PUBLIC ACCOUNTS FOR THE FINANCAL YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH, 1931.

REPORT OF THE CONTROLLER AND AUDITOR-GENERAL.

[ have the honour to submit my report for the year ending 31st March, 1931, 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. The differences between the statement of accounts as submitted for audit and the Treasury books, owing to the method of treating investments under the authority of section 16 of the Finance Act, 1927 (No. 2), and which I have reported on previous occasions, still continue. Under this authority certain amounts paid out of the various accounts by way of investment, though correctly entered as expenditure in the Treasury books in accordance with the ordinary principles of accountancy, are omitted from the expenditure as shown in the published accounts and are treated as balances in hand. CASES IN WHICH THE PROVISIONS OF THE LAW HAVE NOT BEEN CARRIED OUT. Section 89 (2) (b), Public Revenues Act, 1926. Finance Act, 1931 (No. 2), Section 10. Section 10 of the Finance Act, 1931 (No. 2) enacts that the provisions of the Public Revenues Act, 1926, governing the accounting for the expenditure of public moneys, shall not apply to certain payments made from the Public Account in London (through the Foreign Imprest Account) by the High Commissioner under the authority of section 20 of the Finance Act, 1928. Payments can, under this latter provision, be made on behalf of Government Departments having banking accounts outside the Public Account, such as the State Fire Office and others, or on behalf of local authorities, or on behalf of private persons or non-governmental bodies, the amounts being refunded to the Public Account. There is, of course, no objection to the practice of making these payments, but their exemption from the provisions of the Public Revenues Act is interpreted by the Treasury to exempt them from Audit supervision, and the payments, though made out of the Public Account from public moneys, are not being recorded in the public accounts kept by the Treasury or in the statutory Public Accounts presented to Parliament pursuant to the Public Revenues Act, 1926. The vouchers are not charged against the permanent appropriation provided by section 20 of the Finance Act, 1928 to cover these payments, nor are they submitted to the Audit Office for appropriation audit in terms of the Public Revenues Act. %

B.—l [Pt. ll].

One of the functions of the Audit Office is the appropriation audit of all payments, and the Controller and Auditor-General is specifically forbidden by section 72 of the Public Revenues Act, 1926, to dispense with such audit. As the vouchers for the payments now in question are not charged against the appropriation authorizing the payments to be made by the High Commissioner, and do not come before the Audit Office for an appropriation audit, it is not possible for Audit to fulfil the requirements of the Public Revenues Act. In the opinion of the Audit Office the omission of cash transactions from the Public Accounts is contrary to the accepted principles of accountancy, and the section of the Finance Act, 1931 (No. 2) referred to is a serious interference with the safeguards imposed by the Public Revenues Act, 1926, on the expenditure of public moneys. The law as it stands opens the door to abuse, as, under its provisions, public moneys could be used temporarily for private purposes wit limit any record being entered in the Public Accounts. It is conceivable, for example, that loans could be granted, without interest, to unauthorized individuals, or that payments in London could be made to or on behalf of such individuals free of exchange, repayment being made in Wellington, without submitting any voucher to the Audit Office quoting the statutory authority for such payments, and without recording such payments in the Public Accounts, either in the Treasury books or in the statutory accounts submitted to Parliament. The payments in question are advances made from the Public Account, very similar in their nature to the advances on behalf of other Governments, and similar in principle to advances made to the Native Trustee, Southland Electric-power Board, Rural Intermediate Credit Board, &c, under permanent appropriations, which are all recorded in the Public Accounts. From an accounting point of view there is no more justification for omitting from the Public Accounts the payments made under section 20 of the Finance Act, 1928, than there would be for omitting these other advances. Before the amendment of the law by section 10 of the Finance Act, 1931 (No. 2), referred to, the particulars of the payments in question were shown under " Permanent Appropriations —Special Acts—Finance Act, 1928, section 20," in 8.-l [Part ll], and came before Audit in the usual manner ; but since the amendment the payments have been entirely omitted from the public accounts. As the section is mandatory in form, and is made retrospective to the date of passing of the Finance Act, 1928, it would appear that, if it authorizes the omission of the later entries from the Public Accounts, it also invalidates the earlier entries which have actually been made in the accounts. Some of the payments made in the earlier portion of the year 1930-31, before the Act was amended, were entered in the accounts and appear in 8.-l [Part ll], at the bottom of page 61, but the later payments were not BO entered. I have endeavoured to trace these later payments made during the year, and a statement is appended for the information of Parliament showing these unrecorded amounts ; but it is possible that, owing to the difficulty of tracing payments the vouchers for which are not brought into account, the statement may not be complete. The only opportunity afforded the Audit Office of tracing such transactions is when the recovery is made, and, should no recovery be made, the transaction would not come under the notice of Audit. In preparing the statement it was found that one payment of £970 was made prior to the receipt of the relative amount into the Public Account. This amount is in excess of the £500 maximum allowed by section 20 of the Finance Act, 1928, and the payment was therefore contrary to law. As the vouchers were not submitted for audit, the illegal nature of the payment was not discovered during the year.

Statement of those Payments made by the High Commissioner in the Year 1930-31 under the Authority of the Finance Act, 1928, Section 20, which have not been brought into the Public Accounts.

State Advances Debt. Section 36 (b) of the New Zealand State-guaranteed Advances Act, 1909, provided that certain loans raised for State advances under the Government Advances to Settlers Act, 1908, "shall be credited by the Treasury in the Public Accounts of the Dominion in reduction of the public debt.'' The 1909 Act further made it clear that any fresh loans raised thereunder were to be charged upon the New Zealand State-guaranteed Advances Account and guaranteed by the Government of New Zealand, and were not to be deemed part of the public debt charged on the public revenues of New Zealand. The New Zealand State-guaranteed Advances Amendment Act, 11)10, authorized the loans raised thereunder to be charged on the public revenues, but in section 8 of this Act it was specifically provided that, as between the Treasury and the State Advances Office, such loans " shall not be deemed to form part of the public debt, but shall be entered in the appropriate accounts of the Advances Office as capital liabilities of the respective branches of that Office". Pursuant to these provisions of law, the loans raised under these Acts for advances to settlers, advances to workers, and advances to local authorities have been kept separate from the public debt, and have been shown in the public-debt accounts in 8.-l [Part lII], as " State Advances Debt," while the securities outstanding in respect of these loans have been kept distinct from the securities outstanding in respect of the public debt, and have been shown in separate statements following the statement of securities outstanding in respect of the public debt. The Treasury has decided to abolish this distinction and to bring all these loans within the public debt. With this end in view, the securities outstanding at the 31st March, 1931, have been brought under the heading " The Public Debt of New Zealand " in 8.-l [Part lII], pages 53 and 54, and the separate statements have been discontinued. In view of the distinction created by statute, however, it did not appear to Audit to be permissible to bring these loans within the public debt, and it has therefore been decided to introduce legislation authorizing their inclusion in the public debt. As there appears to be no good reason, from an accountancy point of view, for maintaining any distinction between these loans and the public debt, I have certified 8.-l [Part lII], in anticipation of such legislation being passed. In the statement showing the balances and summary of transactions of the public debt for the year the loans comprising the State Advances debt have not been brought into the public debt. Entries to do this will no doubt be submitted by the Treasury during the current year, after the proposed legislation has been passed. I would take the opportunity of drawing attention to the fact that the loans raised under the Rural Advances Act, 1926, which are very similar in their nature to those mentioned above, are not brought into the public debt. There can be no question that these loans are a debt of the New Zealand Government, for they are raised by a Government Department —the State Advances Office— and the principal and interest is payable, in the first place, from the Consolidated Fund, and is recoverable by that fund from the State Advances Account. It would seem, therefore, that these loans also should be brought into the public-debt accounts as part of the public debt of the Dominion. Payment of Fees to Annuitants of the Public Service Superannuation Fund who were engaged by the government to serve on a commission. Section 33 of the Public Service Superannuation Act, 1927, provides, inter alia, that when a contributor receives payment for services rendered by him to or for any branch of the Government service while in receipt of a retiring-allowance, then do more <>f such retiring-allowance shall be paid in respect of any month than is equivalent, when added to the remuneration so received by him in that month, to one-twelfth of his annual salary at the date of retirement. During the year vouchers were submitted to the Audit Office supporting claims for fees payable to two superannuitants who were appointed to a Commission to hear cases of hardship arising out of the operation of the special land tax. As the fees, together with their superannuation, exceeded the amount allowed by the section quoted above, the vouchers were not passed by Audit until the assurance of the Minister of Finance was given that a validating clause would be provided therefor. Unemployment Act, 1930.—Exemption from Payment of Levy. Certain classes of persons were granted exemption from payment of the unemployment levy by Order in Council dated the 12th December, 1930. Some persons who are entitled to exemption under these regulations had paid the December instalment of the levy before the Order in Council was published. Vouchers for refunds of these instalments were submitted, but as the Order in Council did not have retrospective effect the applicants were not legally entitled to a refund. As it did not appear equitable that applicants should be penalized as the result of delay in the issue of the regulations, Audit passed the vouchers on an undertaking being given by the Minister of Finance that validating legislation would be provided during the ensuing session. Grant by the Government to the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Civil List Act, 1920. —Section 16 of the Civil List Act, 1920, and section 11 of the Finance Act, 1927, provide for the salary and allowances payable to the Speaker of the House of Representatives. In November of last year a grant of £200 was made to the Speaker to enable him to take an extended health-recruiting trip. There was no statutory authority for the payment of this amount, but Audit passed the claim on receipt of an assurance from the Government that the necessary legislative authority would be provided therefor during the ensuing session.

Native Trust Office. —Access Road to Aohanga Station. In order to give improved road access to the Aohanga Station property, which is being developed by the Native Trustee, it was necessary to provide the County Council with the necessary funds to proceed with the work. The Native Trustee proposed to advance the sum of £500 on account of rates payable in future years, the amount to be credited by the Council in equal instalments, plus interest at 5 per cent, on the outstanding balance, against the rates payable for a period of five years. As there was no authority for the Native Trustee to make payments in respect of rates becoming due beyond the current financial year, and, also, as no authority existed for a local body to accept an advance of rates subject to the payment of interest thereon, the Audit Office was unable to pass the payment. The Minister of Finance, however, agreed to introduce legislation that would validate the proposals of the Native Trustee, and the Audit Office then agreed to pass the payment in anticipation of the legislation. Local Authorities. Breaches of the law committed by local authorities are dealt with in paragraph " Audit of accounts of Local Authorities."

PEOCEEDINGS TAKEN AGAINST DEFAULTEES AND OTHERS. Section 89 (2) (e), Public Revenues Act, 1926. Particulars of the 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 amounts surcharged by the Controller and Auditor-General which remain unsatisfied. No surcharges have been wholly disallowed during the year by the Minister on appeal; some were reduced. 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. Repayment ov the Public Debt. The following table gives particulars of the amount of securities redeemed during the year under the provisions of the Repayment of the Public Debt Act, 1925, and also of the total amount so redeemed to 31st March, 1931 : —

* Difference between the rate of interest which the securities bore and the rate (3£ per cent.) payable by the Consolidated Fund to the Public Debt Repayment Account. It will be seen that an annual saving of interest amounting to £69,198 9s. 3d. has now been effected by the operation of the Act. This saving increases year by year as the cumulative effect of the sinking fund becomes apparent, as the following figures show : — Annual Saving in Interest on Securities redeemed to — £ s. d. 31st March, 1926 .. .. .. .. .. .. 8,137 10 3 31st March, 1927 .. .. .. .. .. .. 27,043 9 3 31st March, 1928 .. .. .. .. .. .. 39,592 0 4 31st March, 1929 .. .. .. .. .. .. 46,782 0 4 31st March, 1930 .. .. .. .. .. .. 57,218 13 7 31st March, 1931 .. .. .. .. .. .. 69,198 9 3

Increase and Decrease of the Debt. The Public Debt Accounts disclose a net increase in the public debt for the year of £8,650,015 os. 3d. This was made up as follows : — Total debt as at 31st March, 1930 (8.-l [Part lII], 1930, £ b. d. page 24) •• 267,383,342 18 4 Increase — New loans raised during the year for £ s. d. the purposes of various accounts .. .. 11,119,725 0 0 Loans raised for redemptions but not applied as at 31st March, 1931 .. .. .. 3,975 0 0 11,123,700 0 0 Decrease — Loans paid off during the year — £ s. d.

The amount of such loans outstanding as at the 31st March, 1930, was £2,771,200, and on the 31st March, 1931, was £3,978,950, an increase during the year of £1,207,750. The total increase in Government loan indebtedness during the year was therefore £9,857,765 os. 3d. At the 31st March, 1931, a sum of £344,182 4s. Id. appropriated for the redemption of loans was lying at credit of the Loans Redemption Account, particulars being as follows : — Finance Act, 1925, section 13 — Amount received in respect of war expenses, to be applied in redemption of £ s. d. war loans 11,697 6 2 Public Revenues Act, 1926, section 135 (2)— Amount received on account New Zealand share of German reparations, to be applied in redemption of war loans .. .. .. .. 179,708 7 1 Public Revenues Act, 1926, section 135 (4)— Amount received from Main Highways Account (Revenue Fund) for redemption of main-highways loans .. .. .. .. 144,636 0 0 Amount transferred from Ordinary Revenue Account for redemption of main-highways loans (representing interest received on main-highways moneys held in Loans Redemption Account) .. .. .. 4,165 10 10 Loans raised for redemption of securities, but not applied during the year .. 3,975 0 0 £344,182 4 1 Interest on Public Account Cash Balance Investments. In my report of last year I drew attention to the system of allocating the interest derived from certain investments to all the accounts within the Public Account instead of to those accounts only which provide the money for the investments. As there is no record in the Public Accounts for 1930-31 of the amounts allocated to each account, I append a statement showing the details. With regard to the item of £8 16s. 9d. shown in the statement under Deposits Account, I may explain that this represents half the amount allocated in respect of the balance of the Unemployment Fund. It was at first intended that this amount should be paid to the credit of the Consolidated Fund, but, as it appeared to the Audit Office that the whole of the interest earned by the Unemployment Fund should be. credited to the latter fund, the matter was referred to the Crown Law Office, and a ruling has been given to the effect that the whole of the interest earned should be credited to the Unemployment Fund. The interest in question, however, together with other amounts which have since been received as interest on investments of the Unemployment Fund, is still held in suspense.

Cost of Remittances to London. During the period from January to May, 1929, £5,650,(MK) was remitted to London, at a cost of £30,300, to meet repayment of the Consolidated Stock loan which matured on the Ist November, 1929, as shown in the Budget for last year, which states that stock to the amount of £1,925,500 and £4,731,356 (£6,656,856 in all) was met from funds provided from New Zealand (8.-6, 1930, page 12). Pending their application for this purpose, these moneys were temporarily invested in London, and the interest earned was as shown in the preceding comment, , page x, allocated to all the accounts within the Public Account. Under the authority of the Appropriation Act, 1926, section 13 (as amended by the Finance Act, 1929, section 14), the cost of these remittances has also been allocated against the various accounts which obtained the interest, in proportion to amounts of interest credited, and not against the accounts whose loans were maturing. This allocation does not appear to the Audit Office to be an equitable one, for the following reasons :— The maturing loans making up the £6,656,856 were for the following accounts — £ Consolidated Fund—Ordinary Revenue Account .. .. .. 2,292,442 Public Works Fund—General Purposes Account .. .. .. 4,072,791 Land for Settlements Account .. .. .. .. . 23,765 Native Land Settlement Account . . . . . . .. .. 3,731 Naval Defence Act Account .. .. .. .. .. 24,613 State Coal-mines Account . . .. . . .. .. 518 State Advances Account .. .. .. .. .. 238,996 £6,656,856 and it follows that the cost of remitting these moneys should have been charged against the above accounts in proportion to the amount of loan paid off. Actually, however, the cost was charged against other accounts as well, and in proportion to the interest credited. The result has been that certain accounts on behalf of which no part of the remittances was made, as they had no loans maturing, have been charged with a portion of the costs of remittances made on behalf of other accounts. As an instance, I would refer to the case of the Electric Supply Account, against which a charge of £2,295 4s. 10d. was made for the cost of remittances, although this account had no need for any remittance to London. As a matter of fact, this account had surplus funds of its own in London at the time, which were being used to save other accounts the cost of remittances. Permanent Appropriations—Under Special Acts of the Legislature. In the Abstract of the Revenue and Expenditure of the Public Account certified by me pursuant to section 88 of the Public Revenues Act, 1926, the Treasurj baa for the year ended 31st March, 1931, adopted a new method of classifying the expenditure under permanent appropriations. The new method of showing this expenditure appears to me to be a considerable improvement on the method previously followed, as it gives a clearer indication of the nature of t he services on which the expenditure was made. In two respects, however, the new classification appears to be incorrect and misleading. (a) Under the heading " Debt Services " in 8.-l [Part I], page 5, are included all payments made by the Treasury in connection with Government loans (including payments made on nonGovernment loans guaranteed by the Government), with one exception—namely, interest paid from the Consolidated Fund on loans raised by the Government under the Rural Advances Act, 1926, and recovered from the State Advances Office. This interest has been shown under the heading " Other Services, Other Special Acts. Miscellaneous," but it appears to the Audit Office that it should properly be included under the heading " Debt Services—lnterest." The item " Total debt services " would therefore appear to be incorrect, the figures shown in the " Gross " column and " Credits " column being understated by £161,662 11s. Id. and £162,501 Is. respectively (being the amount of such interest paid from and recoverable by the Consolidated Fund during the year), while the figures shown in the " Net " column are overstated by £838 9s. lid. (6) In 8.-l [Part I], pages 7 and 9, there appear the following items of net expenditure :— Westport Harbour Act, 1920, section 5a (2)— Advance to Westport Harbour £ e. d. Account .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 5 ) ooo o 0 Rural Intermediate Credit Act, 1927, section 16—Advances to Rural Intermediate Credit Board .. .. .. .. .. .. 127,900 0 0 Finance Act, 1929, section 9— Assistance towards repair to or the restoration of public works damaged by the West Coast earthquake and the provision of special services necessary as a result of such earthquake .. .. 174 0 0 Imprest Supply Act, 1927, section 4—Subsidies to local authorities in respect of amounts expended in relief of unemployment .. .. .. 1,818 6 3 Unemployment Act, 1930, section 3 (3)— Subsidy on expenditure out of Unemployment Fund .. .. .. .. .. .. 159,246 11 3 Hawke's Bay Earthquake Act, 1931, section 58—Grants and special Government services in connection with the Hawke's Bay earthquake .. 29,535 18 10 Local Authorities Empowering (Relief of Unemployment) Amendment Act, 1928, section 3—Subsidies to local authorities in respect of unemployment relief works .. .. .. .. .. ~ 114,950 1 0 £438,624 17 4

B.—l [Pt. I!].

These items all consist of expenditure made under permanent appropriations under special Acts of the Legislature, and in the opinion of Audit should have been brought under that heading on page sof the Abstract. As a result of their omission from this heading the item " Total Permanent Appropriations," at the bottom of that page, is understated by the net amount of £438,624 17s. 4d. Miscellaneous Revenue. Under the heading of " Other Receipts—Miscellaneous " in the Ordinary Revenue Account in 8.-l [Part I], page 4, appears an amount of £286,303 2s. 10d. The amount under the heading " Miscellaneous " is unusually large as compared with previous years, the figures for the last five years being as follows : — £ s. d. 1926-27 .. .. .. .. .. 58,121 6 7 1927-28 .. .. :. .. .. 41,938 15 2 1928-29 .. .. .. .. .. 99,221 12 6 1929-30 .. .. .. .. .. 230,232 13 8 1930-31 .. .. .. .. .. 286,303 210 The increase is partly accounted for by the fact that the separate heading " Rents of Buildings " has in the 1930-31 accounts been discontinued, and the receipts from rents are included under " Miscellaneous." The chief reason, however, for the large amount appearing under " Miscellaneous " is the inclusion of several items of a non-recurring nature. These items are as follows :— Balance of Advances to Other Governments Account, transferred in £ e. d. terms of section 7 (3) of the Finance Act, 1930 (No. 2) .. 38,560 8 4 Balance of Land Assurance Fund Account, transferred in terms of section 53 (1) of the Finance Act, 1930 .. .. .. 61,988 14 0 Profit received from the Post Office Account on sale of Post Office investment certificates .. .. .. .. .. 40,000 0 0 £140,549 2 4 Interest on Pubmc Moneys. Another heading of revenue which shows an increase during the year is " Interest on Public Moneys," the amouni shown in 8.-l [Part I] for the year 1930-31, page 4, being £866,980 13s. 5d., as compared with £803,491 6s. 3d. for the previous year. This heading covers various items of interest received, and particulars are shown in 8.-l [Part ll], pages 11-12. As in the case of Miscellaneous Revenue, referred to above, the increased amount is due to items of a non-recurring nature coming to credit during the year. The most important of these are— Amount received from Main Highways Account, Revenue Fund— Interest on £1,226,000 under the Finance Act, 1930, section 36 £ s. d. (expires 31st August, 1931) .. .. .. .. 61,300 0 0 Interest on proceeds sale of Crown lands (section 13, Land Laws Amendment Act, 1926)— Arrears, 1926-27 to 1929-30 .. 51,001 6 5 Interest on enemy property moneys held by the Public Trustee (representing arrears) .. .. .. .. .. 30,000 0 0 £142,301 6 5 The item of £61,300 will be non-recurring only if the provisions of section 36 of the Finance Act, 1930, are not revived during the current session. It will be seen that the receipts for the year under " Miscellaneous" and " Interest on Public Moneys " included over £200,000 of a non-recurring nature (ignoring the item of £61,300), and that a considerable falling-off in the receipts under these headings must therefore be expected during the current year. Closing of the National Endowment Accounts. During the year ihe National Endowment Account has been abolished under the provisions of section 18 of the Finance Act, 1930 (No. 2), and the National Endowment Trust Account has been abolished under the provisions of section 12 of the Land Laws Amendment Act, 1930. Pursuant to these sections, the balance of the National Endowment Account has been paid into the Consolidated Fund, and all moneys which were hitherto payable to the National Endowment Account are now being paid to the Consolidated Fund, while in the case of the National Endowment Trust Account the balance has been paid to the Land for Settlements Account, and moneys which were hitherto payable into the Trust Account are now being paid into the Land for Settlements Account. In the latter case, pursuant to section 13 of the Land Laws Amendment Act, 1930, interest is payable by the Land for Settlements Account to the Consolidated Fund on the amount of the National Endowment Trust moneys so paid into the Land for Settlements Account. There is, however, no provision for allowing interest to the National Endowment on the amount of national-endowment moneys paid into and held by the Consolidated Fund, consequently the revenue which was formerly received by the National Endowment from the investment of the moneys in the accounts now abolished will now be much reduced. Further, the rate of interest allowed by the Land for Settlements Account is fixed at 4 per cent, only, which is considerably below the ruling rate of interest. As a result of the closing of the separate accounts, therefore, the moneys available for payment to

XIII

B.—l [Pp. ll].

universities under section 297 (a) of the Land Act, 1924, will be reduced, and, similarly, the amounts available for credit of the Education vote under section 297 (6) of the Land Act, 1924, and for the payment of old-age pensions under section 298 of the same Act, will be correspondingly reduced. It seems doubtful whether this reduction, particularly in the amounts payable to universities, was contemplated when the sections were passed abolishing the separate accounts. New Zealand Reparation Estates. During the year the revenues of the New Zealand Reparation Estates situated in Samoa were, by an Order in Council under the Treaties of Peace Act, 1919 (Gazette, 1930, page 3494), brought within the Consolidated Fund and made public moneys within the meaning of the Public Revenues Act, 1926 (with the exception of sections 21 and 44 of that Act), and the receipts and expenditure of these estates have for the first time been brought under the review of Parliament, a new subdivision in the estimates having been provided under vote External Affairs. This is a decided improvement, as it will tend to give a measure of parliamentary control over the expenditure on the Reparation Estates. Owing, however, to the fact that it is not contrary to law to exceed the amount of any subdivision of a vote, provided that the total vote is not exceeded, there is nothing to prevent portion of the amount voted for External Affairs, Head Office, being applied to Reparation Estates, or vice versa, and the control of Parliament is therefore not yet as effective as might be desired. Direct parliamentary control over the amount to be expended on Reparation Estates could be obtained only by making such expenditure the subject of a separate vote, and not merely a subdivision within a vote. Finance Act, 1930 (No. 2), Section 6. I have more than once had occasion to call attention to the tendency of recent legislation to weaken the provisions of the Public Revenues Act in so far as they relate to the control of expenditure by Parliament. As another instance I may refer to section 6 (2) of the Finance Act, 1930 (No. 2), in which it is enacted that certain advances out of the Public Account may be charged against the Public Account Cash Balance Investment Account. This latter account is merely in the nature of a suspense account in which there is no credit balance against which to charge expenditure. Section 55 of the Public Revenues Act requires that the Controller and Auditor-General, before authorizing the issue of any moneys, shall satisfy himself that there is sufficient balance to the credit of the fund or account to meet the charges named in the requisition. The advances in the clause of the Finance Act referred to above are, however, not charged against any fund or account coming within the meaning of the above section 55 ; consequently the Controller and Auditor-General is unable to comply with the provisions of the Public Revenues Act. Another objection to this method of charging advances is that it has the effect of rendering the statement of particulars of the various funds and accounts, as published, to be misleading. As the advances are not charged to the various funds and accounts in the Public Account to which the moneys belong, these funds and accounts individually show in the statements submitted to Parliament a fictitious cash balance, for, although an advance of cash has been made from the cash held on behalf of these funds and accounts, such advance has not been charged against them, and the credit balances of the individual accounts show in the published statements the same balances as if no advance had been made. The result is that the same cash shows as a cash balance in two different Government accounts. The practice of utilizing the balances of the funds and accounts so as to derive interest therefrom is, of course, not objected to, but, in the opinion of Audit, the individual amounts contributed by the various funds or accounts should be charged directly against those funds or accounts, in order that the powers of the Controller and Auditor-General can be exercised as required by the Public Revenues Act, and in order that the details of the various funds and accounts may be more accurately shown to Parliament in the accounts of the Dominion. Finance Act, 1930 (No. 2), Section 13. This section enacts that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Public Revenues Act, 1926, the Treasury may direct that public moneys received in countries beyond New Zealand shall be paid into such bank as the Treasury appoints for credit to such imprest or other special account as the Treasury may determine, and that such moneys may be utilized for expenditure under any appropriation of Parliament. This clause gives power to the Treasury to overrule the provisions of sections 26 and 76 of the Public Revenues Act, which require that all public moneys shall, except as therein otherwise provided, be kept in one account at the bank—namely, the Public Account. It is understood that the section was intended to apply to New Zealand public moneys received in Samoa and Australia, and had its application been limited to these countries, or to countries where there was no branch of the Public Account, it would not have been open to serious objection. As enacted, the section would, however, apply to New Zealand public moneys received in England, where there is a branch of the Public Account, and would therefore enable the Treasury, should it so desire, to render inoperative the whole of Part VIII of the Public Revenues Act, 1926, which was intended to govern these moneys. By such action the control exercised by Parliament over the issue of such moneys through the medium of the Audit Office could be entirely evaded. It appears unlikely that the section was intended to apply to public moneys in the United Kingdom, where several millions of New Zealand public moneys are received and expended each year, and it would seem desirable to amend the section so that it will apply only in countries in which no branch of the Public Account exists.

In my report on the accounts for the year ended 31st March, 1929 (8.-l [Part ll], 1929, page xix), I drew attention to the importance of charging interest on loan capital borrowed by one Government account from another on a uniform system and at a rate bearing u reasonable relationship to the current rate offered to the public on Government loans. I find that under the English system it is a rule that the rate of interest to be charged on capital in the case of Government trading services is the current rate of interest fixed for local loans. There is a further rule, based on a recommendation of the Public Accounts Committee of the House of Commons, that a note should be attached to each trading account showing the rate of interest charged on capital advanced to the account. These rules support Audit views as expressed with regard to the necessity for charging interest on capital at a rate commensurate with the current rate, and the importance of the rate of interest as a factor bearing on the accuracy of the accounts, and, in my opinion, a similar practice to that obtaining in England could with advantage be adopted in New Zealand. The practice obtaining in New Zealand of fixing a rate of interest considerably below the ruling rate, and of failing to adopt a uniform method of fixing the rate payable between different Government accounts, has the effect of rendering some of the departmental profit and loss accounts and balance-sheets unreliable. As an example, I would refer to an actual transaction which took place during the year. Early in the year the Electric Supply Account borrowed moneys in London at a cost of approximately 5J per cent, after allowing for expenses. Portion of this money was subsequently lent to other accounts at 4 per cent., £100,000 beinu so lent to the Education Loans Account. Had this £100,000, instead of being lent at 4 per cent., been lent at the same rate as the Electric Supply Account was paying in London —5J per cent. —the Electric Supply Account would have benefited to the extent of £621 9s. Bd., and if it had been lent at the then ruling rate offered by the Treasury to the public in New Zealand—si per cent. —the account would have benefited to the extent of £757 Bs. 5d., whilst the account which borrowed at 4 per cent, has had a corresponding advantage. It is estimated that, taking other similar transactions into consideration, and the current rate of interest at 5i per cent., the loss to the Electric Supply Account during the year from this cause exceeded £5,500. A somewhat similar position arises as a result of the use of Post Office Savings-bank moneys by trading and quasi-trading accounts at less than the current rate payable on Government loans. Large amounts of Savings-bank moneys are invested in securities issued in respect of Treasury loan accounts, the usual rate of interest being only 4 per cent. As a result the revenue accounts and balance-sheets of the accounts receiving the use of this cheap money appear in a much more favourable light than those of the accounts which are forced to borrow at the ruling rate for Government loans. This advantage is in some cases more than sufficient to turn an actual loss into an apparent profit, with misleading effects. Another result is that the profits of the Post Office Savings-bank, which by law belong to the Consolidated Fund, are not as great as they might be, and the Consolidated Fund loses thereby. The lending of the Savings-bank moneys to Treasury accounts at less than the current loan rate has the effect of making an undisclosed subsidy from the Consolidated Fund to the account by which the money is borrowed. Instead of the full potential earnings of the Post Office Savings-bank being applied in reduction of taxation, as is apparently intended by section 95 (c) of the Post and Telegraph Act, 1928, a portion is used in effect to reduce the losses or increase the profits of the separate accounts which borrow the money. To illustrate the importance of this factor from an accounting point of view I append a statement of the Post Office Savings-bank investments in New Zealand Government securities as at the 31st March, 1931, showing the rates of interest and the accounts in respect of which the securities were issued. With the exception of the 31 and 3f per-cents. and the Westport Harbour loan, which were all long-term loans, nearly the whole of these securities have been issued (either for new loans or for renewal of loans) since the Ist April, 1925. Since this date the rates offered by the Government for local loans have been as follows : — Per Cent. Ist April, 1925 .. .. .. .. .. 5J Bth October, 1925 .. .. .. .. .. 5| Ist September, 1926 .. .. .. .. '.. 5£ 15th February, 1929 .. .. .. .. .. 5| 9th January, 1930 .. .. .. .. .. h\ It will be seen, however, from the following statement that some £34,000,000 has been issued by the Post Office Savings-bank during this period at 4 per cent., a rate over 1 per cent, below the ruling rate. An illustration of the effect on departmental profit and loss accounts is offered in the case of the Land for Settlements Account, which borrowed £6,162,626 at 4 per cent, from the Post Office. Had the securities for this amount been issued at 5 per cent, instead of 4 per cent., an increased charge in the Land for Settlements Revenue Account of over £61,000 per annum would have been involved, and a corresponding increase would have been realized in the Post Office Savings-bank profits to be credited to the Consolidated Fund in terms of the Post and Telegraph Act, 1928, section 95 (c). There might be a partial set-off against the increased amount so credited to the Consolidated Fund should the Land for Settlements Account prove unable to recoup to the Consolidated Fund the full amount of interest on loans chargeable against it, but the Consolidated Fund would certainly gain to some extent, and, what is possibly of as much importance, the various accounts concerned would disclose with greater accuracy the results of the. various undertakings.

AD Departments Lave submitted income and expenditure or revenue accounts and balance-sheets for the year 1929-30, and these have been duly examined by the Audit Office. There were only ten accounts for the year, against twelve the previous year, which, for various reasons, were not completed in time to be presented to Parliament during the 1930 session. I have pleasure in reporting that the improvement recorded last year in the preparation of accounts has been well maintained li\- the accounting staffs of the Departments, existing difficulties are being gradually overcome, and better methods of procuring more accurate dissections of expenditure are being brought into operation. I would, however, point out that there are certain practices adopted in regard to the allocation of interest, &c, and which I have dealt with elsewhere, which serve to render some of the balancesheets unreliable. These practices may be summarized as follows :— (a) The practice of allocating interest to accounts which have not earned it (see comment headed " Interest on Public Account Cash Balance Investments," on page x hereof). (/*) The practice of charging cost of remittances to London against accounts which did not require to make any remittances (see comment on this subject on page xii hereof). (c) The method adopted for fixing rates of interest on loans between Government accounts (see comment on this subject on page xv hereof). For the year 1928 29 the Treasury was able, for the first time since the inception of departmental balance-sheets, to publish an unaudited Preliminary State Balance-sheel as a foundation for the compilation of future State Balance-sheets. For the year 1929-30 an audited amalgamated State Balance-sheet was presented to Parliament. It would not be possible to present a complete review of all the various departmental accounts which have come before Audit within the limits of this report, and I have accordingly selected for comment the accounts of the Departments of Agriculture and Health, as being fairly representative of all Departments, and also the State Balance-sheet, which appears in the audited list for the first time Agriculture Department. In 1921 the Department of Agriculture published a General Revenue Account and Balance-sheet which was not audited. No accounts were published showing the results of the operations of the subsidiary schemes of the Department. At this stage the system of book-keeping in the Departmeni was very incomplete, the accounts being roughly compiled at the end of the year. Accounts on similar lines were prepared for the year ended 31s1 March, 1922, and submitted for audit, luit owing to the incomplete nature of the accounts they were not certified by Audit or published. For the next year an audited General Revenue Account and Balance-sheet were published. together with separate accounts for the Kuakura Farm of Instruction. For the year ended 31st March, L 924, separate farm working and profil and loss accounts were published for every farm and station operated by the Department, the balances being incorporated in the General Revenue Account. As the Ruakura Farm accounts were not audited, they were not published. For each subsequent year there have been published complete accounts for everj undertaking of the Department, the General Revenue Account being tabulated to show the cost of the Head Office and the four Divisions of the Department. The accounts of the bigger farms, such as Ruakura, are prepared at the farms, which are treate in the Head Office books as branches. In the case of the smaller farms and stations the total cash transactions are recorded in the Head Office books and the farm working and profit and loss accounts are made up in the Head Office from detailed information supplied by the institutions concerned. Farm Managers are required to report to the Head Office giving explanations as to the accounts and the reason for any undue fluctuation in the results of the different years' operations. The method of recording and classifying the expenditure is one of the most complete in the Service, the matter of capital expenditure and the recording of assets being on particularly sound and thorough lines. The accounts now enable each year's income and expenditure to be analysed and contrasted with previous years, and should greatly assist the Department.

Department of Health. The first accounts published by this Department for the year ended 31st March, 1921, were unaudited, and comprised a General Revenue Account and Balance-sheet. There was no complete system of book-keeping, and the accounts for thai and the following year were produced under great difficulties and did not accurately represent the result of the Department's operations. An improved system of accounts was installed during the financial year ended 31st March, 1922, and for the following year audited accounts for each of the Department's institutions, together with General Revenue Account and Balance-sheet, were published. For the succeeding years, farm working accounts have been produced for each farm run in conjunction with the different institutions, and tabular institutional income and expenditure accounts have been published. Improvements in the nut hods of dealing with the accounts were gradually made with a view to providing fuller and more accurate in f< intuition as to the cost of different undertakings of the Department. The accounts are now sufficiently advanced to enable comparisons to be made between costs at the various similar institutions, although I am not aware if full use has been made of the information available. There are many factors which tend to make comparisons of cost of treatment in hospitals difficult, but there are certain linef on \\ hich some degree of comparison may be made ; for instance, the average cost of provisions per bed in different St. Helens Hospitals for the last year under review varied from £54 3s. at Dunedin to £77 at Wanganui. State Balance-sheet. A purpose which has been steadily kept in view from the date of the inception of commercial departmental accounting has been realized, and to accomplish this result a great amount of work was necessary in the Treasury. The whole of the public debt had to be accounted for, and, while the loan liability of each special account was known, there was still left a large amount of debt which did not definitely belong to any particular Department or account. The greatest portion of this represented loans raised and paid into the Public Works Fund, General Purposes Account, and expended on behalf of numerous other Departments. The Treasury made an allocation of these loans outstanding, apportioning a share to each Department holding assets created from the Public Works Fund. In view of the great difficulties the Treasury had to contend with, this allocation, although of an arbitrary nature in some cases, may be considered fair and reasonable. It was also necessary to balance the total cash receipts and payments of the Public Account with the cash statements of the Departments. This in itself required very considerable care, as all Public Account cash is not recorded under the names of the separate Departments, but appears under numerous headings, each affecting many, or all, Departments. A great deal of work was also entailed in clearing up inter-departmental and inter-account items in order that the asset? or liabilities should not be overstated through debts of one account to another being included twice as assets and liabilities in the amalgamated balance-sheet. As each account has dealings with practically all the others, and some of them are rather involved, it will be readily understood that this thinning-out by offsetting debits and credits required much care and attention. There were, in addition, some assets and liabilities which belong to no particular account, but every precaution was taken to see that these were not omitted. In order that the full amount of the public debt outstanding should be shown, it was found necessary to raise nominal assets for the amount of loans outstanding in respect of which no tangible asset now exists. A footnote to this effect is appended to the balance-sheet. The balance-sheet was produced by amalgamating the audited departmental balance-sheets, with the addition of the general assets and liabilities previously mentioned. It is. I understand, intended by the Treasury, in the near future, to open a central set of books in which will be recorded all general assets and liabilities, and appropriate accounts for all subsidiary departmental accounts will be shown. In concluding my comments on the departmental accounts I would specially draw attention to the fact that the preparation of accounts on commercial lines is of itself of little benefit if the figures from year to year are not carefully studied, analysed, and compared. The building-up of the system has entailed considerable expense to the Government, and the system can only be maintained at an annual outlay. It is therefore incumbent on Departments to study the results with a view to economy in administration, and so derive the fullest benefit from the expenditure. Audit of Government Property and Stores. The audit of Government stores does not merely comprise the checking of the receipt of the stores and of the amount of cash paid for them. The mere checking of the purchase, receipt, and payment for Government stores is quite straightforward and simple. It is in the subsequent application of the stores to the purposes for which they have been purchased that the difficulties of audit are experienced. The systematic audit of Government stores was not introduced in New Zealand till the year 1920, and at the outset considerable difficulties were experienced in introducing proper accounting methods into Departments.

Each individual Department, has been required by the Treasury to prepare stores rules for the guidance of its officers. These departmental rules are submitted to audit before they are finally printed, and thereafter the Audit Inspectors have the duty of seeing that the rules are being properly observed. The only important Department which has not yet completed the revision of its stores rules is the Railways Department. The reorganization of the stores system in such a large Department must necessarily take time, and I am pleased to say that a very complete and efficient set of rules is in course of preparation and will be submitted for Audit review shortly. Stores may b< , classed into two main categories — (a) consumable, (b) non-consumable. The audit of consumable stores is especially difficult, as there is necessarily little, if any, trace left of them after use to guide the auditor. It is here that misappropriation can so easily take place, unless the system of check is very strict and very carefully observed. In one instance it was found that in order to account for valuable stores which had been misappropriated fictitious vouchers purporting to account for their use had been passed through the office. With regard to non-consumable stores, the same difficulties do not arise as in the case of consumable stores, but here again it has been ascertained in the course of Audit inspections that non-consumable stores have mysteriously disappeared at times and have subsequently been written off by the responsible officers of the Department without due inquiry. It may be said in general terms that the difficulties of the Audit Department in its endeavours to check abuses in the handling of store are chiefly centred in the period after their issue for use. lam pleased to say that Audit officers now receive from all the Departments the fullest support and co-operation in their endeavour to save loss and expense to the Dominion through careless control over Government stores. In the course of the Audit inspection of departmental accounts it was ascertained by the Inspector that the account sales received for certain Government produce submitted to a well-known firm of auctioneers for sale did not appear to represent the current market values of the produce sold. It seems that the goods, instead of being offered to the public at auction, were "bought in - ' by the firm, and then disposed of by the firm. This led to an investigation by the police, in conjunction with the Audit officer, with consequent Supreme Court action. After very lengthy and expensive litigation the jury failed to agree on the major charge, and a new hearing was ordered. The Audit Office does not, however, consider that the expense of continuing the action in the Supreme Court would be justified, and will proceed by civil action to recover the amount of profit and commission which it considers should have been paid to the Government.

Audit of Accounts of Local Authorities. I am pleased to state thai the position disclosed in my last report regarding the work of auditing the accounts of local authorities has been well maintained during the pasi pear. The duties of the Audit inspecting staff increase progressively with the development of the local authorities' districts, and, in addition, the work has recently been added to by the necessity for undertaking the auditing of expenditure on works carried oui by local authorities under the unemployed-relief sche es. Local Authorities' Finance. Local authorities are required by law to provide for their ordinary obligations in each year out of the revenue of that year, ami their power of borrowing on overdraft or temporary loan is limited at the end of the year by the amount of revenue outstanding at that date.

During the past year there were no less than thirty-six instances where the above-mentioned statutory requirements were not complied with, and in each case the local body concerned was required to take immediate measures to rectify the position. The accounts of local authorities disclose the fact that in the past a rigid budgetary control of expenditure has not as a rule been characteristic of local bodies' finance, and at a time when the exercise of economy is essential it is nei inappropriate to draw attention to the necessity for local bodies to carefully review their estimates from time to time during the currency of a year for the purpose of ensuring that their expenditure is kept strictly within the statutory limits. Machinery and Plant Working Accounts and Renewal Funds. —Another breach of statutory provisions which during the past year was noted in the accounts of twenty-two local bodies was the setting-up of machinery and plant working accounts. The desirability of maintaining these accounts is admitted, but in the present state of the law local authorities have no power to set up such accounts or to create machinery and plant-renewal funds, other than in connection with statutory trading undertakings and certain public works of municipalities. No difficulty should be placed in the way of a local authority which wishes to conduct its finance on sound commercial lines, and the question of conferring a general statutory power on local authorities to set up such accounts and create such funds is one which should be considered. Stores Systems. —Progress continues to be made in the direction of the instituting of stores systems in the accounts of local authorities. Many local authorities, however, still fail to realize that stores and stocks represent money requiring to be accounted for in the same way as money itself, and that the absence of an adequate stores system leaves open the door to extensive misappropriation of the ratepayers' money. It is desirable, therefore, that the keeping of stores records by the responsible officials of local authorities should be made compulsory by statute. Disqualifications. —Nine members of local bodies were automatically disqualified during the past year for trading with the local body of which they were members to an extent in excess of the. statutory limits. One of the difficulties which has to be contended with in administering the law relating to local authorities' accounts is the varying statutory provisions defining the conditions which constitute disqualification of members of the different local authorities. The inclusion in some general Act of a provision for uniform conditions constituting disqualification would be of assistance to the Audit Office and of benefit to the local authorities. Under the existing law, members of some local bodies would be disqualified for acts which, if committed by members of other local bodies, would not cause disqualification. Defalcations. —Ten instances where the funds of local authorities had been misappropriated by employees were reported during the past year by Audit Inspectors, and in each instance the defaulter was dealt with by Criminal Court action. The largest sum misappropriated by any one official in the ten cases mentioned was approximately £1,800. Breaches of Statute. —The breaches of statute by local-body members and officers, which the Audit Office was required to deal with during the past year, are detailed in Schedule A below.

The Public Accounts of the Dominion, and particularly the statements relating to the public debt, are rendered more complicated than is necessary by the fact that there are many loan authorities or authorizing Acts for each account tor which loans are raised. In one case over forty loan Acts have from time to time been passed for the one account, and, as there are usually a number of loans bearing different dates of maturity and different rates of interest raised under each Act. the amount of detail in the accounts cm lie readily understood. In the opinion of Audit there is no need for more than one loan authority for each account —that is to say, for each particular purpose —and if arrangements could be made to consolidate the loan authorities which have been passed, so that there would be only the one consolidated authority for each account, a very large amount of detail could be dispensed with, and great advantage from the point of view of efficiency, simplicity, and economy would result. As regards future legislation providing for the raising of additional loans. I would suggest that, instead uf passing a new authorizing Act when the original authority lias been exhausted, an amendment of the principal Act extending tin; amount originally authorized might be passed. This matter has been discussed with the Treasury, and, in view of the pressing need for economy at the present time. I would suggest that steps be taken to introduce legislation to enable the loan authorities to be consolidated. It has been suggested that the consolidation mighi go even further than this, and that all Govemmeni loans should be consolidated irrespective of the account for which they were raised ; but. in my opinion, this would not be desirable, as it is essential in the interests of proper accounting that the loans of each separate account should be kept distinct from the loans of other accounts.

STATEMENT OF ROYALTIES PAYABLE TO THE CKOWN AND UNPAID AT THE 31st MARCH, 1931. Section 91 (2), Public Revenues Act, 1926.

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 lor non-payment and those who have nut : — Department. Amount unpaid. Forestry— £ s. d. £ s. d.

Section 3 (3), Public Revenues Act, 1926. With reference to the writing-off of losses through the annual Appropriation Act, I have been advised by the Crown Solicitor that section 3 (3) of the Public Revenues Act, 1926, which provides that no losses of moneys or stores may be finally written off, save with the authority of Parliament, applies only to money and stores, and not to losses of real property ; and although there is no practical difference between losses in the revaluation or realization of real property and losses in the realization of money and stores, the former are apparently excluded from the provisions of this section, and will not be brought before the notice of Parliament, and no application for authority to write off will come before Audit for investigation. As there is apparently no statutory authority for the writing-off of such losses, it is advisable that section 3 (3) of the Act be amended so as to include real property. Appended is 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. STAFF. I desire to express my appreciation of the zealous attention which has been given by all members of the Audit staff to their duties during the year, and also of the willing assistance to Audit Inspectors and others which has been accorded by the various departmental staffs and also t he stall's of local bodies. Audit officers have at times in the course of their inspections to perform duties of a somewhat delicate nature, but I am pleased to say that they have at all times during the year received the fullest consideration and assistance both from Government Departments and local bodies.
