PUBLIC ACCOUNTS. FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH, 1929.

REPORT Of THE CONTROLLER AND AUDITOR-GENERAL.

I have the honour to submit my report for the year ended 31st March, 1929, 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 exist between the statement of accounts as submitted for audit and the Treasury books, owing to the method of treating investments pursuant to section 16 of the Finance Act, 1927 (No. 2). The reason for the discrepancies was explained on the first page of my report for last year, and to remedy the defect as far as possible the Treasury agreed to the insertion of an explanatory statement as shown on page 73, 8.-l, Part 1,1928-29. From this statement it will be seen that the balances of the Public Account are overstated in the summary of balances on page 72 by £4,187,102 lis. Bd., owing to the fact that although the balance shown in any one of the accounts mentioned is offset by a liability in one of the other accounts, such liability is not shown in the summary. Further, of the total balance of £17,235,651 7s. shown in the summary, the amount of £10,489,567 Bs. 6d. represents moneys paid out of the Public Account for investment outside the Public Account, and this, together with the above £4,187,102 lis. Bd., makes a total of £14,676,670 os. 2d., which was not actually available for expenditure on the 31st March, 1929, although included in the summary. Experience of the system now followed, gained since writing my last year's report, has strengthened me in the opinion that this method of treating investments tends to make the accounts more involved than is necessary and renders them misleading to an extent which the explanatory statement referred to does not entirely eliminate.

CASES IN WHICH THE PROVISIONS OF THE LAW HAVE NOT BEEN CARRIED OUT. Section 89 (2) (b), Public Revenues Act, 1926. Repayment of the Public Debt Act, 1925. —Section 8 (1) (b) of the Repayment of the Public Debt Act, 1925, as amended by section 21 of the Finance Act, 1927 (No. 2), declares certain moneys transferred by way of loan from the Consolidated Fund to the Discharged Soldiers Settlement Account, " less any amounts lawfully written off (whether before or after the commencement of this Act) by virtue of the operation of the Discharged Soldiers Settlement Acts," to be capital moneys of the Public Debt Redemption Fund. The amount so transferred by way of loan was £13,500,000 in all, and the Treasury has deducted therefrom £1,600,000 as from the 31st March, 1928, and £1,050,000 as from the 31st March, 1929, being £2,650,000 in all, as representing the amounts lawfully written off. This deduction is not in accordance with the provisions quoted above, as it represents a portion only of the losses lawfully written off under the Discharged Soldiers Settlement Acts, and such losses were in some cases lawfully written off under the Acts named at an earlier date than the dates at which the deductions were actually made. The Treasury is desirous that the deductions of £2,650,000 should stand, as corresponding amounts were written off the capital liability in the Discharged Soldiers Settlement Account, and has accordingly undertaken to obtain retrospective legislation covering what has been done. Public Revenues Act, 1926.—Section 55 of the Public Revenues Act, 1926, provides the machinery for the issue of moneys out of the Public Account—namely, by a requisition prepared by the PaymasterGeneral covering the vouchers proposed to be paid, together with a bank order " directing the bank to honour the cheques of the Paymaster-General on the Public Account for the several amounts and at the several branches of the bank specified in the order, not exceeding in the whole the sum named in the requisition." No such bank-order may be issued until countersigned by the Controller and AuditorGeneral, who is by subsection (3) required to satisfy himself that there is sufficient balance under authority of the Governor-General's Warrant, and in the relative fund or account and vote, before countersigning the requisition and bank-order. By subsection (4) the bank-order, when so countersigned by the Controller and Auditor-General, shall be sufficient authority to the bank to pay the cheques of the Paymaster-General for the several amounts specified in the order. Instead of the Paymaster-General's cheques being drawn on the Public Account, as required by the Act, they are drawn on a Suspense Account known as the " Public Account Disbursement Account" into which the totals of the various bank-orders are transferred by the bank. There is no statutory authority for such account, which has been in use for many years, and it would seem advisable, when any further amendments of the Public Revenues Act are contemplated, to provide authority for the continuance of the Public Account Disbursement Account if it is not desired to revert to the exact procedure now set forth in the Act, at the same time providing the necessary safeguards to ensure that cheques are issued and paid only for such amounts as have been included in bank orders countersigned by the Audit Office. Public Revenues Act, 1926. —Section 85 : This section provides for the preparation and audit of an Abstract of the Revenue and Expenditure of the Public Account after the end of each quarter, and also after the end of each financial year. Subsection (2) enacts that every such abstract shall be certified by the Audit Office and returned to the Treasury within fourteen days after the receipt thereof from the Treasury, and that the Treasury shall forthwith publish the same in the Gazette, and lay the same before Parliament if sitting, or if not sitting, then within ten days after the commencement of the next ensuing session thereof. The abstract for the financial year has been in each case laid before Parliament pursuant to this section, but it has not been customary to lay before Parliament the abstracts for each quarterly period as directed by the section, though such quarterly abstracts have been gazetted. It seems desirable that either the express directions of the statute should be carried out, or the statute amended when opportunity offers so as to make it unnecessary to lay before Parliament the quarterly abstracts. Public Revenues Act, 1926.—Section 98 : In examining the Appropriation Account for the year it was found that the vote for Public Service Superannuation Fund Office (Vote No. 83) had been overexpended by the amount of £246 13s. Bd. As the Public Service Superannuation Fund Office does not come within the provisions of Part X of the Public Revenues Act, 1926, the authority in section 98 of the Public Revenues Act to make issues in excess of the vote as a charge against the Unauthorized Expenditure Account did not apply, and there seemed to be no lawful authority covering the overexpenditure which had occurred. The attention of the Treasury was drawn to the position, and it has been arranged that the Public Service Superannuation Fund Office will be brought within the provisions of Part X of the Public Revenues Act by means of an Order in Council pursuant to section 92, which will provide the necessary authority for the future. Land Lavjs Amendment Act, 1927.—Section 17 (5) of the Land Laws Amendment Act, 1927, provides that certain charges on lands are abolished. These charges were made against the lands for the repayment of amounts expended from loan-moneys on opening up such lands, pursuant to section 47 of the Land for Settlements Act, 1925, and the corresponding provisions of former Acts. The procedure apparently being followed is not to abolish such charges, but to divert the amounts arising from such charges, so that they will now be treated as ordinary receipts from the land and credited to the accounts owning the land. This procedure does not appear to be consistent with the wording of the Act, which requires that the charges shall be abolished. A further result of the procedure followed is that the receipts arising from certain similar charges under sections 75 and 76 of the Local Bodies' Loans Act, 1908, which up to the 31st March, 1928, were credited to the Ordinary Revenue Account under the heading " Ordinary Revenue—Local Bodies' Loans Act, 1908, Section 76," do not now appear in the accounts. A portion of these receipts is now credited to the Ordinary Revenue Account as territorial revenue, but a portion has apparently been diverted to other accounts,

B.—l [Pt. ll].

V

such as the Primary and Secondary Education Endowment Deposit Accounts and Endowment Account. It does not appear that such diversion is according to law, nor does it appear that these accounts have any equitable right to receive such moneys, which represent the repayment of expenditure made from other accounts. The matter is under discussion with the Treasury. Post and Telegraph Act, 1928. —Section 96, subsection (2), of the Post and Telegraph Act, 1928 (and the corresponding section 7 (2) of the Post and Telegraph Amendment Act, 1927), provides that " All moneys appropriated from the Public Works Fund for the purposes of telegraph-extension works shall as and when required be paid into the Post Office Account, and may be paid out of that account, without further appropriation than this Act, for the several purposes for which they were so appropriated from the Public Works Fund." The intention of this subsection appears to be that moneys required for the purpose of telegraph-extension works are to be paid to the Post Office Account and expended from that account, instead of being issued from the Public Works Fund in direct payment for such works. If this be the correct interpretation of the subsection it is not being carried into eflect, but moneys required for payment of telegraph-extension works are being applied direct from the Public Works Fund, in the same manner as before the section in question was enacted. Section 204 of the Post and Telegraph Act, 1928, makes certain provisions with reference to the payment of royalties on patents covering wireless apparatus used in connection with broadcasting, and subsection (4) (and the corresponding section 7 (4) of the Post and Telegraph Amendment Act, 1924) states that any moneys payable to a patentee in respect of any invention to which this section relates may be paid out of the Consolidated Fund without further appropriation than this section. During the year certain payments coming within the foregoing provisions of law became due, and it was desired by the Government to make such payments from the Post Office Account instead of from the Consolidated Fund as provided by the Act. As this arrangement, though contrary to the terms of the Act, seemed a proper one from an accounting point of view, as the Post Office revenue and expenditure are now entirely separated from the Consolidated Fund, the Audit Office passed the expenditure against the Post Office Account on the undertaking of the Minister of Finance that a suitable amendment of the law would be introduced during the present session. Government Railways Act, 1926.—Section 38 (1) (a) of the Government Railways Act, 1926, provides for the payment of interest from the Working Railways Account into the Consolidated Fund on the total amount of capital moneys expended in respect of the railways. Subsections (4) and (5) of this section authorize the amount of such capital moneys to be determined by Order in Council, and section 40 (1) authorizes the rate of such interest to be determined by Order in Council. By clause 3 of an Order in Council gazetted on the 4th March, 1926, the rate of interest to be paid by the Working Railways Account on railway capital moneys expended out of the Railways Improvement Authorization Accounts, 1904 and 1914, was fixed as being the actual rate payable by the 'Government on such moneys. On all other capital moneys the rate was fixed at 4J per cent, per annum. The average rate actually payable by the Government on railways-improvement loans as at the inception of the Working Railways Account was ascertained to be £5 3s. 9d. per cent, per annum. This rate was correctly charged for the year 1925-26, but, apparently through an oversight, the same rate has been charged up to the 31st March, 1929, though the actual rate payable by the Government on these loans has been materially reduced during this period. As a result the Working Railways Account has been considerably overcharged with interest on this portion of the railway capital expenditure during the three years ended on the 31st March, 1929. By clause 4 (b) (iii) and (iv) of the same Order in Council there was to be included in the total amount of capital moneys expended in respect of the railways the charges and expenses of raising by way of loan the capital moneys expended on railways, and also the Public Works administration and supervision charges in respect of the construction of railways, in so far as such charges and expenses of raising loans and administration and supervision charges were incurred subsequent to the Ist April, 1925 (the date of inception of the Working Railways Account). A tentative allocation of such charges has been made during the year 1928-29, but the basis on which the allocation is to be made has not yet been finally agreed upon. Both the foregoing matters are now receiving the attention of the Treasury, and any adjustment found to be necessary will no doubt be made during the present financial year. Government Railways Amendment Act, 1928. —Section 5 of the Government Railways Amendment Act, 1928, provides authority for payment, without further appropriation than this section, of a subsidy not exceeding £8,000 per annum, in aid of any sick-benefit fund established by certain railway employees. An item for this subsidy was placed on the vote for Working Railways, and the expenditure was charged to the vote, and not to the permanent appropriation provided in the Act. As a result such subsidy does not show on the expenditure side of the Working Railways Account (8.-l, Part I, page 69), although the amount, £2,101 6s. 3d., is actually included in such expenditure, being part of the amount of £7,639,245 Bs. Bd. shown under the vote. It appears to the Audit Office that when a permanent appropriation is provided it is not a correct procedure to take an appropriation for the same service under the annual vote, thus providing two separate appropriations for the same service and making it difficult to decide to which appropriation the expenditure should be charged. The position was accordingly placed before the Railway Department, and it was agreed that in future years the payment should be charged against the permanent appropriation, and that it would not be necessary to take a special item. Under the circumstances Audit agreed that the special item should remain in the appropriations for the current year. The same section makes provision for the collection of contributions from the members, and for the payment of such contributions into the Working Railways Account. As a matter of accounting it would seem preferable in such cases to provide that the moneys, which are received by the Government in a fiduciary capacity only, and are therefore not liable to be appropriated to the Public

B.—l [Pt. ll].

Service of New Zealand, should, if paid into the Public Account, be kept in a separate account such as a Deposit Account, and thus be kept separate from true public moneys. This is the usual procedure in such cases. Repayment of the Public Debt Act, 1925. —Section 7 of the Repayment of the Public Debt Act, 1925, requires that the Controller and Auditor-General shall, within ninety days after the end of each financial year, furnish a certificate showing the total amount of the public debt (within the meaning of that Act) outstanding at the end of that financial year. In my certificate for the year ended 31st March, 1928, owing to a doubt as to the legal position regarding loans amounting to £543,300 raised under the Rural Advances Act, 1926, and outstanding at that date, these loans were omitted as not coming within the Act. An opinion was afterwards obtained from the Solicitor-General which indicated that such loans come within the provisions of the Act. For the year 1928-29 the payment under section 11 (a) of the Act from the Ordinary Revenue Account to the Public Debt Repayment Account, which was based on the amount stated in my certificate, therefore fell short of the amount which should have been paid by £2,716 10s. The Chairman of the Public Debt Commission has now advised that legislation will be introduced to exempt these loans from the operation of the Act. Railway Department.—Heavy-traffic License Fees. Vouchers submitted by the Railway Department supporting the payment of fees for heavy-traffic licenses issued in connection with its omnibus services were queried by Audit, as it appeared that the Crown was not legally liable for fees of this description. The Railway Department represented that the late Railway Board had decided, as a matter of policy, to pay the same fees in respect of the Department's omnibus services that would be payable by an individual engaged in a similar enterprise. I accordingly agreed to pass the vouchers conditionally on the expenditure being charged to " Unauthorized," and an undertaking being given that validating legislation would be obtained. Appointment of Deputy Public Service Commissioner. Public Service Act, 1912. —It is provided by section 7 (4) of the Public Service Act, 1912, that the Governor-General in Council may, in case of the illness, suspension, or absence of the Public Service Commissioner, appoint a Deputy to act for such Commissioner. A Deputy Commissioner was so appointed to act during the absence from New Zealand of the Public Service Commissioner, but it was ascertained that there was no statutory provision for the payment of salary to a Deputy Commissioner. The Audit Office, however, agreed to pass payment of salary at the rate provided under section 23 of the Finance Act, 1919, on an undertaking being given that legislation would be introduced validating the payment, and providing for the protection of the pension-rights of the deputy. Payments to Members of Parliament attending Recess Committee on Standing Orders. Civil List Act, 1920. —Section 17 of the Civil List Act, 1920, provides for the payment of a sum of £500 per annum to members of the House of Representatives for attendance in the discharge of parliamentary duties, and section 19 provides for the payment of expenses of locomotion in travelling to and returning from a meeting of the General Assembly. As there was no statutory provision for members to receive sums in addition to the foregoing, the Audit Office agreed to pass vouchers for payment of expenses to certain members of the above Committee in respect of the cost of attendance at meetings on an assurance being given by the Treasury that a validating clause would be provided therefor. Payment of Salary to School-teachers without Statutory Authority. Pending the arrival of a lecturer from England, the Education Department arranged for the retiring lecturer to continue to hold the position temporarily. His successor commenced duty on the Ist November, 1928. In view of the retiring lecturer having remained for a year after the termination of his first engagement to suit the convenience of the Education Board, the Department granted him holiday pay for the month of November. The Audit Office pointed out that the payment of salary for November was without statutory authority, and the Minister of the Department thereupon agreed to provide validating legislation for the unauthorized payment. An Inspector of Schools whose health had been affected by service in Samoa was found to be unable to stand the strain as an Inspector, and was therefore transferred to a position as headmaster of a school carrying a lesser salary than that of an Inspector of Schools. In view of the circumstances the Minister approved of his salary being maintained. The Audit Office, however, found it necessary to draw the attention of the Department to the fact that there was no statutory authority enabling payment to be made in excess of the grading for the position of headmaster, and the Minister of the Department thereupon undertook to have validating legislation provided for the unauthorized payment. Refund of Motor-spirits Tax. Motor-spirits Taxation Act, 1927.—Section 8 of the Motor-spirits Taxation Act, 1927, as amended by section 3 (1) of the Motor-spirits Taxation Amendment Act, 1928, requires that application for refund of Customs duties on motor-spirits used shall be made in the month following the close of the quarterly period in respect of which it is made. Owing to an omission to lodge with the Registrar of Motorvehicles within the stipulated period the necessary applications for refund of duty for the December quarter the Public Works Department was unable to obtain refunds amounting to £479 7s. lOd. As the effect was that the Main Highways Account benefited at the expense of the Public Works Fund, the Audit Office drew the attention of the Treasury to the matter, with the result that the Minister of Finance approved of legislation being introduced authorizing the transfer of the amount from the Main Highways Revenue Fund to the Public Works Fund.

Particulars of cases in which proceedings have been taken in pursuance of the Public Revenues Act, or regulations thereunder, are included in the statement under paragraph 89 (2) (c). SURCHARGES. Section 89 (2) (f), Public Revenues Act, 1926. There are no surcharges imposed by the Controller and Auditor-General remaining outstanding. No surcharges have been disallowed during the year by the Minister on appeal. 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 AuditorGeneral 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 sliail 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 Minister of Finance has, in view of the thorough system of internal check carried out by the Education Department, in terms of the above section consented to a detailed audit of the expenditure on teachers' salaries being dispensed with, on the understanding that adequate test audits are made each year by the Audit Office. COMMENTS BY THE CONTROLLER AND AUDITOR-GENERAL. Section 89 (2) (h), Public Revenues Act, 1926. Departmental Accounts. In terms of section 68 (2) of the Public Revenues Act, reports have from time to time been furnished to the Right Hon. the Minister of Finance 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.

In terms of section 14 of the Public Revenues Act reports have also been sent to the Right Hon. the Minister of Finance in respect of matters relating to the collection, receipt, issue, and payment of public moneys or stores. The Right Hon. the Minister has, under this section, 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 " Section 89 (2) (c), Public Revenues Act, 1926." Of the cases of defalcation or irregularity mentioned in the statement, persons not employed by the State were the offenders in fifty-four instances, whilst in the remaining thirty-five cases State employees were the delinquents. A perusal of the statement will show that in numerous instances the deficiencies were of insignificant amount and that recoveries were effected to the fullest extent possible. Expenditure Vouchers. The vouchers submitted for examination during the year show that considerable care has been exercised in the accounting branches of Departments, and that officers dealing with the expenditure possess a good working knowledge of the requirements of the Public Revenues Act and regulations. This has been especially noticeable during the past year, and, besides affording evidence of efficiency in the administration of public expenditure, it assists materially in simplifying the work of the Audit Office. Writing off Irrecoverable Debts due to the Crown. An unusual position occurred with regard to certain land which had been declared discharged soldiers' settlement land and had been sold to discharged soldiers. There were three instances where the land reverted to the Crown owing to the default of these ex-soldiers. The Crown then transferred the land to civilian settlers. Subsequently the Revaluation Board reduced the value of the land, and for the purpose of securing this reduction to the civilian settlers then in occupation the land was transferred back to the Crown and the civilian settlers were then reinstated at a reduced valuation. The Department's attention was called to the absence of authority for this procedure. After due inquiry, however, the Audit Office was satisfied that in each case the action taken by the Department was the most economical and in the best interest of all concerned, and the applications to write off the losses of £941 15s. 4d., £507 ss. Bd., and £500 respectively were concurred in by Audit. The Department has been requested to seek validating authority during the present session of Parliament. There will probably be other similar cases in the future. Stores Audit. The audit of Government stores differs considerably from the audit of revenue and expenditure, and whilst it is not less important it is more complicated, and the difficulty of detecting irregularities and shortages in connection with the use and disposal of stores is much greater than in the case of shortages of cash. In one Department it is the practice to purchase a large proportion of its stores and material for what is termed " immediate use." In such cases the stores after purchase are not brought on ledger charge, and it is impossible for Audit to exercise any check over their use and final disposal. During the period under review 207 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. Speaking generally, the results indicate that steady improvement is being made in the care, custody, and accounting for Government property. The Agriculture and Railway Departments have not yet submitted a set of revised Stores Rules, and it would appear that those of the Public Works Department require further revision. I would again emphasize the fact that from an Audit point of view it is most desirable that the preparation of these rules should be expedited. I regret that owing to this and other causes it has been possible to exercise very little check over the receipt and disposal of the stores of some of the most important Departments of the Service. In the case of those Departments which have reorganized their stores systems, however, the Audit inspection has disclosed a very great improvement in the care and control of Government property. Local Authorities' Accounts. The number of accounts comprised in this heading now totals 1,892, all of which are required by law to be audited by the Audit Office. The classes of account extend over a wide field, from a simple record of receipts and payments to the complex accounts of a city with its varied activities and trading undertakings. The extent to which trading undertakings are controlled by local bodies is shown in the following figures: Electricity-supply, 94; gas-supply, 28 ; tramways or motor-bus transport, 12 ; steamer ferries, 1 ; milk-supply, 1 ; local railways, 1. The work of the audit of local authorities' accounts has been carried on continuously throughout the year, and extra assistance has been given to the inspecting staff to cope with the normal increase of work. At the request of the Harbour Boards' Association for a more frequent audit of Harbour Board accounts, arrangements have been made whereby a periodical examination of the accounts of the principal Boards will be carried out at intervals during the year, with the object, if possible, of completing the audit immediately after the balance-sheet is prepared at the close of the financial year. Form of Accounts.—lmprovement continues to be made in the form in which the trading accounts of local authorities are being prepared, and it is the desire of the Audit Department that these accounts, in their preparation, should conform to established commercial principles. With, the enacting of the Municipal Corporations Amendment Act during last session of Parliament practically all local bodies controlling trading undertakings are now required to make proper

the annual revenues for depreciation in respect of the depreciable assets of the undertaking, and statutory provision is also made for the setting-aside of reserves. In addition, certain non-trading local authorities—viz., Hospital Boards, Harbour Boards, Education Authorities, and Fire Boards —are required to prepare an income and expenditure statement and balance-sheet, as well as the usual statutory statement of receipts and payments. Machinery and Plant Renewal Funds. —There is a growing tendency on the part of local authorities, as evidenced in their annual accounts, to set up renewal funds in respect of machinery and plant purchased by them. As the law now stands there is no authority for local bodies to create funds of this nature where the machinery or plant is not an asset of an authorized trading undertaking. An amendment of the law in the direction of giving local authorities power to establish renewal funds for replacement of roading plant, &c„ is desirable. Stores Systems.—Although much has been accomplished in improving the manner of keeping the accounts of local authorities, a matter which calls for the attention of many local bodies is an improvement in the manner of recording and controlling the receipt, issue, and use of stores. Audit Inspectors have frequently reported on the absence or inefficiency of stores records in the accounts of many local authorities. In order to efficiently control the expenditure and eliminate possible waste and extravagance on the part of local authorities it is essential that accurate stores records should be kept where materials are purchased for either subsequent conversion or use, and the keeping of such records by responsible officials should be made compulsory. Disqualifications. —In the past two years the members of the principal local bodies have, by statute, been given wider powers of trading with the local authority of which they are members, and it is interesting to note that, notwithstanding these wider powers, the number of members who have automatically forfeited their seats during the year through infringing the statute by trading with the local authority to an extent in excess of the authorized limits has not decreased. Fifteen members of local bodies forfeited their seats in this manner during the year. It is only fair to such members, however, to say that in the majority of cases they acted in ignorance of the iaw. Defalcations. —Eleven cases of misappropriation of the funds of local authorities by employees were reported during the year by Audit Inspectors, and in every instance the defaulter was dealt with by Criminal Court action. In addition to these cases, six instances of cash shortages were reported, and, in accordance with the established rule, they were referred to the police for investigation and appropriate action. Breaches of Statute. —The numerous breaches of statute by local-body members and officers which were dealt with by the Audit Office during the past year are detailed in Schedule A below. An adjustment in the accounts, or a recovery of the moneys, as the case may be, has been required in all cases, excepting where a satisfactory explanation has been made or where the special circumstances were such that an adjustment has been waived conditionally on legislation being obtained to validate the irregularities. A list of these special cases is set out in Schedule B. Schedule A.

Section 39 (2) of the Public Revenues Act, 1926, gives authority for certain investments from the balance of the Public Account, and. states that such investments shall be charged against a separate account to be called the Public Account Cash Balance Investment Account. All moneys in the Public Account belong to one or other of the special funds or accounts to which they are paid or credited pursuant to statutory authority, and the effect of the section is to enable moneys belonging to such accounts to be paid from the Public Account by way of investment, without any payment being entered against the account or accounts to which such moneys belong. The result is that the cash balances of these statutory accounts are shown at an inflated figure, the balances of all such accounts being inflated by the amount charged against the Public Account Cash Balance Investment Account, which is merely a Suspense Account, with no credit balance against which such payments may be charged. This procedure appears to the Audit Office to be unsatisfactory, as the amounts shown in the various accounts as " Cash in the Public Account " are often considerably overstated and therefore misleading. For example, in Statement 8.-l [Part I], 1927-28, page 11, there appears in the Ordinary Revenue Account the following item— " Balance at end of year — " Cash in the Public Account .. .. .. £1,729,392 2s. 6d." A reference to page 72 of the same statement, and to page 4 of 8.-l [Part ll] for the same year, shows that the total cash in the Public Account was actually £1,489,507 4s. sd. only, some £240,000 less than was shown in the Ordinary Revenue Account alone, without making any allowance for the cash balances held by some forty other accounts. The cash balances of the individual accounts forming part of the Public Account were at that time overstated by £2,275,000 in the aggregate. The statement in the accounts that the Ordinary Revenue Account held cash in the Public Account to the amount of £1,729,392 2s. 6d. when in fact the total cash in the public Account was £1,489,507 4s. sd. only was clearly incorrect and, I fear, misleading to the public. The remedy is to charge the investments to the accounts which provide the money. There are, however, I understand, Treasury objections to this course. A similar condition appears in the public accounts for 1928-29. In 8.-l [Part I] page 11 there is shown under the Ordinary Revenue Account " Cash in the Public Account, £2,315,380 16s. 6d," and on page 19 under Public Works Fund, General Purposes Account, " Cash in the Public Account, £2,431,511 14s. 7d.," while from page 72 of the same statement and page 4 of 8.-l [Part ll] it is clear that the total cash in all the accounts within the Public Account was £2,263,761 13s. 9d. only. The cash balance of these two accounts combined was therefore overstated by over £2,483,000 at the 31st March, 1929. At the same time the individual cash balances of all the accounts were overstated by no less than £6,280,000 in the aggregate.

Main Highways Account. —Interest on Hutt Road Loans. Audit had occasion to question a payment made in terms of section 33 of the Finance Act, 1927 (No. 2), from the Main Highways Revenue Fund to the Wellington City Council, in respect of overdraft interest on moneys borrowed by hypothecation of debentures. The section quoted authorizes the Government to recoup the City Council in respect of interest and sinking fund charges on loans raised under the authority of the Hutt Road Amendment Act, 1917, the Wellington City and Suburban Highways Construction and Hutt Road Amendment Act, 1924, and the Wellington City and Suburban Highways Construction and Hutt Road Amendment Act, 1927. The Wellington City Council obtained authority to raise a loan for a sum of £20,000, and in order to save time hypothecated debentures with the bank and arranged for an overdraft. When the vouchers for payment of the interest charges were presented for examination it appeared to Audit that interest payments were restricted by the section above-mentioned to interest on loans actually raised, and that payment of overdraft interest imposed an extra liability on the fund which apparently was not contemplated by the Legislature. The matter was accordingly referred to the Crown Law Office, and the Crown Solicitor's ruling was to the effect that although the payment was legal and that the Main Highways Board was bound to make the payment, he was impressed with the Audit contention, and considered there was a very pressing reason for revising the legislation, or at least for telling the Wellington City Council that unless it floats the loan without delay this step will be recommended. In view of the increased cost to the fund in respect of interest charges as a result of moneys being raised by the hypothecation of debentures, it is considered by Audit that the legislation in question should be revised, and that the City Council should be required to float the loans the interest in respect of which is recouped from the public funds. New Zealand State-guaranteed Advances Act, 1909. Pursuant to section 30 of the New Zealand State-guaranteed Advances Act, 1909, and corresponding provisions of earlier Acts, now repealed, certain sinking funds were established for repayment of loans raised for the Advances to Settlers, Advances to Workers, and Advances to Local Authorities Branches of the State Advances Office. On the repeal of the above-named Acts the sinking fund was continued by section 26 (3) of the State Advances Act, 1913, and thereafter was known as the Advances Office Sinking Fund. Annual contributions to this sinking fund were discontinued pursuant to section 50 of the' Finance Act, 1921-22, but the then existing fund was not in any way disestablished, and continued to accumulate at interest. By sections 17 to 20 of the State Advances Amendment Act, 1922, provision was made for further payments to this sinking fund, consisting of the net profits, if any, from the various branches after providing for certain fixed reserves and other appropriations of profit. During the year 1928-29 payments amounting to £607,966 7s. 5d., representing contributions made to the sinking fund in past years out of capital, have been made from the Advances Office Sinking Fund for the redemption of debentures covered by the sinking fund and held by the Post Office, as follows Advances to Settlers Branch :— Government Advances to Settlers Act, 1908— £ s. d. £ s. d. 4-per-cent. debentures redeemed at maturity .. 153,665 1 11 New Zealand State-guaranteed Advances Act, 1909-10— 44-per-cent. debentures redeemed at maturity .. 205,000 0 0 358,665 1 11 Advances to Workers Branch :— Government Advances to Settlers Act, 1908 (Part 111, Workers) — 4-per-cent. debentures redeemed at maturity •• •• 21,091 711 Advances to Local Authorities Branch : —- New Zealand State-guaranteed Advances Act, 1909— debentures redeemed before maturity .. .. 228,209 17 7 £607,966 7 5 The Post Office immediately repaid the moneys so applied from the sinking fund, and these moneys were then treated as fresh investments by the Post Office in new loans for the State Advances Office issued under the State Advances Act, 1913. The effect of these transactions is that the sinking fund has been utilized to the extent of £607,966 7s. sd. without effecting any actual diminution in the total amount of State Advances loans outstanding, and the interest which would have been earned by this portion of the sinking fund and credited to the Sinking Fund Account will now be diverted to the general Profit and Loss Account of each branch. In other words, the capital sum of £607,966 7s. 5d., and the income therefrom, which were hitherto available only for the redemption of loans, have become available for the general purpose of the State Advances Account. In view of the fact that these sinking-fund moneys have been invested in the same class of security as other moneys belonging to the State Advances Office, there is no apparent advantage to be derived by earmarking a certain proportion of the securities as a sinking fund, and possibly this may be partly the reason for transferring the above sum from sinking fund to the general moneys of the Department which are available for lending purposes. As the law stands, however, these transactions appear to infringe the intention of the Act, which not only established the sinking fund, but has been careful to provide for the continuance and accumulation of the existing funds even though a compulsory fixed annual contribution has been discontinued. It is not clear, however, that the transactions

XVII

B.—l [Pt. ll],

are definitely contrary to law, as the Act authorizes the application of the sinking fund to the redemption of loans. The weakness lies in the failure of the Act to provide, as should be done in all such cases, that the interest saved by the redemption of securities from the sinking fund should be credited to the sinking fund until the fund is sufficient to repay all the loans covered thereby. This weakness has resulted, in the present case, in the statutory provision for sinking fund being practically ineffective, and it would appear to be advisable to make the position clear by legislation. It may reasonably be argued that, as the Act provides that the sinking fund shall be invested in the same manner as other moneys held by the State Advances Office, it might be advisable to repeal the provisions relating to the sinking fund altogether. If, however, it is considered advisable to continue the principle of providing a sinking fund, I would suggest for consideration that it should be modelled on the lines of the scheme adopted, for the redemption of the public debt. Repayment of the Public Debt. Under the operation of the Repayment of the Public Debt Act, 1925, public-debt securities of a nominal value of £3,877,563 13s. 3d. had at the 31st March, 1929, been redeemed and cancelled at a cost of £3,849,927 2s. 4d. 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 previously 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 £46,782 os. 4d. will be effected as a result of the redemptions to the 31st March, 1929 : —

Raising and Conversion of Loans at a Discount. The attention of the Audit Office has recently been focused on the effect which the practice of raising and conversion of-loans at a discount has upon the national debt of the Dominion, and it is evident that very considerable additional burdens are from time to time cast upon the taxpayer by this custom. It is obvious that this increased indebtedness provides no additional cash for development purposes, and it seems questionable whether any benefit is derived from the practice of raising and converting at a discount and endeavouring by this means to keep down the charge for interest. As an instance of the effect of this practice I may refer to the conversions effected by the Treasury during the past year, £16,759,496 4-per-cent. Consolidated Stock, 1929, having been converted into £17,484,336 Is. 4f-per-cent. Consolidated Stock maturing in 1947 and in 1948-58. These conversions involve a direct increase in the public debt of £724,840 Is., representing discounts allowed on the conversions, and also involve additional cash expenses amounting to £192,535 17s. 6d., the total expenses, including discounts, being £917,375 18s. 6d. The annual interest charge is also increased by £116,415. To enable a complete estimate of the total amount by which the public debt has been added to by this means would involve an audit of the history of practically every loan, a work which could not be undertaken without very considerable trouble and expense. I have, however, had an investigation made of one particular loan of which the history has been carefully reviewed. The loan in question is part of the New Zealand loan of 1879. It was originally issued as a convertible debenture loan at 5 per cent., with an option to convert into 4-per-cent. Consolidated Stock, 1929. The original debenture issue was floated at £97|, but actually netted about £95| (see 8.-2, 1926, page 3). By March, 1881, £4,476,000 of the debentures had been converted into 4-per-cent. Consolidated Stock, 1929. The following statement shows the amount of cash received, and the amount of debt now owing in respect of such cash. This loan matures in 1929, and may be considered for the purposes of the following figures to have formed portion of the conversion transactions effected last year.

It will be seen that in respect of the £4,364,100 cash originally received there is now owing the amount of £5,599,476, representing an excess of debt over cash received of about 28 per cent. If the amount of £4,364,100 and subsequent transactions had in each case been raised at the then current market rate of interest, and therefore at par, the present debt would be only £4,364,100. The effect of such transactions, therefore, is that the taxpayer has been relieved of portion of the annual charge for interest during the currency of the loan, whilst the debt and also the annual burden on future taxpayers has been increased. In effect, part of the annual charge has been postponed, and accumulated until the maturity date of each issue, instead of being met during the period of the loan. The above figures will serve to show that a large portion of the total of our present public debt represents increases due to the causes now under notice, and such increases have occurred without any relative increase in the assets of the Dominion, and have therefore, in effect, been added to our " deadweight " or non-productive debt even though the original loan may have been raised for a productive purpose. Our present system of accounts is not so arranged that the full annual charge of our London loa.ns is brought into the accounts during the currency of the loan. Another disadvantage of the system hitherto followed is that the public works which have been constructed from such loan-moneys are shown in the books and accounts at less than their true cost. If, for example, £100,000 of the original loan of £4,364,100 had been expended on a public work, such as a line of railway, the cost would be stated as £100,000. But it is clear that in fact the present capital cost of that work to the Dominion is no less than £128,308. These matters have assumed a greater degree of prominence since the institution of the departmental balance-sheets, and it is obvious that it is impossible to accurately arrive at the capital cost of an undertaking unless the variations noted above are duly recorded in the accounts. Necessity for Uniformity in Rate of Interest chargeable between Government Accounts. A matter which has an important bearing on departmental Revenue Accounts and Balance-sheets, and also on the various separate accounts specially constituted by statute, is the absence of uniformity in fixing the rate of interest on loans between the various Government accounts. It frequently happens that some accounts are in need of money while others have money for investment, either temporarily

or for a period, and in such cases a loan is arranged between sueli accounts, either by way of temporary advance under section 40 of the Public Revenues Act, 1926, or by the sale or issue of Government securities by the borrowing account to the lending account. A uniform ra-te of interest on temporary advances under section 40 has been fixed by the Treasury at 4 per cent., but it has been noticed that the actual rate fixed is far from uniform in the case of loans between Government accounts in New Zealand for which securities are issued, even in the case of loans issued at the same time and under similar circumstances. This matter has assumed an entirely different aspect since the advent of the departmental Revenue Accounts and Balance-sheets, in so much that it is possible, by differentiating between accounts in fixing the rate of interest, to so alter the results disclosed in the departmental accounts as to impair the value of the comparison between one account and another. A simple example will serve to illustrate this. If we take two different accounts representing different commercial undertakings, each with a loan capital of £1,000,000, and suppose that each of these undertakings actually produces a net return of, say, 4§ per cent, on its capital, it is clear that the two undertakings as compared the one with the.other arc on an even footing. But if we suppose that they have both obtained their capital from other Government accounts, in the one case being charged 4 per cent, interest and in the other case 5 per cent., it is clear that the Revenue Account of the one will show an annual profit of £5,000 while the Revenue Account of the other will show an annual loss of £5,000, despite the fact that the undertakings are in reality equally successful. The above case is a purely supposititious one given to illustrate the principle, but actual examples of somewhat similar cases have come under the notice of Audit. For example, securities under the same Act have been issued on the same day to different accounts, some bearing interest at 4 per cent., others at 4J per cent. In another case an account invested in securities of another account on the Ist February at 4 per cent, and on the Ist March at 4|- per cent., though between these dates the current rate offered by the Government on loans had been reduced from 5J per cent, to 5J per cent. Another phase of the same matter is the fixing of the rate of interest at a rate considerably below the current market rate. At a time when the Government is offering 5J per cent, for loans it seems hardly equitable to allow another Government account only 4 per cent, or 4J per cent., especially if, as sometimes happens, the lending account has recently borrowed the money at the current market rate. In one case an account which was borrowing from the public at 5J per cent, borrowed moneys on the same security from another Government account but allowed 4 per cent. only. It appears that if departmental and trading accounts are advanced moneys from other Government accounts at non-uniform rates during the same period, or a't rates bearing no fixed relation to the current rate then being offered for investments in Government securities, the profits or losses of those accounts will be artificially affected, so that the published Revenue Accounts and Balance-sheets will not correctly record the actual financial result of the respective enterprises. Further, if moneys are advanced by one account to another at rates considerably below the current rate on Government loans, the effect will be that part of the interest earned by the moneys of the lending account will be credited in the Profit and Loss Account of the borrowing account, and this will be tantamount to granting a subsidy by the lending to the borrowing account although such subsidy would not be disclosed in the accounts. It appears to the Audit Office that the rate of interest to be charged on loans between Government Departments should be uniform, and should have some relation to the current rate offered to the public on Government loans. It is a matter of considerable importance as affecting the accuracy of the published departmental accounts and balance-sheets. To give a general idea of the position I append & statement showing the rates of interest on sums borrowed and for which securities were issued by the Treasury in New Zealand during the year 1928-29

Control op Expenditure. Constitutional Principles involved. —An important ruling in connection with the constitutional principles governing the parliamentary control of expenditure has been brought under my notice This was a ruling given by the High Court of Australia in a case " The Commonwealth v. The Colonial Ammunition Co., Ltd.," in which it was held that the authority of Parliament is necessary before the Government may undertake works and services, and that an appropriation of moneys for a particular work or service does not, as a general rule, in itself provide the necessary authority. The general principle that parliamentary authority is necessary has of course long been accepted and upheld as one of the basic principles of the British Constitution, but there has been a certain amount of doubt as to whether the provision of an appropriation in itself provided such authority. The ruling mentioned seems to definitely establish the principle that, as a general rule, an appropriation does not in itself authorize the carrying-out of the work or service to which it relates, though in exceptional cases it may do so. Generally speaking, a statutory authority to undertake a work or service and an appropriation of moneys for that particular work or service are both necessary before such work or service may be undertaken by the Government at the cost of the public funds. Expenditure for which no Estimate is submitted. —In connection with the control of expenditure from the Public Account, it is found that, out of a total expenditure of £61,260,754 shown under the various funds and accounts within the Public Account for the year 1928-29. only £24,94-9,896 was covered by annual appropriations, while £36,310,858 was made under permanent appropriations, over which Parliament exercises no direct annual control. Of this £36,310,858 no less than £14,815,554 was expended without having been included in the estimates submitted to Parliament. As mentioned in my report for last year, there are constitutional objections to the taking of permanent appropriations in cases which could without detriment be provided for by annual vote, and in England it is a rule that all such charges shall be provided for in the estimates, even if the appropriation is a permanent one. I would suggest that, with a view to giving Parliament fuller information and therefore increased control over each year's expenditure, steps be taken to ensure that all the projected expenditure for the year under permanent appropriations be included in the estimates submitted to Parliament, and that a statement showing the estimated and the actual expenditure under each head be afterwards submitted as is now the case with annual appropriations. In this connection I would draw attention to section 7 of the Public Works Act, 1928, which requires that the Minister of Public Works sharil each session lay before Parliament full and detailed estimates of the expenditure proposed to be made upon all Government works during the financial year, and states that no such works shall be undertaken unless Parliament appropriates money for the execution thereof. The intention of this section appears to be that no public works shall be carried out unless an estimate in detail of the relative expenditure has been submitted to Parliament and such expenditure has been covered by appropriation. At the present time public works are in some cases being carried on from separate accounts under permanent appropriations without any estimate being submitted as required by this Act. Control of Accounts outside the Public Account.—With regard to Departments whose accounts are outside the Public Account, the difficulty of control is increased owing to the fact that the authority of the Treasury (which, pursuant to section 3 of the Public Revenues Act, 1926, is charged with the administration of that Act, and is therefore primarily responsible for the control of public moneys) is naturally less effective than when the moneys are under the direct control of the Treasury in the Public Account. Steps have been taken during the last two years, with the assistance of the Treasury, to make the control of expenditure from the accounts outside the Public Account more effective, but there still appears to be room for improvement, and the Treasury has this matter under consideration. Special difficulties exist in the case of the Post Office, which, pursuant to the Post and Telegraph Amendment Act, 1927, was entirely separated from the Public Account as from the Ist April, 1928. It has been found that, owing to the system of accounting in use in the Post Office, and the large variety of payments made at offices throughout the length and breadth of the Dominion, including many payments on behalf of Departments whose moneys belong to the Public Account, it is not at present possible to control issues from the Post Office Account in the same manner as issues from the Public Account are controlled. It has therefore been necessary to rely in the case of the Post Office almost entirely on a post-audit of the transactions and not on a control of the issues. The matter of improving the control of this account, if possible, has been brought under the notice of the Treasury, and is still under consideration. In this connection it may be pointed out that the leading authorities indicate that it is one of the fundamental principles of national finance that all transactions should be passed through the one account (known in England as the " Exchequer" or the " Consolidated Fund "), where they come under the direct review of the Treasury and of Parliament. Any departure from this principle tends to weaken the parliamentary control of expenditure. It is of interest to note that had the Post Office transactions not been separated from the Consolidated Fund as from the Ist April, 1928, the deficit shown in the Public Accounts for the year 1928-29 would have been reduced by approximately half a million, as the Post Office figures at present available indicate that the Post Office net receipts for the year exceeded by approximately that amount the sums paid to the Consolidated Fund as interest on Post and Telegraph capital liability and Post Office Savings-bank profits for the year. Relation of Commercial Accounts to Control Accounts. —Audit lias given much consideration to the question of the possibility of in some measure co-ordinating the system of commercial balance-sheets with our present system of public accounts, and in this connection it is necessary to keep in mind the fact that accounts oil commercial lines, though in themselves admirable and necessary, cannot in the

case, of Governmental activities entirely take the place of the budgetary accounts, which are specially designed for the purpose of controlling expenditure. There is a danger that those not fully conversant with the principles of Governmental accounting may conclude that the commercial accounts presented i n the form of Departmental Revenue Accounts and Balance-sheets render the budgetary or appropriation accounts unnecessary, whereas in the opinion of Audit the true position is that the commercial accounts of the various Departments should properly be regarded as supplementary to and not in substitution of the Cash Accounts and Appropriation Accounts required by statute. The following extract from a leading authority on national accounting clearly sets out the difference between commercial and State finance " Though the system of accounting for parliamentary grants necessarily possesses many of the features which are generally understood to be included in the term ' accounting ' as applied to commercial alfairs, it cannot in its wider and more important aspect be treated from the commercial point of view at all, for it is founded on constitutional principles and is dependent on State policy. The essence of commercial finance is the outlay of money with the object of securing a monetary profit. The object of State finance, under parliamentary government, is to strike a balance between receipts and expenditure, or, in practice, to aim at a small surplus in order to prevent the chance of a deficit. ' A State that has large surpluses is as ill managed as one with large deficits.' The profit to the State on its turnover is the measure of efficiency which the Public Service attains —'a thing which may be metaphorically more precious to a nation than rubies and much fine gold, but which, unfortunately, cannot be priced and booked up in a ledger.'" Writing-off of Losses. Another important matter closely connected with the control of expenditure is that of writing-off losses. Section 3 (3) of the Public Revenues Act, .1926, enacts that no moneys or stores are to be finally written off and discharged from any of the accounts to which the Public Revenues Act applies save with the authority of Parliament, but the proviso states that this subsection shall not apply to moneys the payment of which has been remitted pursuant to any lawful authority. As a result of this proviso it is possible for very large sums to be written off without the knowledge of Parliament. For example, during the last two years the following sums, amounting in the aggregate to £7,026,284 os. Id., largely representing concessions made to returned soldiers, have been written off under the authority of section 22 of the Finance Act, 1927 (No. 2) :— Losses written off in Terms of the Finance Act, 1927 (No. 2), Section 22.

Interest during Construction of Works. It is a well-established principle of accountancy that where works are constructed out of loanmoney it is proper that the interest on the loan for the period during which the work is under construction —that is, until the work becomes revenue-earning—should be charged as a part of the capital cost of the work. A similar principle applies in the case of large additions to or extensions of works. In New Zealand it has not been customary to follow this principle in the case of public works constructed out of loan-moneys in the Public Works Fund, General Purposes Account. The result has been that not only has the interest during construction become a direct and final charge on the Ordinary Revenue Account of the Consolidated Fund, and the immediate burden on the taxpayer thus been directly increased, but the cost of each work as shown in the accounts has been considerably understated. In the case of additions and improvements to the railways (but not in the case of new works) the interest during construction has since Ist April, 1925, been charged in the Railway Accounts, but is charged to revenue and not capitalized In the case of large additions and improvements this sometimes results in a heavy charge against railway revenue before the relative expenditure becomes revenue-producing. The importance of this matter may be most easily illustrated by an example. If a line of railway, costing, say, £100,000, takes five years to complete, and the rate of interest is 5 per cent., the cost, supposing the expenditure to be equally distributed over the period, would be as follows : —

It will be seen that though the direct expenditure on construction was £100,000 only, the actual cost of the railway during the period of construction was £112,500, an increase of 12| per cent. Under the New Zealand system only £100,000 would be charged as the cost of the railway, the £12,500 being charged to the Consolidated Fund and met out of general taxation. Under the system usually followed in the case of undertakings run on commercial lines the whole £112,500 would be charged as capital cost of the railway, and the railway revenue would be expected to pay interest on this amount, and not on £100,000 only. A reference to the accounts of the South African railways, which are a Government undertaking, appears to indicate that the accepted commercial principles are applied, and that all interest charges incurred in connection with railway expenditure are brought into the .railway accounts, and not met from general taxation. It is clear that unless these principles are applied the railway accounts do not show the full cost of the undertaking. The foregoing remarks apply not only to railways, but to some other public works which are constructed from loan-money over a period of years. SUGGESTIONS BY THE CONTROLLER AND AUDITOR-GENERAL. Section 90, Public Revenues Act, 1926. In accordance with the above section I would offer the following suggestions with reference to a better record of the details of expenditure under the annual votes, and with a view to facilitating the charging and audit of the vouchers for expenditure under such votes. It is the present practice, in presenting the estimates to Parliament, to incorporate a statement showing the actual expenditure under the various items for the previous financial year. This statement is the only record of such itemized expenditure, and is thus a very valuable statement for purposes of record. It is the practice, however, when incorporating the estimates as passed by the House in the parliamentary papers 8.-7 and 8.-7 a, to omit this information, so that no record of the itemized expenditure is preserved in the Appendix to the Journals of the House. As a result it is sometimes a matter of great difficulty to obtain such information relating to past years. The estimates alone are of little use after the expiration of the year to which they relate, but the expenditure made thereunder should be a matter of permanent record, and I would therefore suggest that the estimates as passed by the House, and recorded in 8.-7 and 8.-7 a, should include the itemized statement of the previous year's expenditure.

B.—l [PT. ll].

The other matter to which I would refer relates to the use of item numbers in the estimates. At present the items as presented to the House are not numbered, and no numbers are inserted until the estimates have been passed by the House and are embodied in the statements 8.-7 and 8.-7 a. These statements are not usually available for Audit purposes until some eight months of the financial year to which they relate have elapsed, and as a result the checking of the expenditure under votes is rendered more difficult during the whole of that period. I would suggest that if it were possible to number the items in the estimates as brought before the House, the item numbers would be available for the greater portion of the year, and the auditing of the expenditure, a,nd probably the charging of vouchers by the Departments, would thus be much simplified. In this connection I would also draw attention to the grouping of unrelated services under the one item of a vote. For example, in the 1928-29 appropriations, 8.-7, under Vote 78, Working Railways, Item No. 5, are three such different services as —Purchase of stores ; State sawmills (including purchase of land, timber, and machinery, and equipment and working) ; and Purchase of land on behalf of employees, and advances to employees for purchase of houses. Similarly, under Vote No. 79, Post and Telegraph Working-expenses, Item No. 8, are grouped —Allowances to Savings-bank officers ; Furniture and fittings ; various Office management expenses; Overtime and meal allowances ; Parcelpost expenses ; and Maintenance of Post and Telegraph buildings. If each of the items under these votes were separately numbered, as is the case in the majority of the votes, the auditing of the expenditure would be much more readily effected and the control of expenditure be improved. STATEMENT OF ROYALTIES PAYABLE TO THE CROWN AND UNPAID AT 31st MARCH, 1929. Section 91 (2), Public Revenues Act, 1926. Section 91 (2) of the Public Revenues Act, 1926, reads as follows : " The Controller and AuditorGeneral 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 and that of the preceding year 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 course previously adopted, 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. £ s. d.

MONEYS AND STORES WRITTEN OFF. Section 3 (3), Public Revenues Act, 1926. A statement of the items representing moneys and stores to the writing-off of which the Audit Office has given its concurrence since last report is shown in the Appendix hereto. STAFF. There has been a small increase during the year in the number of officers engaged on inspection and examination, the staff now numbering 162. The increase is by the appointment of new cadets for training, who in due course will fill vacancies arising from time to time. It is pleasing for me to be able to say that the staff has been able to still further reduce the arrears of work, which now exist only in a very few cases. The staff during tlie past year has been most assiduous in its duties, and has given every satisfactionThe duty of investigating and criticizing the expenditure of Government Departments and Local Authorities is one which calls for much tact and the exercise of considerable intelligence. It is recognized that the Audit Office, in the exercise of its functions, should as far as possible refrain from commenting on administrative acts provided such acts have the authority of law. There are, however, exceptions to this rule, and it often becomes necessary for Audit to criticize administrative acts in cases where in its opinion expenditure has been extravagant or not incurred in the best interests of the public. lam pleased to say, however, that both in the case of Government Departments and also of local bodies such investigations have been accepted without protest.
