I have to report that I have completed the audit of the accounts of the East Coast Native Trust lands for the twelve months ended 30th June, 1930, and have the following comments to make thereon :— Stock Account. —I have accepted without reservation the figures certified to by Mr. H. Syme, Farm Superintendent, and Mr. J. Harvey, Agent for the East Coast Commissioner at Gisborne, for the live-stock on hand at 30th June, 1930, on the various farms. Distribution. —With reference to the distributions which have been made to the Natives from several blocks during the current year, I have checked the amounts which have been paid direct from the East Coast Trust, and have seen receipts for these. In most instances, however, cheques were handed to the Native Department for distribution to the various Natives concerned through the Tairawhiti District Maori Land Board. I have seen receipts from the Native Land Board for the total moneys paid to them, but have not checked the individual receipts of Natives. The same procedure has been adopted in previous years — i.e., the individual payments are checked by the Government Auditor in the course of his audit of the accounts of the Tairawhiti District Maori Land Board. Interest. —I notice that in various block accounts, amounts of interest which have been allowed on credit balances in past years have been written back in the present year's accounts. Authority for these entries is necessary, and is being obtained from the Native Land Court. Subject to the foregoing remarks, I certify that to the best of my knowledge and belief the accounts are correct, and I attach hereto a set of same for the period under review. I have, &c, D. R. Menzies, Chartered Accountant (Aust.), Auditor. The Hon. the Minister of Native Affairs, Wellington.
