PUBLIC ACCOUNTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH, 1928.

REPORT OF THE CONTROLLER AND AUDITOR-GENERAL.

1 have the honour to submit my report for the year ending 3lst March, 1928, 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 : " (b) 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 : " (d) 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." DISCREPANCIES IN THE ACCOUNTS. Section 89 (2) (a), Public Revenues Act, 1926. In accordance with the above section, I have to report that certain differences existed between the statement of accounts as submitted for audit and the Treasury books, owing to the operation of section 16 of the Finance Act, 1927 (No. 2). Section 16 requires that transfers between accounts made pursuant to section 40 of the Public Revenues Act, 1926, and payments and transfers by way of investment of any of the balances of the Public Account shall not be included as payments in the abstract of the revenue and expenditure of the Public Account, but shall be shown therein in such manner as the Minister of Finance may direct. When making the entries necessitated by these payments and transfers in the Treasury books the amounts paid or transferred from the account lending or investing the money are of necessity shown as payments from such accounts, but, as the Act now requires that they are not to be included as payments in the statement which is abstracted from such books and laid before Parliament, the differences referred to above have resulted. The entries appear in the lending accounts as balances in hand under the heading of "Investments," and not as "Payments," and in the borrowing accounts as " Receipts," consequently the balances of the Public Account, as shown, were found to

13.—1 [PT. ll].

be in excess of the amount of the sums actually available for issue by approximately £4,500,000. As it appeared to Audit that some explanation of the figures should appear in the accounts, a conference was arranged with the Treasury, and it was agreed to append an explanatory statement indicating the manner in which the balances shown in the statement are excessive as a result of the operation of section 16, Finance Act, 1927 (No. 2), above quoted. This explanatory statement will be found on page 73, 8.-l, Ft. I, and on page 5, 8.-l, Ft. 11. OASES IN WHICH THE PROVISIONS OF THE LAW HAVE NOT BEEN CARRIED OUT. Section 89 (2) (b), Public Revenues Act, 1926. Charges and Expenses on Redemption of War Loans. New Zealand Loans Act, 1908.—Certain charges and expenses necessarily arise in connection with the raising of fresh loans for the redemption of war loans. In terms of section 7 (2) of the New Zealand Loans Act, 1908, these expenses should be charged against the War Expenses Account, but as that account has been abolished the direction in that section cannot be carried out. As the charges in question are unavoidable and have to be met, the Audit Office has, since the discontinuance of the War Expenses Account, allowed the charge to be made against the Ordinary Revenue Account of the Consolidated Fund. A Crown Law Office opinion in January, 1927, indicated, however, that the charges and expenses in question should, from a legal point of view, be met out of reparationmoneys in the Loans Redemption Account. This was brought under the notice of the Treasury, but that Department has advised that, as a matter of policy, it is not desired to charge these expenses against the reparation-moneys, and the charge against the Ordinary Revenue Account has therefore been allowed to stand. Deteriorated Lands Account. Deteriorated Lands Act, 1925. —Section 12 (4) (d) of the Deteriorated Lands Act, 1925, provides authority to charge the administration expenses of the Deteriorated Lands Account against that account without further appropriation than the Act. In the year 1927-28, however, an item was taken on the estimates (Vote No. 33, Item No. 44) to enable such expenditure for that year to be paid out of Consolidated Fund, and, although the provision in section 12 (4) {d) of the Act was not repealed or amended, the Audit Office accepted this item as sufficient authority to charge the administration expenses of that year against the Consolidated Fund instead of against the Deteriorated Lands Account, and an amount of £9,715 lis. lOd. was so charged. In addition to this amount, however, the sum of £4,681 16s. 3d. was reimbursed to the Deteriorated Lands Account from the Consolidated Fund in respect of administration expenses paid from that account in previous years, and was also charged against the above item, making a total of £14,397 Bs. Id. charged in the year 1927-28. Section 2 of the Appropriation Act, 1927, which provided authority for the expenditure from Vote No. 33, indicated that the amounts voted were for the services of the year ended 31st March, 1928 only, and it appeared to the Audit Office that to treat the administration expenses actually paid in previous years as though they were services of the year 1927-28 would be a distinct breach of the law. After consulting the Crown Law Office, this view of the matter was brought under the notice of the Treasury, but the entry has not been amended. Education Endowments. Education Reserves Amendment Act, 1924. —During the year it was noticed that deductions from the revenues credited to the various Primary and Secondary Education Endowments Deposit Accounts to cover the expenses of administration of the endowments were not being made in strict accordance with the provisions of section 5 of the Education Reserves Amendment Act, 1924. The matter was therefore brought under the notice of the Treasury, with a suggestion that the method of effecting the deductions be brought into more strict conformity with the provisions of the Act, and it is understood that effect will be given to this suggestion during the current year. Reserves and other Lands Disposal Act. 1926. —In terms of an arrangement referred to in section 12 of this Act, a refund was due by the Auckland Provincial District Secondary Education Deposit Account to the Rotorua College and Grammar School Endowment in respect of certain revenues which had been inadvertently wrongly applied in previous years. The arrangement referred to was that the refund should be made at the rate of £160 2s. each quarter, but, apparently through an oversight, these quarterly payments were allowed to drop into arrear. On the attention of the Treasury being drawn to the position it was found that the matter had already come under notice, and it is understood that the procedure will be brought into conformity with the law at first opportunity. Governor-General's Warrant. New Zealand Constitution Act, 1852. —Section 54 of the New Zealand Constitution Act, 1852, requires that, save as therein otherwise provided, no part of His Majesty's revenue within New Zealand shall be issued except in pursuance of Warrants under the hand of the Governor-General, directed to the Minister of Finance. Section 53 of the Public Revenues Act, 1926, makes similar provision, but applies the procedure only to the Public Account, and, relying on this latter provision it has been customary to require a Governor-General's Warrant only in the case of issues from the Public Account, and not in the case of issues from Government accounts which are by law kept outside and separate from the Public Account. As it appeared to Audit that a Warrant was, in terms of the Constitution Act, required by law in the case of issues from these outside accounts, the matter was referred to the Solicitor-General for an

IV

B.—l [Pt. llj.

opinion, and it was held that in the case of certain of such accounts a Warrant under the hand of the Governor-General was necessary before moneys could lawfully be issued therefrom. The Treasury was accordingly advised of the position, and has arranged that in future a Warrant shall be obtained in all cases where necessary. Hutt Valley Housing Scheme. Hutt Valley Lands Settlement Act, 1925.—1n carrying into effect the Hutt Valley housing scheme inaugurated under the provisions of the Hutt Valley Lands Settlement Act, 1925, the Railway Department, under authority of section 10 of that Act, erected houses which entailed an expenditure of £78,764 up to the end of February, 1928, out of Working Railways Account. An agreement had been made between the Railway Department and the State Advances Department to the effect that interest at the rate of 5-j per cent, would be paid to the Working Railways Account by the State Advances Office from the date possession was taken by the purchaser until the capital sum was paid to the Working Railways Account. The interest charges to 31st March, 1928, amounted to approximately £2,000. As there was no statutory authority for the payment of interest charges out of the State Advances Account, the Audit Office, in order that the amount could be made available for the use of the Railway Department, passed the payment on the Government giving an undertaking to introduce validating legislation during this session of Parliament. Loans to the Western Samoan Administration. Finance Act, 1926. —Under section 4 of the Finance Act, 1926, as amended and extended by section 8 of the Finance Act, 1927 (No. 2), authority is given to advance moneys by way of loan to the Samoan Administration, it was understood by the Audit Office that such moneys were to be advanced only for the purpose of making capital expenditure on public works in Samoa, and the Orders in Council authorizing the loans, pursuant to section 33 of the Samoa Act, 1921, specifically limited the application of the loan-moneys to such purpose. The Department of External Affairs obtained an opinion from the Crown Law Office regarding the position of such loans, and it was held that the Acts quoted above did not have the effect of limiting the expenditure to the purpose stated, but that notwithstanding this fact the Orders in Council which did limit the expenditure of the loan-moneys to this purpose were not necessarily invalid, as by section 31 of the Samoa Act, 1921, power is given to fix additional limitations by regulation. It appeared clear that the policy of the Government, as indicated by the terms of the Orders in Council, was to lend money only for the purpose of providing public works in Samoa, and, as it was understood that in all probability a portion at least of the moneys advanced had been or would be applied to other purposes. Audit was unable to pass applications for further advances, except on the assurance that any legislation found necessary to validate the payment would be introduced during this session. Main Highways Account. Interest and other Charges on Main Highways Loans. —Section 15 (1) (d) of the Main Highways Act, 1922, provides that interest, sinking fund, and other charges on loans may lawfully be paid from the Revenue Fund of the Main Highways Account, provided the appropriation of Parliament has first been obtained. Amounts of £28,929 lis. lOd. and £250 were paid in the year 1927-28 under this section without the necessary appropriation. The attention of the Treasury has been called to the omission, and as an undertaking has been given to obtain such appropriation in future, and as there is no objection to the charge as a matter of account, Audit has allowed the charge to stand, although it has not been appropriated as required by law. Main Highways Revenue. —Section 24 of the Finance Act, 1927 (No. 2), requires that practically the whole of the receipts of the Main Highways Revenue Fund (other than moneys paid by local authorities in respect of the maintenance and repair of main highways) shall be ppid, in the first place, into the Consolidated Fund, and transferred therefrom to the Main Highways Revenue Fund. It was found that this provision was not being carried out, and in explanation the Treasury stated that the provision was intended only to apply to receipts of the nature of taxation, and suggested that under the circumstances the Audit Office should in the meantime agree to regard the section as referring only to that class of receipts on the understanding that amending legislation, to be made retrospective, would be brought forward this session. The Audit Office agreed not to insist on the strict observance of the law, on this understanding. Payments made from the New Zealand Public Account without Authority of Law. Public Revenues Act, 1926. —During the year 1926-27 and also in 1927-28 it was found that in some cases payments had been made on behalf of services outside the Public Account from the Foreign Imprest Account in London when there was no parliamentary appropriation authorizing such payments to be made from the Public Account. The matter was brought under the notice of the Secretary to the Treasury, who referred the question to the Crown Law Office for an opinion, and it was held that these payments from the Public Account were without authority of law. The Treasury has suggested that the law be amended to enable such payments to be made ; but it appears to the Audit Office that, as a matter of principle, the moneys of the Public Account should not be used to make payments either on behalf of private individuals or outside bodies, or on behalf of accounts which Parliament has seen fit to separate from the Public Account by special enactment, unless the moneys have been first paid into the Public Account by those on whose behalf payment is

V

B.—l fPr. ii].

to be made. Apart from the possibility of loss through non-recovery, a certain loss of interest to the Consolidated Fund is involved by reason of the amounts being advanced from the Public Account. Tt appears to the Audit Office that the position could be met satisfactorily by a more general adoption of the rule, which is now in many cases insisted on, that an amount shall be paid into the Public Account in advance sufficient to cover the proposed payment, and that no legislation is necessary. I have therefore suggested this method, which accords with the view of the Crown Law Office, to the Treasury for consideration. Meanwhile, as it is undesirable to delay the passing of the vouchers, I have agreed to the continuance of the system of passing such transactions through Deposits Account until the matter can be finally settled, although such procedure is not authorized by law. Purchase of Land for Railway Employees' Dwellings. Government Railways Amendment Act, 1927. —In connection with the Railway Department's workshops reorganization scheme the Railway Board, in order to meet the wishes of certain employees for whom houses were to be built, decided to allow them to select their own sections from private owners instead of purchasing railway sections. In order to save the members expense these sections were transferred from the owners direct to them, and the Department, which found the money for the purpose, protected its interests by lodging caveats against the titles. Section 15 of the Government Railways Amendment Act, 1927, however, empowered the Department to expend moneys on the erection of houses for its members only, and no statutory authority existed for the payment of money from the Working Railways Account for the purchase of land for such purpose. The Audit Office raised the question of parliamentary authority, but agreed to pass the vouchers for payment in respect of sections purchased on receiving an undertaking that validating legislation would be introduced during this session. State Advances Loans. State Advances Act, 1913.—Sections 18 and 19 of this Act provide that loan-moneys raised thereunder for the purposes of the Advances to Settlers, Advances to Workers, and Advances to Local Authorities Branches shall, "as and when raised," be paid into the State Advances Account. Section 20 of the same Act provides that the costs and expenses incurred in raising the aforesaid moneys shall from time to time be charged to and paid out of the State Advances Account without further appropriation than this Act. It has for a considerable time past been the practice to retain such moneys within the Public Account, and, after paying charges and expenses therefrom, to invest the balance or hold in cash in the Public Account until such time as they were required by the State Advances Account. The attention of the Treasury was drawn to the matter, and on a reference being made to the Crown Law Office for an opinion it was held that the procedure which had been followed was contrary to law, and that it was illegal to hold these moneys in the Public Account. In consideration, however, of the fact that the custom of holding such moneys in the Public Account was a longstanding one, I agreed to the Treasury request to allow the practice to continue pending the introduction of suitable amending legislation. State Coal-mines Sinking Fund. Coal-mines Act, 1925.—Section 185 of the Coal-mines Act, 1925, made provision for a sinking fund in respect of State coal-mines loans by an annual payment equal to 2 per cent, of the total loan capital outstanding. By an amendment contained in section 6of the Coal-mines Amendment Act. 1927, the law was altered in such a manner that the sinking fund became payable only on loans raised under the 1925 Act (though certain of the State Coal-mines loans were not raised thereunder), and was also made payable on the total amount at any time so raised, whether this amount was still outstanding or not. When the voucher for the payment of the sinking-fund contribution for the year 1927-28 was submitted to Audit it was found that no effect had been given to the amendment, and the attention of the Department was drawn to the matter. It was then explained that the amendment did not carry out the intention of the Department, which was that the sinking fund should be payable on the amount of all State coal-mines loans at any time raised, including the amount of any such loans paid off out of the sinking fund, but excluding loans otherwise paid off. The intention was, in fact, to apply the annuity method in a modified form to the redemption of such loans. In view of these circumstances the Audit Office did not insist on the present law being carried out, and passed the entries on the old basis on the understanding that a suitable amendment of the Act would be introduced during this session. Subsidies to Local Authorities for Relief of Unemployment. Imprest Supply Act, 1927 (No. 2). —Section 4 of this Act gives authority to the Minister of Finance to pay to local authorities such amounts as he thinks fit by way of subsidy on the amount expended by the local authority as wages in respect of works in relief of unemployment. The aggregate amount payable under the section was £150,000. It appears from the vouchers and departmental files submitted to Audit that in some cases subsidies were paid to local authorities before the authority of the Minister of Finance to grant such subsidies had been obtained, and therefore the payment of such subsidies was, strictly speaking, not made in accordance with the requirements of the law. In all cases which have come under the notice of the Audit Office the authority of the Minister of Finance has subsequently been obtained, but an extremelv embarrasitig position would be brought about if the Minister desired to withhold his approval in such cases.

VI

B.—l [PT. 111.

It also appears that in some cases the subsidy was not computed on the amount of wages only, as apparently contemplated by the Act. Travelling-expenses or Members of Commission. Public Revenues Act, 1926.—-It is provided by section 141 of the Public Kevenues Act, 1926, that there shall be paid to any person being a member of any Commission issued by the Governor-General, or by the Governor-General in Council, an allowance in respect of travelling-expenses not exceeding £1 a day in addition to money paid for coach, railway, steamship, or other passenger fare. An arrangement was, however, made by Government for payment to the members of the Samoan Commission of a sum in excess of £1 a day in respect of travelling-expenses, and the Audit Office agreed to pass the payment on an undertaking being given that validating legislation would be introduced during this session.

DETAILED AUDIT OF ACCOUNTS DISPENSED WITH. 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." There are no instances in which the Hon. the Minister of Finance has during the year given his consent to a detailed audit being dispensed with. COMMENTS BY THE CONTROLLER AND AUDITOR-GENERAL. Section 89 (2) (h), Public Revenues Act, 1926. Departmental Accounts and Balance-sheets. All Departments have submitted Income and Expenditure or Revenue Accounts and Balancesheets during the year, which have been examined by the Audit Office. It is pleasing to be able to report that these accounts have been prepared and submitted for audit much more expeditiously than in, former years. Generally speaking, the improvement in the method of preparation by Departments previously reported has been maintained, and the accounts should now be of considerable use for comparative purposes. As reported on a previous occasion, it would prove of considerable assistance in the preparation of the balance-sheets if Departments were to show the capital and revenue items of expenditure separately in the estimates. Last session amending legislation was passed which provided for separation of the Post and Telegraph revenue from Consolidated Fund. The accounting system is being revised to suit the new conditions, and suitable audit arrangements are being made to meet the altered circumstances. I notice from an examination of the departmental Balance-sheets published in England that the practice of carrying forward the result of each year's trading is followed when preparing the accounts and Balance-sheets of the trading or commercial services of the Government. This course is not followed in the accounts of some of the trading ventures in New Zealand, and the accumulated results of the trading are not reflected in the Balance-sheets. This refers especially to trading ventures which are more or less subsidiary services of the Department. In such cases where losses have been made the amount of loss is transferred to the Treasury Adjustment Account and is not brought into the next year's accounts. I am of opinion that the English method should in all cases be adopted in New Zealand. The attention of the Treasury has been called to the matter. It may be said that, with few exceptions, the examination of departmental accounts has disclosed that the records are satisfactorily kept, and that proper attention has been given to the collection of revenue. Minor defects in the accounts, including overpayments and short credits of small amount, have been adjusted when brought to the notice of the Departments by Audit. Reports have from time to time been furnished to the Hon. 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. Reports have also been sent to the Hon. the Minister of Finance in terms of section 14 of the Public Revenues Act in respect of matters relating to the collection, receipt, issue, and payment of public moneys or stores. Under this section the Hon. the Minister has been advised of all cases of defalcation or irregularity which have been reported. Particulars of these cases appear in a statement in this report under the heading of " Section 89 (2) (c), Public Revenues Act, 1926." Of the seventy cases of defalcation or irregularity referred to in the statement, State employees were offenders in forty instances, and in the thirty remaining cases the offences were committed by persons not connected with the Service. Stores Audit. During the period under review 198 Store Accounts of the various Departments have been examined and reported on, and in addition the ledgers and accounts connected with the Naval Service have also been dealt with. The results indicate that there has been considerable improvement in the care, custody, and accounting for stores, although a good deal remains to be done in the supervision of the ultimate disposal of Government property in some branches of the Service. The following Departments have not yet submitted a set of revised Stores Rules : Agriculture, Prisons, and Railway Departments. From an audit point of view it is most desirable that the preparation of these Rules should be expedited. Local Authorities. Notwithstanding that the work of auditing the accounts of local authorities continues to increase proportionately to the growth of local-body activities, the arrears of work have been further considerably reduced, and at the same time the current audits have been kept well in hand. I again desire to draw attention to the fact that a great deal of assistance in keeping the audit work up to date could be rendered in many instances to the Audit inspecting staff if the local-body clerks concerned were to prepare their accounts more expeditiously and more accurately.

County Councillors' Travelling-expenses.—The regulations respecting rates of travelling-allowances to members of County Councils which were issued during the past year in accordance with section 6 of the Counties Amendment Act, 1927, have removed the cause of a considerable amount of correspondence between Councils and the Audit Office. The provision that County Councils may, with the prior approval of Audit Office, pay fixed sums in lieu of but not exceeding the rates fixed by regulation has been freely availed of by Councils. Defalcations. —The defalcations during the year on the part of local-body officials totalled thirteen in number, and show an increase as compared with the previous year, but in the majority of cases the amounts involved were not large. Criminal action was taken in respect of these defalcations in every instance excepting one where the amount misappropriated was trifling. In addition to the defalcations above mentioned there were seven cases reported of shortages in cash not involving misappropriation of funds. Breaches of Statute.—During the past year Audit has been called upon to take action in respect of numerous breaches of statute, as detailed below (Schedule A), by local-body members and officers. Where a satisfactory explanation has not been forthcoming an adjustment in the accounts has been required by Audit. In some cases, however, where special circumstances obtained, the adjustment has been waived on the understanding that legislation would be sought for the purpose of validating the irregularity. A list of these special cases is also appended (Schedule B). Schedule A.

Schedule B.

Schedule of breaches of law passed subject to validation of irregularities :— Auckland Electric-power Board —Mortgage transaction. Huntly Town Board—Erection of shops. Lawrence Borough —Excess unauthorized. Lower Hutt Borough—Maintenance cemetery. Masterton Trust Lands Trust—Overdraft. Mount Eden Borough—Erection kiosk on Domain. Nelson City—Breach of section 3 (2), Local Bodies' Loans Act. Nelson City—Loan raised in excess of authority. Opotiki County —Preliminary expenses wrongly paid out of loan. Orton Drainage Board—Chairman's honorarium. Otorohanga County—Debentures sold at a discount. Southland High School—Breaking-up ceremonies. Waitomo County—Hire purchase of plant—preliminary expenses wrongly paid out of loan. Fire Boards —Conference expenses. Rabbit Boards—Chairmen's honoraria. Expenditure not covered by Annuai. Appropriation. In connection with the control of expenditure by Parliament it appears necessary to draw attention to the large proportion of the yearly expenditure of the various accounts which is now exempt from annual appropriation, a great proportion of which is not even included in the estimates placed before Parliament. In England that part of the expenditure which is authorized by permanent or continuing statutes, and is exempt from annual appropriation, includes only the charges of the national debt, payments to local taxation accounts, the King's Civil List, and a number of special salaries, annuities, and pensions, including part of the expenses of the Courts of Justice. (See " The System of National Finance," by E. Hilton Young.) Durell, in his book, " Parliamentary Grants," states that, as such charges are not automatically brought under the review of Parliament, there is a disinclination to make such permanent charges in any cases which could be provided for without detriment by annual vote. He also mentions that such charges have to be included each year in the Budget statement, though no vote is required. These restrictions on the use of permanent appropriations appear to have been considerably relaxed in New Zealand, and I cannot find that there is any definite principle regulating the class of expenditure which should be exempted from annual appropriation. A comparison of the expenditure covered by annual appropriation with that not so covered for the year ended on 31st March, 1928, discloses the fact that the amount of expenditure for the above year not subject to annual appropriation exceeded £31,000,000 out of a gross total of £57,000,000, while of this amount over £11,000,000 was expended without any amount having been submitted to Parliament by Departments in their estimates. These figures are, of course, subject to adjustment, but are sufficient to show (1) that a very large proportion of the annual expenditure is governed by permanent authority ; (2) that a large porportion of such expenditure is not included in the permanent charges of the annual estimates ; (3) that the principle of parliamentary control of expenditure by means of the annual appropriations is being seriously weakened. In exemplification of what I have said above, I might point out that there appears to be no good reason why such services as the expenditure on school buildings or on railways improvements, which are purely services of an exactly similar nature to other services which are covered by annual votes under the Public Works Fund, should not be subject to the control of annual appropriations ; nor is there any apparent reason why the expenditure on works such as the Hauraki Plains settlement, Rangitaiki land drainage, and swamp-land drainage should be exempt from such control, or why such expenditure should be made without any amount having been placed before Parliament in the estimates for the year. Repayment op the Public Debt Act, 1925. Under the operation of the Repayment of the Public Debt Act, 1925, public-debt securities of a nominal value of £2,831,563 13s. 3d. had at the 31st March, 1928, been redeemed and cancelled at a cost of £2,808,056 3s. Bd. 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 £39,592 os. 4d. will be effected as a result of the redemptions to the 31st March, 1928

By a reference to my report for last year (8.-l, Pt. 11, page xii) it will be seen that there has been an increase of £57,791 Os. Id. in the amount of securities redeemed, and of £12,548 lis. Id. in the annual saving in interest. This exemplifies the cumulative effect of the scheme both as regards capital reductions and saving of interest.

During the year the Advances to Settlers Branch contributed £27,790 lis. 9d. in respect of a debt of £19,342,780 3s. 5d., but no contributions to sinking fund were made by the Advances to Workers or Advances to Local Authorities Branches. Rural Advances Loans. Some difficulty has been experienced in deciding, for the purposes of Audit, the exact status of loans raised under the Rural Advances Act, 1926. Subsection (1) of section 8 of the Act states that the loans shall not be secured on the public revenues of New Zealand, while subsection (2) of the same section provides that the principal and interest shall be payable, in the first place, from the Consolidated Fund, and shall be recoverable from the Rural Advances Branch of the State Advances Account. In view of the latter provision and of the fact that the loans were actually raised by a Government Department, it was decided that they must for the purposes of Audit be viewed as Government loans, and they have accordingly been audited in the same manner as ordinary Government loans raised by the Treasury and charged on the public revenues. The question naturally arises as to whether some provision should not be made for the repayment of these loans as none of the existing sinking-fund schemes are being made applicable to these loans. At present the loans are not included as part of the public debt nor of the State Advances debt as shown in the Debt Statement (see p. 27, 8.-l, Pt. III). A separate statement is appended to the Statement of the Public Debt giving particulars of these loans (p. 59, 8.-l, Pt. III). It was found that, as the Rural Advances Act is not an authorizing Act within the meaning of the New Zealand Loans Act, 1908, no authority of law existed for the payment of the charges and expenses of raising the loans. It was determined, therefore, to charge such expenses against the State Advances Account as " unauthorized expenditure " until such time as the requisite statutory authority could be obtained. Certain of the expenses, however, amounting to £600, paid out of the New Zealand Public Account, London, were not covered by the authority to charge to " Unauthorized," and as a result this expenditure has not yet been brought to charge in the Public Account. The amount was refunded to the Public Account by the State Advances Office before the 31st March, and is held in " Deposits, Miscellaneous," pending final settlement of the matter.

STATEMENT OF ROYALTIES PAYABLE TO THE CROWN AND UNPAID AT 31st MARCH, 1928. Section 91 (2), Public Revenues Act, 1926. 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." In last year's report it was mentioned that there were many difficulties in the way of preparing a return which would comply with the Act and at the same time avoid unfairness to individuals whose names are required by law to be published. Following the same course as last year, the names of those in arrear are not published, but in the figures hereunder are included all amounts which were shown on the Department's books as owing and unpaid on the 31st March last. No attempt has been made to distinguish between the persons who have reasonable grounds for non-payment and those who have not. Department. Amount unpaid. Forestry — £ s. d.

Staff. A slight increase in the number of the officers engaged on inspection and examination has taken place during the year, the total number being now 154. I again desire to record my appreciation of the zealous manner in which the staff has during the past year performed the varied and responsible duties which required to be carried out in order to comply with the provisions of the Public Revenues Act. During the year the Audit officers have been called upon to exercise special efforts in order that the arrears of work occasioned by the previous shortage of staff might be overtaken as speedily as possible. lam pleased to be able to say that the result has been very satisfactory, and, although it cannot be said that in all the many branches of Audit duties the arrears of work have been entirely brought up to date, I can safely say that if the same zeal and attention to duty is shown in the future as has been shown in the past the work should be practically brought up to date during the current year.
