest to the Consolidated Fund amounting to £27,043 9s. 3d. will be effected as a result of the redemptions to the 31st March, 1927

It must be remembered that the scheme is only in its infancy. In each successive year the amount of moneys available for cancellations will increase, and consequently the saving of interest will as time goes on assume very much larger proportions. In consequence of the passing of section 22 of the Finance Act, 1926, which exempted, from the operation of the Repayment of the Public Debt Act, 1925, certain separate accounts, it was found that some of these accounts would suffer the loss of the sinking funds which they had built up out of their own moneys in previous years, and which funds now form part of the capital of the Public Debt Redemption Fund, and would also lose the interest earned by such funds, which is now payable to the Consolidated Fund. The Land for Settlements Account, for example, would lose sinking funds amounting to just under £1,180,000, which are earning interest amounting to about £60,000 per annum. This matter was brought under the notice of the Treasury, and an assurance has been received that legislation will be sought rectifying the position as regards the principal moneys. As it is clear that these separate accounts have an equitable right to receive the interest on the funds which they alone have created, it would seem necessary that the matter of interest should also be provided for.

Some difficulty has also been experienced in carrying out the provisions of section 22 of the Finance Act, 1926, which exempts separate accounts from the necessity of contributing to the debt redemption scheme. In the respective principal Acts under which certain of these are constituted special provisions are contained requiring the accounts to contribute towards a sinking fund in respect of the loans of those accounts. These special provisions were not repealed when section 22 of the Finance Act, 1926, was enacted, and in view of the apparent conflict between the Acts no effect is now being given to the special provisions referred to. I may cite as an instance the case of the Waihou and Ohinemuri Rivers Improvement Act, 1910, which contains special provisions for making payments out of the account towards a sinking fund, and also provisions for recovery from various contributories of the amounts so paid. These special provisions have not been repealed and appear to be in conflict with section 22 of the Finance Act, 1926. In the absence of any repeal of these special provisions Audit has had some doubts as to whether it was the intention of Parliament to wholly relieve the separate account and the various contributing bodies of all liability to contribute towards a sinking fund in respect of the loans raised under the principal Act. The position has been placed before the Treasury for action should it be found necessary. Departmental Accounts and Balance-sheets. The work of auditing the Government Departments, some of which have been in arrear owing to shortage of staff, has been actively pressed forward during the year, and although there are still some arrears outstanding I am pleased to say that the instances in which audit is not up to date are now comparatively few. These arrears comprise several of the larger Courts and also several of the offices of Receivers of Land Revenue, in respect to which the overtaking of arrears is a slow and laborious task owing to the great quantity of detailed checking which has to be carried out. Generally speaking, the result of the audit inspection of departmental accounts has revealed that the records are well kept and that the collection of revenue has been satisfactorily attended to. A large number of questions regarding departmental accounts which have come under the notice of Audit Inspectors and which they have deemed it necessary to refer to in their reports, have been taken up with the Treasury and the Departments concerned, and in many instances improved methods have in consequence been adopted by the Receivers concerned. Reports have been regularly furnished to the Minister of Finance in terms of section 68 (2) of the Public Revenues Act showing the general result of the inspection, examination, and audit of the books and accounts of accounting officers or other persons in the Public Service. All Departments have submitted Income and Expenditure Accounts or Revenue Accounts and Balance-sheets during the year, all of which have been examined by the Audit Office. I have again to report continued improvement in the method of preparation of these accounts. As forecasted last year, semi-continuous audits were conducted in several Departments, which should result in a much more expeditious presentation of the accounts of those Departments during the current year. This should be noticeable in the case of the Post and Telegraph Department. It is hoped to extend this practice wherever possible during the current year. It has been found difficult with the staff available to audit all Land Office accounts in sufficient time each year to enable the Balance-sheet to be prepared from audited figures in the case of some of the local districts, before submitting them to Parliament. Improvement in this direction is anticipated in the near future. Audit, however, has every confidence in the accuracy of the Department's figures as submitted. So far as the examination of accounts by Audit is concerned, difficulty is always experienced in checking the allocation of capital and revenue expenditure made by a Department. This could readily be obviated if the estimates of the Departments were prepared separating capital items from revenue items. The effect would be that Audit would be able to satisfy itself, by detailed examination of every voucher, that amounts were correctly treated as capital items, whereas at present a somewhat perfunctory test only is possible. It is not customary in some Departments to charge interest on the cost of works under construction. This is not in accord with Audit views, and will be far-reaching in its effects, as Departments holding assets constructed out of Public Works Fund will not reflect in their Balancesheets the true capital cost of the works, and the Revenue Accounts of such Departments will also not reflect the true amount of interest chargeable. The practice is also inconsistent with the system adopted in the Electric Supply Account, in which case interest during construction is being charged. A semi-continuous audit of the Meat Producers, Dairy Producers, and Fruit Producers Boards has been maintained. The operations of the Dairy Producers Board grew to very large proportions on the board assuming absolute control of dairy-produce, and by the 31st March, 1927, 1,450,000 boxes of butter and 590,000 crates of cheese had been shipped to various countries for disposal by the Board. Departmental Balance-sheets have now been prepared annually over a series of years, and they are being constructed in such a way that the public, or that portion of the public which understands the primary principles of accountancy, can readily watch the trend of expenditure on the various activities of the Government and form a fair conclusion as to the results of their investments. It is well, however, to sound a word of warning in this connection, as there is an almost universal tendency on the part of the taxpayer to compare Government activities with commercial undertakings without considering the wide difference which exists between the objects to be attained by

XIII

B.—l [PT. ll].

each. A commercial project is undertaken with a view of gain, and no capital would be embarked unless the undertaking offered a reasonable prospect of profit. In the case of Government concerns the primary object is the promotion of progress and prosperity of the country ; and although it is desirable that such concerns should, as far as is possible, by good management and economical administration, be at least self-supporting, the real test of success or otherwise should be expressed rather by the amount of the economic advantage derived than in pounds shillings and pence. Especially is this the case with the Railway Department Balance-sheet, which may show a loss as measured by the excess of expenditure over revenue, but if judged from the point of view" of the advancement of settlement and the economic welfare of the Dominion the balance would probably be quite on the other side. A proposal for a co-operative buying scheme for Hospital Boards led to representations being made by the Boards to the Treasury with a view of ascertaining whether the Treasury would assist the Boards in making payment for overseas purchases. The Audit Office expressed the opinion that, whilst there did not appear to be any serious objection to the machinery of the Public Account being used for the purpose of purchasing hospital supplies, it was advisable that legislative authority should be obtained for such services. It also suggested that the required cash should be first lodged by the Boards to the Public Account, and that a charge sufficient to cover the cost of services rendered by officers of the High Commissioner's Office should be made. Locai Authorities. In my last year's report I commented on the fact that, owing largely to insufficiency of staff in past years, the work of auditing local authorities' accounts had been allowed to fall into arrear. I am pleased to be able to report that the inspectional staff has now been increased, and that the arrears have been very considerably reduced. As soon as the work has been brought quite up to date, there should be no difficulty in keeping it so, provided the accounts are submitted for audit promptly by the local bodies. In many instances, however, delays in a.udit of local authorities' accounts are due entirely to the fact that balance-sheets are not ready for examination at a reasonable date. Local-authority accounts are annually increasing in size and numbers, and to-day the audit work in connection with this branch alone has assumed considerable proportions, as will be seen from the following figures : Borough Councils audited, 120 ; County Councils, 126 ; Electric-power Boards, 45 ; Hospital Boards, 50 ; Town Boards, 73 ; Harbour Boards, 41 ; River Boards, 46 ; Drainage Boards, 68 ; Road Boards, 46 ; educational bodies, 78 ; Fire Boards, 51 ; Rabbit Boards, 50 ; Cemetery Boards, 338 ; Domain Boards, 735 ; various, 99 : total, 1,966. The varying provisions of law governing the payment of travelling-expenses to members of local authorities is a matter which has previously been commented upon by me, and Audit continues to experience considerable difficulty in maintaining observance of the various statutes in this respect. Separate provisions regarding travelling are contained in the several Acts of Parliament governing local authorities, and breaches of these provisions, either through ignorance or carelessness, or open disregard of the law, are constantly occurring, and lead to interminable correspondence between Audit and local bodies. It has been suggested that legislation should be introduced, providing for uniformity of treatment of members of all iocal bodies as regards travelling-allowances. Another matter to which I again desire to call attention, is the statutory provisions governing the disqualification of members of local authorities ; and in this respect also the various governing statutes provide each for its own condition of disqualification. A member of one local authority may, under certain conditions, be disqualified, whilst, under exactly similar circumstances, a member of another local body would retain his seat. In the case of some local authorities a disqualified member may seek re-election immediately, whilst in the case of one other a member disqualified for an identical breach of law is debarred from re-election for a period of three years. Audit finds some difficulty in administering those sections in the Municipal Corporations Act, 1920, which deal with trading accounts —viz., sections 110 to 125—and suggests that early consideration should be given to their revision. The sections as at present enacted render it impossible for Audit to eompel a true statement of profit and loss to be prepared, as there is no obligation on the part of local authorities to provide for adequate depreciation of the plant and machinery used in the undertaking. In many cases also, the period of the currency of the loans out of which the assets are created is greatly in excess of the estimated life of such assets, and the amounts set aside to provide for the repayment of the loans at maturity date are in many cases totally inadequate for such purpose. For these reasons provision for depreciation should be made mandatory, otherwise new loans will require to be raised for replacing the plant or machinery during the life of the original loans, and the burden of debt will thereby be increased unaccompanied by any corresponding increase in the earningcapacity of the undertaking. Audit realizes, however, that to make it compulsory to annually charge full and proper depreciation, as well as to set aside a sufficient sinking fund to repay the loan at maturity, in addition to the annually recurring expenditure on repairs, &c., would entail a heavy burden in the case of the less successful undertakings, and therefore suggests that legislation should also provide that from the amount required for depreciation a local authority may, if it thinks fit, deduct the amount of sinking fund set aside for repayment of such parts of the relative loans as have been expended in the purchase of the depreciable assets. During the year defalcations on the part of local-body officials amounted to seven in number and these were in every instance dealt with by criminal action. The following is a list of breaches of statute by local-body members and officers which have been dealt with by the Audit Office during the year, and in all cases adjustments have been required or

An approved copy of the following Departments' new Stores Rules has not yet been received in the Audit Office : Native Affairs, Printing and Stationery, External Affairs, Prisons, Labour, State Fire Insurance, Immigration, Income-tax, State Advances, Justice, Valuation, Superannuation Board, National Provident. With regard to the Department of Agriculture, although good progress has been made in improving the system of accounting for stores, a copy of the proposed Stores Rules has not yet reached Audit. The Government Railways Board has intimated that the reorganization of the Stores Branch is still in hand, and that the revised Stores Rules would not be issued before the end of this year. Good progress is being made by the Post and Telegraph Department in connection with the new system of accounting for stores ; a copy of their proposed Stores Rules has not yet been received. Section 91 (2), Public Revenues Act, 1926. Statement of Royalties Payable to the Crown and Unpaid at 31st March, 1927. Section 91 (2) of the Public Revenues Act, 1926, reads as follows : — " The Controller and Auditor-General shall include in the report to be prepared by him pursuant to subsection two of section eighty-nine hereof a statement as to all royalties payable to the Crown and for the time being unpaid, setting forth in respect of such royalties,— " (a) The name of the person by whom the same are payable ; " (b) The amount payable by each such person ; and " (c) The steps (if any) that have been taken to recover the said royalties, and, if no such steps have been taken, the reasons for allowing the said royalties to remain outstanding."

Apparently no statement as required by the above section has hitherto been submitted to Parliament, although an endeavour was made to obtain the necessary details for last year's report. Information has, however, been obtained from the respective Departments for the year 1926-27, but, owing to the many difficulties in the way of preparing a return which would comply with the Act and at the same time avoid unfairness to the individuals whose names are required to be published, the information obtained is shown in an abridged form. In some instances it was found that, although an amount was nominally overdue, reasonable grounds for non-payment existed, and in cases where royalty was payable in advance no serious complaint could be made against a person whose payment had not been met on the nominal due date. In such cases it was considered inadvisable to publish the names of those nominally in arrear in terms of the Act. In the following figures, therefore, are included all amounts which were shown on the Departments' books as owing and unpaid on the 31st March last, and no attempt has been made to discriminate between those persons who have reasonable grounds for non-payment and those who have not.

The growth of the Department may be noted from the fact that fourteen years ago 54 officers were deemed sufficient to cope with the work, whilst to-day the number required is 147. The classification of the staff is as follows: Deputy Controller and Auditor-General, 1 ; Audit Officer, London, and Assistant, 2 ; Controlling Officers, 4; Audit Inspectors, 30; Audit Inspectors' Assistants, 36 ; examiners, clerks, and typists, 46 ; cadets, 21 ; temporary clerks, 7. The efficiency of the staff is of a very high standard ; and, as will be seen from the large number of cadets, it is the policy of the Department to train its own staff of accountants, in order that when vacancies occur in the higher grades of the office there may be capable officers within the Department fully qualified to fill the vacancies as they occur. The work of the Audit officers in London has been also efficiently carried out. Additional duties have devolved upon these officers during the year in respect of the audit of the accounts of the Dairy-produce Control Board's London Agency. 6. F. C.
