PUBLIC ACCOUNTS ' FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH, 1934.

REPORT OF THE CONTROLLER AND AUDJTOR-GENERAL.

I have the honour to submit my report for the year ended 31st March, 1934, in terms of subsections (2), (3), and (4) of section 89 of the Public Revenues Act, 1926. Paragraphs (a) to (h) of subsection (2) set out the several matters which the Controller and Auditor-General is required to include in his report to Parliament, and, in accordance with that statutory requirement, where such matters have come under the notice of or have been dealt with by the Audit Office during the year the details thereof have been included in this report under their appropriate headings. The full Statement of the Receipts and Payments of the Public Account is contained in two parliamentary papers —namely, 8.-l [Pt. I], which shows, under main headings, the receipts and payments of the funds and accounts comprising the Public Account, and also shows details of the expenditure under the annual appropriations, Civil List, and the Unauthorized Expenditure Account, and 8.-l [Pt. ll], which shows certain of the receipts and payments in greater detail than they are shown in 8.-l [Pt. I], and as the last-mentioned paper for 1933-34 has already been laid before Parliament, it is only necessary for me to present Part II in accordance with the usual practice. Instances of Non-compliance with Law. The Controller and Auditor-General is required by the Public Revenues Act to call attention to any cases where the provisions of the law have been varied or departed from, and I accordingly submit the following instances: — 1. Section 6 of the New Zealand Debt Conversion Act, 1932-33, provided that the holder of securities convertible under the Act should not be entitled to demand payment of interest on such securities, or to receive new securities, until he had surrendered the existing securities. In one case an insurance company had securities deposited abroad, and was unable to uplift them for conversion until it had replaced them with new securities. In these circumstances the Audit Office agreed to the issue of new securities in conversion before the production of the converted securities on the company giving adequate indemnity to cover the Government against possible loss. The converted securities were afterwards duly surrendered to the Treasury. 2. Under the provisions of the Banks Indemnity (Exchange) Act, 1932-33, the proceeds of exchange purchased thereunder were available only for the purposes set out in the Act, and were not available to cover the general expenditure of the Government. During the year it became desirable to use these moneys to meet general payments due by the Government in London, and a regulation was made by Order in Council dated 28th August, 1933, under section 9 of the Act, authorizing the Minister of Finance to expend such moneys on any of the services of the Government for which due authority existed. This regulation provided the necessary authority for the expenditure of these moneys for such purposes on and after the date of the Order in Council, but expenditure of this nature had already been made, and, strictly speaking, such

B.—l [Pt. ll].

expenditure was not covered by authority of law, as the Order in Council could not be made retrospective. The Audit Office, however, did not consider it necessary to raise any objection, as it was clearly in the interests of the Dominion that the exchange-moneys should be used in this manner, thus obviating further borrowing, and the breach of law was merely a technical one. 3. Section 79 of the Public Revenues Act, 1926, provides that moneys issued by bank order from the New Zealand Public Account in London shall, except in the case of charges of the public debt, be transferred to an account called the Foreign Imprest Account, and shall be deemed to be imprested to the High Commissioner. Section 84 of the Act requires that " The bank at which the New Zealand Public Account is kept shall twice in every month transmit to the Treasury and to the Audit Office a statement (in the form prescribed by the Treasury) showing the entries in the New Zealand Public Account and the Foreign Imprest Account respectively for the period to which the statement relates." The statement of the New Zealand Public Account is supplied by the bank in London, but no statement of the Foreign Imprest Account is supplied, as required by law. The Audit Office has on several occasions pointed out this omission, but nothing has been done to remedy the breach of law. The Audit Office would suggest that either the bank be required to supply the statement in accordance with the requirement of the Act, or the Act be amended to relieve the bank of the obligation to supply a statement of the Foreign Imprest Account. 4. In the year 1928 it came under the notice of the Audit Office that an imprest account was being kept in London, known as the Finance Officer's Imprest Account, and it was pointed out to the Treasury that the keeping of such an account was without authority of law. In view of the defalcations which took place in connection with this account it is suggested, although it is not anticipated that further defalcations in the account are likely to occur, that the Finance Officer's Imprest Account should either be provided for by law, and proper safeguards imposed, or the account should be discontinued altogether. 5. It has also come under notice that another account is kept in London, known as the High Commissioner's Deposit Account, which is not authorized by law. This account is used for the receipt and payment of moneys by the High Commissioner in London on behalf of persons or bodies domiciled in New Zealand. In New Zealand similar transactions are dealt with as public moneys and passed through the Public Account, as required by sections 26 and 32 of the Public Revenues Act, 1926. It would seem that, these sections also apply to the moneys received in London and that to pass them through the High Commissioner's Deposit Account, instead of through the Public Account in London, is contrary to law. It is suggested, therefore, that such moneys should be dealt with through the Public Account in London in the same manner as is done in New Zealand, or, failing this, that the keeping of the High Commissioner's Deposit Account be authorized by law. 6. The normal method of issuing moneys from the Public Account is by means of a bank order signed by the Paymaster-General and countersigned by the Controller and Auditor-General, but section 82 of the Public Revenues Act, 1926, provides that for certain limited purposes as set out therein, moneys may be issued out of the New Zealand Public Account in London before the bank order for the issue of the money for such payments has been received in England, by means of an order known as a " Commissioners' order," signed by the Commissioners in London and countersigned by the Audit Officer in London. In some cases during the year Commissioners' orders were issued for purposes which were not covered by section 82, and such issues were therefore made contrary to law. On the matter coming under the notice of the Audit Office, the attention of the Treasury was called to the position, and steps were taken to ensure that Commissioners' orders would not be issued, except when such issue was in accordance with law. The payments in question were in themselves perfectly legal and proper, and it was only the method of payment which was open to question as being technically contrary to law, and no further action appears necessary in connection therewith. 7. Section 102 of the above Act requires that all securities in which public moneys are invested shall be held by tne Custodians of public securities. An exceptionally large amount of investment securities was held in London as a result of the investment of exchange-moneys and loan-moneys, and it was thought desirable to lodge certain of these securities with the Bank of New Zealand for safe keeping, instead of with the Custodians appointed under the Public Revenues Act. It was later decided to place certain of such securities in the custody of the Bank of England under similar circumstances. The Audit Office concurred in the desirability of placing such securities in the custody of the banks, instead of in the custody of the Custodians as required by law, and therefore raised no objection to the procedure followed. 8. In my report for the year 1931-32, 8.-I [Pt. ll], page xxviii, attention was drawn to the illegality of the use of " Disbursement Accounts" In connection with the Public Account, the Government Accident Insurance Account, the Government Insurance Account, and the State Fire Insurance Account, and it was indicated that the matter could be put in order by the introduction of suitable legislation. The suggested legislation has, however, not been introduced. The position remains as it was when attention was drawn to the matter, and the use of disbursement accounts in conjunction with the accounts mentioned above still continues, although not provided for by law. As it is proposed shortly to remove the Public Account Disbursement Account from the Bank of New Zealand to the Reserve Bank, it would be advisable to provide statutory authority for the existence of that account. Advantage could be taken of the introduction of such legislation to give legislative authority also for the keeping of the other disbursement accounts referred to herein.

Repayment of 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, 1934 : —•

It will be seen that an annual saving of interest amounting to £137,436 17s. 9d. has now been effected by the operation of the Act. The following figures show how this saving increases year by year as the cumulative effect of the sinking fund becomes apparent:— Annual saving in interest on securities redeemed to £ s . a. 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 31st March, 1932 .. .. .. .. .. .. 90,816 3 3 31st March, 1933 .. .. .. .. .. .. 109,236 2 3 31st March, 1934 .. .. .. .. .. .. 137,436 17 9 Of the £1,776,270 securities paid off during the year, £1,180,000 consisted of Treasury bills under the Banks Indemnity (Exchange) Act, 1932-33. These bills represented short-term or " floating " debt, and the corresponding amount of sterling purchased from the proceeds of the Bills was held in London and had been credited to the Ordinary Revenue Account. The effect of redeeming these bills from the Public Debt Repayment Account was to free this credit in the Ordinary Revenue Account for general revenue purposes, as the charge against such credit represented by the Treasury bills no longer remained—that is, the result has been to restore to the Ordinary Revenue Account an amount approximately equal to the £1,180,000 expended from the Repayment of the Public Debt Account in redeeming the bills, so that the annual contribution from the Consolidated Fund to the Public Debt Repayment Account has not in effect been made to the extent of approximately £1,180,000. The following statement shows the amount of loans subject to the repayment of the Public Debt Act, 1925, and of those not subject to the Act, as at 31st March, 1934 :— £ s. d. Debt subject to the Repayment of the Public Debt Act, 1925 .. .. .. 226,543,393 1 3 Debt not subject to the Repayment of the Public Debt Act, 1925 — Exempted under section 2 of the Act — £ s.- d.

Increase and Decrease of the Debt. The public debt accounts disclose a net increase in the public debt for the year of £21,969,038 Bs. 6d., some of which, however, was of a temporary nature only. This was made up as follows : — £ s. d.

The amount of such loans outstanding as at the 31st March, 1934, was £4,213,050. It is also to be noted that most of the Treasury bills under the Banks Indemnity (Exchange) Act, 1932-33, have been paid off since 31st March last, so that the increase due to the issue of these bills was a temporary one only.

At the 31st March, 1934, a sum of £414,500 9s. 6d., appropriated for the redemption of loans, was lying at credit of Loans Redemption Account, particulars being as follow : — Finance Act, 1925, section 13 — Amount received in respect of war expenses to be applied in redemption of £ s. d. war loans .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 19,616 12 5 Public Revenues Act, 1926, section 135 (2) — Amount received on account of New Zealand's share of German reparations 2,112 3 11 Finance Act, 1932, section 12 — Balance of Mining Advances Account transferred to Loans Redemption Account for redemption of securities .. . . .. .. 0 5 1 Finance Act, 1932, section 13 — Balance of Nauru and Ocean Islands Account transferred to Loans Redemption Account for redemption of securities .. .. .. .. 2,987 18 9 Balance of Nauru and Ocean Islands Sinking Fund Account transferred to Loans Redemption Account for redemption of securities .. .. 65 4 5 Amount received from British Phosphate Commission for redemption of Nauru and Ocean Islands securities in terms of section 13 (4) of the Finance Act, 1932 .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 26,278 311 Public Revenues Act, 1926, section 135 (4) — Amount transferred from Main Highways Account (Revenue Fund) for redemption of main-highways loans .. .. .. .. 333,640 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) .. .. .. 28,000 1 0 Amount received from State Advances Account for redemption of securities 1,000 0 0 New Zealand Loans Act, 1932, section 14 — Loans raised for redemption of securities : Electric Supply Account .. 800 0 0 £414,500 9 6 New Zealand Debt Conversion Act, 1932-33. The transactions under the above Act were completed during the year, except in cases in which the holders of debentures did not present their securities for conversion, and, as a consequence, the Treasury was unable to issue the new securities. Such cases were, however, comparatively few in number. An exceedingly large amount of detail audit work was involved in the conversion, and many complicated questions arose in connection therewith, but these were satisfactorily settled after conferring with the Treasury. After the commencement of the conversion operations the Government decided to exempt from the operation of the Act a number of the securities which were subject to the Act, particularly in the case of securities held by Government Departments, and to convert these and other securities on terms differing from those fixed by the Act. To enable this to be done, statutory authority was taken in section 2 of the Finance Act, 1933 (No. 2). Most of the entries in connection with the conversion were passed through the Loans Redemption Account—Part 11, Conversion Account, but some of the entries were passed through the Ordinary Revenue Account of the Consolidated Fund. The particulars of the transactions effected to 31st March, 1934, may be briefly set out as follow : — Loans Redemption Account: Part 11, Conversion Account — Old securities converted — New Zealand Debt Conversion Act, 1932-33 — £ s. d. £ s. d.

Of this, £23,832 3s. sd. was paid in cash from the Ordinary Revenue Account and treated as costs of the conversion. Against this latter amount was set off £16,319 7s. Bd. received in cash to bring premiums up to a multiple of £5. This £16,319 7s. Bd. represented additional loan-moneys received, but, instead of being added to the public debt, was applied towards meeting the amount of premiums paid in cash, thus reducing the costs of conversion. The difference between the £23,832 3s. sd. and the £16,319 7s. Bd.—namely, £7,512 15s. 9d. —plus unpresented premium warrants, £135 135., gives £7,648 Bs. 9d., and this amount deducted from the premiums of £498,902 17s. 3d. gives £491,254 Bs. 6d., which was the amount of premiums for which new securities were issued and by which the public debt was increased. The net costs of conversion, amounting to £22,167 Bs. 4d., were not added to the public debt, but were borne by the Ordinary Revenue Account, and the separate loan accounts were correspondingly relieved of this amount of additional liability at the expense of the Consolidated Fund. The departmental accounts and balance-sheets relating to such separate accounts will thus in future show a more favourable position than would be the case if the separate accounts had been charged with the full costs resulting from the conversion of their loans. The New Zealand Debt Conversion Act, 1932-33, applied to all existing bonds, debentures, or stock charged upon the public revenues of New Zealand if domiciled in New Zealand and bearing interest at a rate of over 4 per cent, per annum, and, read together with the Finance Act, 1932-33, required the reduction of interest on all such securities by 20 per cent, (but so as not to bring the rate of interest below 4 per cent, or in the case of securities free of income-tax below 3| per cent.) or by 33| per cent, in the case of " dissented " securities, i.e., securities held by persons who signified their dissent from conversion. Further loans were, however, raised by the Government at the rate of 5 per cent, per annum under the Banks Indemnity (Exchange) Act, 1932-33, and under the Finance Act, 1931 (No. 4), section 7 (2), as amended by the Finance Act, 1932-33 (No. 2). Other securities have also escaped the statutory reduction of interest, through not being issued in the form of " bonds, debentures, or stock," and it is difficult to see why such securities should be exempted from the general reduction which has been made in the rate of interest on Government securities, merely because the security has been issued in a different form, as, for instance, in the form of a Treasury bill.

Statement showing the Result of the Transactions under the Banks Indemnity (Exchange) Act, 1932-33, from the Date of Operation of the Act to the 30th June, 1934 —continued.

At the 30th June, 1934, the amount of Treasury bills outstanding under the Banks Indemnity (Exchange) Act, 1932-33, had been reduced from £38,832,818 15s. (N.Z.) to £23,708,836 (N.Z.), bills to the amount of £15,123,982 15s. (N.Z.) haVing been redeemed. £13,943,982 15s. (N.Z.) of this amount was redeemed from the Ordinary Revenue Account partly from the proceeds of other Treasury bills issued under section 41 of the Public Revenues Act, 1926, and partly from revenue, and the remaining £1,180,000 (N.Z.) was redeemed from the Public Debt Repayment Account. Though £35,004,000 of surplus exchange-moneys purchased was credited to the Ordinary Revenue Account of the Consolidated Fund, the Abstract of the Public Account for the three months ended 30th June, 1934, shows that at that date a balance of £20,485,101 10s. lOd. only remained in that account. It will be seen, therefore, that some £14,519,000 of the credit so provided had been utilized to meet Ordinary Revenue Account charges in London and New Zealand. These figures are as extracted from the accounts, which include transactions in both sterling and New Zealand currency. The rate of interest paid in New Zealand on the Treasury bills averaged over 5 per cent., while the rate received on the funds in London averaged about 1 per cent., so that there was a loss to the Government of about 4 per cent, in,respect of these transactions. The interest paid was charged against the Ordinary Revenue Account of the Consolidated Fund, but the interest received on the London funds (which were placed on fixed deposit) was allocated between various accounts forming part of the Public Account, instead of to the Ordinary Revenue Account to which the moneys belonged. The charge against the Budget was thus unnecessarily increased. Treatment of Exchange in the Public Accounts. In my last year's report I found it necessary to comment adversely on the method of treating exchange *in the Public Accounts, and I then explained that in some transactions between New Zealand and London the figures were shown in New Zealand currency, whereas in others they were shown in sterling. It was also pointed out that in certain instances the amount of the exchange was charged against the Ordinary Revenue Account instead of against the account for which the charge was incurred. From recent statements by the Governor of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, I gather that the present high rate of exchange between New Zealand and London is likely to be maintained for a considerable period, and it follows, therefore, that the matter of correct treatment of exchange in the accounts of the Dominion is of even greater importance now than it was formerly. I therefore desire again to call attention to the fact that the practice of failing to discriminate between New Zealand currency and sterling in our accounts, and also of failing to bring the cost of exchange to charge in the proper appropriate account, still obtains. The present method of treating exchange leads to anomalies in some cases—for instance, London balances amounting to some £19,700,000 sterling were shown in the Public Accounts of New Zealand at that figure, the sterling amounts being incorporated in the New Zealand accounts without distinguishing them from amounts stated in New Zealand currency, to or from which they were added or subtracted as if they were the same thing. In the case of the Reserve Bank, however, the same balances when taken over by the Bank are shown not in sterling, but in New Zealand currency. The same asset which was shown in the Public Accounts as £19,700,000 (approximately) was shown in the first published statement of the assets and liabilities of the Reserve Bank as £24,400,000 (approximately), a difference of, roughly, £4,700,000 due to the erroneous method of treating exchange in the Public Accounts. As instances in which exchange has been charged against the Ordinary Revenue Account instead of against the appropriate account I would quote the following: — In the case of the Electric Supply Account, interest on loans was paid in London during the year to the amount of approximately £473,000 sterling. The cost of exchange on this amount, some £116,476, was, however, charged against Ordinary Revenue Account, and was not brought to charge in any way in the accounts of the electric supply undertakings, and such accounts are thus not a true record of the cost and results of the undertakings. Similarly, in the case of the State Advances Office, the amount of interest paid in London during the year was approximately £504,000 sterling. Owing to exchange the actual cost of the payment of this interest was approximately £628,110 (N.Z.) but only £504,000 was charged in the State Advances Account. The State Advances undertakings were therefore undercharged to the amount of some £124,110 and the Ordinary Revenue Account overcharged to the same extent during the year in respect of this transaction.

Owing to this method of treating exchange, the departmental accounts and balance-sheets will also fail to disclose the true position. The Audit Office does not suggest that the full cost of interest, including exchange, should actually be recovered from the accounts mentioned in cash unless or until there are revenues available to meet such cost, but is firmly of the opinion that the full cost should in all cases be brought to charge in the departmental accounts and balance-sheets, which are intended to show the position and result of the undertakings from a commercial point of view. The departmental accounts of commercial activities are also intended to give information which will enable a comparison to be made with other undertakings of a similar nature, and unless the full cost of the relative services is brought to charge such accounts will fail to fulfil one of the chief purposes for which they are drawn up, and will create a wrong impression as to the cost of such undertakings. Discrepancies between the Public Accounts as published and the Treasury Books. The Controller and Auditor-General is required by the Public Revenues Act to bring under the notice of Parliament any discrepancies which may exist between the Treasury books and the published accounts, and, although I have on previous occasions called attention to this matter, I propose again to submit in greater detail my reasons for urging a$ alteration in the method of placing the accounts before Parliament and the public. I would like to make it clear that in making these comments the Audit Office in no way raises, nor has it ever raised, any objections to the actual transactions themselves, which are quite legitimate and in accordance with iaw, and have been subjected to Audit investigation and duly passed as in order ; it objects only to the method of recording these transactions in the published accounts, which it considers is inaccurate and misleading to Parliament and the public : — 1. In this paragraph I refer to cases where an amount has been advanced or invested from one subaccount to another sub-account within the Public Account. In these cases the amount is correctly entered in the Treasury books as a payment in the sub-account from which the moneys are paid, and as a receipt in the sub-account by which the moneys are received, but in the published accounts the amount is not shown as a payment in the sub-account from which the moneys are paid, though the amount is shown as a receipt in the other sub-account,. The result is to inflate the total balances as shown in the published accounts, for the reason that the total balance of the investing sub-account, is not shown as reduced while the total balance of the borrowing sub-account is shown as increased. Such transactions are entirely within the Public Account, and it is clear that a simple transfer from one sub-account within the Public Account to another sub-account within the Public Account cannot increase the total balance of the Public Account. The method of showing such transactions in the published accounts, however, makes it appear that the total balances of the Public Account have been so increased, though, in fact, they have not been increased. This system is followed in. the case of temporary advances of cash from one sub-account to another when no securities are issued, as well as in the case of long-term loans where securities for the repayment of the cash invested are issued by the borrowing sub-account. The existence or otherwise of a security makes no difference in the result. In order to exemplify my meaning I will take an actual transaction from the accounts. A and B are two sub-accounts within the Public Account. A has £217 -cash in hand; B has £1,960,540 cash: total of both sub-accounts is £1,960,757. B transferred to A £10,000 which obviously reduced B's balance by that sum and increased A's balance correspondingly. In the accounts as published, however, B's balance still remains at £1,960,540, whilst A's is increased to £10,217, and the corresponding total of the two sub-accounts is shown as having been increased to £1,970,757, whereas in reality no increase took place in the total. Hitherto it has been the practice to incorporate in the published accounts an " Explanatory Statement of Investments," showing the corresponding liabilities of the borrowing sub-accounts with a view to mitigating to a certain extent the misleading effects of the system followed, but owing to the changed method of recording loan transactions which has been introduced in the Treasury the information necessary to compile such explanatory statement is no longer available, and the statement has accordingly been omitted. 2. I refer in this paragraph to cases where moneys have been lent by the Public Account to borrowers not within the Public Account. These loans, although correctly recorded as payments out of the Public Account in the Treasury books, are not shown as payments in the published statement of Receipts and Payments of the Public Account. There is therefore a discrepancy between the Treasury books and the published accounts. 3. Further cases in which the position as stated in the published accounts is misleading, arise from the method of treating investments made under the authority of section 39 (2) of the Public Revenues Act, 1926. Under this method moneys issued and paid from the Public Account by way of investment are charged or debited to a suspense account known as the " Public Account Cash Balance Investment Account," and are not debited to the particular sub-accounts to which the invested moneys belong. The result is that the individual sub-accounts show a much larger cash balance than is actually held, the cash having, in fact, been paid from the Public Account, but not so shown. ' For example, in 8.-l [Pt. I], 1934, page 9, under the Ordinary Revenue Account, it is shown that at the end of the year this account had a cash balance of £14,740,102. Actually the total cash in the whole of the Public Account (of which the Ordinary Revenue Account is merely a part) is shown as £503,893 only. The entry in the account, as set out above therefore gives an erroneous impression. In actual fact, nearly the whole of the £14,740,102 cash had been paid away by way of investment, and was held by the institutions with which the investments had been made, and therefore was not available cash in the hands of the New Zealand Government. It could become available cash from the point of view of the Government accounts only when the investments had been realized. 4. Audit has suggested that if the Treasury specially desires to show the investments of the various accounts they should be shown in a very simple subsidiary statement or footnote to each account, but this suggestion has not been adopted.

Changes in the Form of the Pubiic Accounts. Two important changes in the form of the Public Accounts have taken place during the last two years which appear to call for comment. 1. The Statement of the Disbursements of the Consolidated Fund in respect of Interest on Public Debt, which appears in 8.-l [Pt. ll], has been much condensed, and now does not contain any reference to the accounts in respect of which the interest on the loans was paid, nor to the Acts authorizing such loans, nor to the amount of the loans on which the interest was paid. The statement in its new form does not disclose the amount of interest paid on Treasury bills issued under the Banks Indemnity (Exchange) Act, 1932-33, or on ordinary Treasury bills issued to supplement revenue, or, in fact, on the loans of any particular account. 2. The Statement showing the Balances and Summary of Transactions of the Accounts relating to the Public Debt, which has for many years been published in 8.-l [Pt. Ill], has now been omitted. All reference to the authorizing Acts under which the various loans were raised, or to fte accounts for the purposes of which such loans were raised, has also been omitted from the Statement of the Public Debt of New Zealand appearing in 8.-l [Pt. Ill], with the result that such statement does not now contain any mention of the accounts for the purposes of which such loans were raised under the authority of Parliament. 3. A " Statement as at 31st March, 1934, showing Analysis of the Public Debt under the Several Purposes for which the Moneys have been Raised " has, however, been added, but this analysis is more in the nature of a statistical statement than a statement of account, and for this reason, as well as for the reason that in many cases no definite record is now available to enable the Audit Office to determine the purposes for which the loans outstanding on 31st March, 1934, had actually been raised, Audit has not been able to verify the figures. My reason for calling attention to these matters is that it is the custom in the United Kingdom for any important alterations in the form of the Public Accounts and Estimates to be first approved by Parliament through the Public Accounts Committee in order that the proper control by Parliament should be conserved. Interest on Public Account Cash-balance Investments. A statement is appended showing the allocation of interest on cash-balance investments to the various accounts during the year 1933-34. I may here mention that, although the interest derived from these investments was earned chiefly by moneys of the Ordinary Revenue Account, the amounts have been credited to the various sub-accounts of the Public Account, thus increasing the deficit for the year. There does not appear to have been any need to invest such large sums of the Ordinary Revenue Account through the Cash Balance Investment Account ftstead of direct by the Ordinary Revenue Account itself. In this connection it is noted that though the interest derived from the investment of the general cash balance of the Public Account has been allocated to the various accounts which comprise the Public Account, the interest received on daily balances of the current account of the Public Account held by the Bank of New Zealand has not been so allocated, but the whole of such interest has been credited to the Ordinary Revenue Account.

Post-audit System. Owing to the post-audit system provided for under the Public Revenues Act, 1926, and to the requirement in the same Act that the abstract of the revenue and expenditure of the Public Account shall be certified within a fixed period, it is impossible for all the vouchers for the year to be audited, or even in some cases submitted for audit, until after the abstract has been certified. My certificate is therefore given subject to the final audit of such vouchers. A record is, however, kept of the vouchers for all expenditure appearing in the abstract, and the Treasury is not given a final clearance until all vouchers have been passed. On the 10th August, 1934, a final clearance had not been given for sums amounting to £109,418 12s. 3d. for the year ended 31st March, 1933, and to £9,054,572 12s. 6d. for the year ended 31st March, 1934. The whole of the £109,418 12s. 3d. had been submitted to audit, but had been referred back to Departments for further information or for authorities to support the expenditure, or for adjustments found necessary in the course of audit. A considerable proportion of the £9,054,572 12s. 6d. was in a similar position, while the remainder was under audit. There must of necessity each year be a certain amount of overlapping, but, of course, the whole of this expenditure will ultimately come under Audit review. Expenditure not Submitted for Audit. Payments totalling approximately £21,942 have been made during the year by the High Commissioner under the Finance Act, 1928, section 20, which provides that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Public Revenues Act, 1926, the High Commissioner, without further appropriation than this section, may make payments from the Foreign Imprest Account — (a) On behalf of any of the accounts outside the Public Account to which Part X of that Act applies : (b) For such other services not chargeable to the. Public Account as the Treasury may from time to time approve or authorize, either generally or with reference to any particular case. The vouchers for these payments have not been submitted to the Audit Office for appropriation audit in Wellington, as is customary with other vouchers, and the payments are not included in the Abstract of the Revenue and Expenditure of the Public Account. Delay in Publication of the Annual Accounts. In connection with the publication of the accounts showing the surplus or deficit for last financial year there has been some comment on the delay which is stated to take place in New Zealand as compared with the United Kingdom, and it appears desirable to set out the actual position. It has been stated that the delay is due to the " pre-audit " system obtaining in New Zealand, but, as a matter of fact, the system in New Zealand is, generally speaking, " post-audit," as is the case in the United Kingdom. The only transactions which are subject to pre-audit in New Zealand are those effected by transfer (comprising chiefly adjustments between different Government Departments or Accounts), and certain other transactions the pre-audit of which is specially provided for by Treasury regulation. The chief difference between the British and New Zealand systems which affects the question of delay is that in Britain the surplus or deficit for the year is based on the whole of the accounts comprised in the Exchequer, which corresponds with the Public Account in New Zealand, whilst in New Zealand the surplus or deficit is based on the Ordinary Revenue Account only, which is merely part of the Exchequer (or Public Account). This difference largely arises from the different conditions applying in New Zealand and the resulting policy of borrowing for many different services, for which separate accounts are kept. When all the transactions of the year are comprised in the one account the balance of which represents the surplus or deficit for the year as in England it is possible to ascertain the approximate surplus or deficit in a few hours, but when the transactions relate to different accounts as in New Zealand, and only one of these (Ordinary Revenue Account) is used as a basis for determining the surplus or deficit, it is necessary to allocate all the transactions to the various accounts before the position of the Ordinary Revenue Account can be ascertained. Another matter contributing to the delay is the method of treating imprests outstanding. In the United Kingdom imprests outstanding are treated as expenditure for the purpose of ascertaining the Budget surplus or deficit, whether or not the imprests are actually accounted for at the end of the year, while in New Zealand they are treated as balances in hand. As all imprestees in New Zealand are required to repay to the Public Account any cash balances of imprest moneys held by them at 31st March, it is clear that the amount of imprests not so repaid must represent actual expenditure, and that the treatment of such outstandings as balances in hand is contrary to fact and unduly reduces the amount of expenditure shown in the public accounts. The British system is, therefore, the more correct one. This factor of imprests outstanding actually leads to considerable delay in the production of the annual accounts. Section 87 (2) of the Public Revenues Act, 1926, requires that payments by imprestees " shall be deemed to be made on the day on which the accounts of the same are received at the Treasury." If this requirement of the law were carried out, all imprestees' vouchers received in the Treasury subsequently to 31st March would be omitted from the accounts, and included in hte

XII

B.—l [Pt. Ilj.

accounts for the following year. The Treasury, however, in an endeavour to reduce as far as possible the amount of imprests shown as outstanding, although contrary to the statutory requirement already quoted, keeps its books open for a considerable period after the 31st March, and brings into account imprestees' vouchers received after that date. Were it to close its books on the 31st March in accordance with the Act the accounts could be finalized at an earlier date. Another factor which causes undue delay is the fact that transfers and other transactions which could be dealt with earlier in the year are held over by Departments until near or after the end of the year. The consequent rush of work in Treasury and Audit at the end of a year causes delay which could largely be avoided by more timely action on the part of other Departments. It is impossible for the Departments of Treasury and Audit, through which all transactions must pass, to deal expeditiously with the extra flow of vouchers coming in from the various Executive Departments. It not infrequently happens that the transactions so held over are those which are doubtful and open to question, and to which more time must be devoted by Treasury and Audit, and this tends to add to the delay caused by the extra volume of work. Generally speaking, it can be stated that, apart from the ascertainment of the approximate surplus or deficit for the year, the public accounts in New Zealand are made available for publica tion at least as expeditiously as in the United Kingdom. New Zealand Silver Coinage. During the year steps were taken to replace the British silver coin which has for many years been recognized as legal currency in New Zealand, and the Australian silver coin which has in recent years also been in circulation in New Zealand though apparently it was not legal tender in the Dominion. Under the authority of section 8 of the Finance Act, 1932-33 (No. 2), and of the Coinage Act, 1933, arrangements were made under which the Royal Mint agreed to re-mint free of charge the Imperial and Australian coin circulating in the Dominion, replacing it with New Zealand coin of distinctive design, and to allow the New Zealand Government the bullion value of the coin not used in making such replacement. The transactions have been recorded in the Silver and Bronze Coin Account, which was formerly used to record the importation by the Government of British silver and bronze coin on behalf of the banks. In recording the transactions the Treasury has shown the nominal value as well as the cash transactions. This has afforded valuable information, which would not have been available had only the cash entries been shown owing to the fact that the bulk of the transactions are being carried out on a bullion or barter basis. The transactions were not complete at the end of the year, and the result of the replacement will not be disclosed until all the relative entries have been brought into account. It was at one time estimated that the profit arising to the New Zealand Government from the reeoinage on this basis would be in the neighbourhood of £180,000, but this will depend on the amount of coin actually replaced, and the relative fineness of such coin. The profit arises from the fact that the Australian coinage and a proportion of the British coinage hitherto in circulation in New Zealand contained a larger proportion of silver than is required in the new coin under the standard set out in the Schedule to the Coinage Act, 1933, which is also the standard governing the present production of Imperial silver coin. A much larger profit would have been obtained had the New Zealand Government been able to arrange to repatriate the whole of the Imperial and Australian coin circulating in New Zealand at its face value (which was the value at which New Zealand actually purchased such coin) instead of receiving merely the recoined silver without cost, plus the bullion value of the surplus not required for such reeoinage, as actually arranged. The cost of producing new silver coin of the standard fineness depends largely on the price of silver, but at the average price ruling at the present time would be about 4s. for each £1 of silver coin minted. This would have given a profit in the neighbourhood of £750,000 for each £1,000,000 of new coin, after allowing for freight and other costs. If arrangements could have been made to repatriate at its face value, the surplus coin over and above what was required for re-minting, a much greater profit would have accrued to New Zealand than will actually be obtained under the arrangement with the Royal Mint. The Commonwealth Government has, I understand, however, agreed to repatriate a small proportion of the Australian coin circulating in New Zealand at its face value, thus giving New Zealand the full benefit of that repatriated portion. The profit on the original coinage now withdrawn accrued to the Royal Mint and the Commonwealth Government, so that the New Zealand Government now receives only the difference between the value of the silver content in the new and old coins, but in the case of any additional coinage being necessary to cover future increases in silver currency in the Dominion it is understood the New Zealand Government will receive the profit. In the case of Imperial coinage the Mint undertakes the replacement of the coin when worn, and this must be set off against the immediate profit to the Mint in minting that coin. In the case of New Zealand coinage the immediate profit which will be obtained by the Dominion from the reeoinage is comparatively small, and if the renewal of this coin from time to time when worn is undertaken by the Dominion, it seems possible that an eventual loss and not a profit may arise in relation thereto. In this connection it is to be noted that the Royal Mint and the Commonwealth Government have been relieved of any liability for the further replacements of the Imperial and Australian coin which has circulated in New Zealand, and which has been re-minted for the New Zealand Government, and nearly the full profit arising from the original minting of this coin has thus been assured to them. Reports from other countries which have replaced Imperial silver coinage with a domestic silver currency —for example, South Africa —indicate that the whole or a considerable proportion of the Imperial coin was repatriated at its face value, thus ensuring a large profit to the country making the change.

Departmental Accounts and Balance-sheets. The accounts and balance-sheets for the year 1932-33 of all Departments have been submitted to and examined by the Audit Office. The examination showed that the systems of accounting and internal check have been well maintained throughout the year. As in previous years, I have selected for comment the accounts of two Departments —this year the Marine, and Printing and Stationery Departments. Marine Department. For the year ended 31st March, 1921, an Income and Expenditure Account and Balance-sheet were compiled and published unaudited. The following year the accounts prepared were on lines similar to those of the previous year, with the addition of a separate subsidiary Profit and Loss Account for advances under the Fishing Industry Promotion Act, 1919. These accounts were audited. During the year 1922-23 the control of the Fishing Industry Promotion Advances passed to the State Advances Department. Separate Trading and Profit and Loss Accounts for the sale of oysters were then prepared and published. There was no further change in the form of the accounts until the year ended 31st March, 1930, when separate Income and Expenditure Accounts were prepared for the Head Office and each of the various branches controlling the different activities of the Department. The balance of the Head Office Account was apportioned as administration expenses amongst the branches. The following table shows the net annual results of the Department's activities during the period the accounts have been presented on an income and expenditure basis : — 1920-21. Excess of expenditure .. .. .. .. .. 111,185 1921-22. „ .. .. •• ..95,154 1922-23. „ .. ■■ •• •• •• 69,173 1923-24. „ .. .. .. 27,231 1924-25. „ .. .. •• •• •• 19,882 1925-26. „ .. .. •• •• 17,294 1926-27.

Excess of income .. .. .. .. 2,276 From 1921 to 1923 the expenditure dropped from £189,948 to £142,188, chiefly in the expenses in connection with Government steamers, while the income remained substantially the same. In 1924 there was a sharp rise in income from £73,015 the previous year to £113,269, chiefly on account of an increased scale of charges for light dues, the income from which rose from £39,689 to £76,868. From Ist April, 1926, the account benefited by the transfer of the Meteorological Branch, which cost £6,125 in the previous year, to the control of the Scientific and Industrial Research Department. The year 1928-29 showed an excess of income over expenditure of £1,476, due largely to an increase in income from royalties on whale-oil. In the year 1929-30 the net result of the Department's activities was a debit balance of £8,940 due to a heavy fall in the return of royalties on whale-oil. During the past three years there has been no whaling in New Zealand waters, and consequently no revenue from such royalties. The accounts for the year 1932-33 show a marked improvement on account of curtailed expenditure on travelling, transfer expenses, and savings by cuts in salaries and wages, and an increase in light dues. The sale of oysters and the net profit therefrom during the period for which accounts have been presented are as follows : — Season. Sales. Net Profit. £ s. d. £ s. d. 1922 .. .. .. .. 7,702 9 6 2,546 9 6 1923 .. .. .. ■■ 7,355 17 6 2,310 19 9 1924 .. .. 8,395 9 3 2,139 10 1 1925 .. .. 10,205 5 0 2,517 3 11 1926 .. .. .. .. .. 8,344 10 0 1,347 11 7 1927 .. .. .. .. ■■ 7,314 11 0 1,003 11 0 1928 .. .. .. .. 6,931 4 6 1,160 0 11 1929 .. .. .. .. •• 7,698 0 9 1,850 3 4 1930 .. .. .. .. 6,431 13 8 1,392 6 3 1931 .. .. .. .. ■■ 5,430 8 5 839 610 Loss: 1932 .. .. .. .. .. 5,083 17 5 119 15 0 The reason for the loss in the season 1932 is that an amount of £941, being part of the cost of cultivation of oysters, was charged against the account for the first time.

Printing and Stationery Department. The operations of this Department, cover the printing and stationery requirements of all Government Departments and the turnover has exceeded £160,000 per annum during each of the past ten years, reaching a peak of £248,357 in 1929—30. Towards the end of 1933 the Education Department arranged for the public educational authorities whose funds are either entirely or to a substantial extent provided from the Consolidated Fund to be allowed to purchase stationery and printing supplies from the Government Printer, but up to the present little business has resulted from this arrangement. Manufacturing printing comprises approximately 80 per cent, of the turnover, while trading activities in stationery, typewriters, &c., amount to approximately 20 per cent, annually. The nature of the Department's business was such that it was eminently suitable to apply strictly commercial principles in the accounting system, and to produce annually Trading and Profit and Loss Accounts and balance-sheet. Commencing in .1924 a comprehensive system of cost accounting was introduced whereby more complete control became possible over the various factors in production—comprising labour, materials, and departmental and overhead expenses. Cost of production of completed jobs is now accurately ascertained, and more exact estimates of costs have become possible. Staff time-sheets allocated to jobs, priced at varying rates and returned daily, are charged to Productive Wages (directly chargeable) and to Establishment Wages (charged through on cost) and these, together with Stores issued dockets, entail very careful preparation. A useful check upon the accuracy of the system is gained by a comparison of works in progress scheduled from uncompleted job cost sheets with the amount shown by the Cost Control Account. The degree of accuracy revealed has been very satisfactory considering the volume of detail work involved, and the costing system adopted has worked well. The following table shows the results obtained during the periods mentioned.

_ It will be seen from the above table that during each year a profit (after allowing for interest on capital and depreciation) has been returned from the Department's activities with the exception of the year ended 31st March, 1932, when a loss (£3,249) was incurred. The capital as shown in the accounts is arrived at by the excess of assets over liabilities at the end of each year, and consequently fluctuations occur according to changes in stocks, sundry debtors and creditors, &c. These fluctuations are shown in the following table for the years mentioned : — £ £ £ 1923-24 .. 188,399 1927-28 .. 225,594 1930-31 .. 215,584* 1924-25 .. 216,097 1928-29 230,745 1931-32 .. 217,240 1925-26 .. 219,236 1929-30 .. 226,856 1932-33 .. 190 711 1926-27 .. 240,519 It is considered that the capital account should be an amount based upon the valuations of such assets as are used in producing revenue together with a proportion of cash invested in floating assets as stocks, &c. The accounting for purchases ancl subsequent issue of all Government stationery requirements involves the keeping of complete stock records controlling material and stores on hand. The substantial agreement of records with actual tallies of stock-taking periods evidences very satisfactory control. Audit of Government Stores. The work of this section of the Audit Office has proceeded steadily throughout the year, but as several of the Stores Audit officers were for a considerable period almost wholly occupied with investigations in connection with the Native land development schemes and the Royal Commission on Native Affairs the number of accounts examined during the year has fallen to 252, as compared with 306 in the previous year. Unfortunately, insufficiency of staff has prevented my giving that attention to some of the larger Departments of the Service that I should have liked. As, however, all Departments are now working on revised rules, the check within the Departments themselves should be of great service, provided those rules are strictly adhered to. Speaking generally, the work of auditing Government stores has been satisfactory, and I am pleased to record that the Railway Department has now issued its revised Stores Rules and Instructions,

I cannot emphasize too strongly the necessity for a careful and thorough audit of all Government stores and material, and in this connection I would like to refer to the well-known English authority, Sir E. Hilton Young. In his work " The System of National Finance "he deals, inter alia, with the auditing of stores, and it is appropriate in this section of my report to quote therefrom the following extract: — " Stores and store accounts, stock and stocktaking, are matters that lie heavy upon the minds of those responsible for economy and for the prevention of waste and leakage in the expenditure of public money. To abandon the watch over expenditure as soon as money has been converted into stores would be to close the eyes and turn them away just when control becomes most difficult and most necessary. Balances at banks and payments out of them are far easier to guard than articles lying about in storehouses, and it is far easier to tell whether a cash payment has been properly made than whether a bunkerful of coal, for instance, which yet represents cash, has been properly distributed. It is therefore eminently necessary that the expenditure of stores should be subjected to a control at least as stringent as that to which the expenditure of money is subjected. To this necessity Parliamentis now awake, although it did not awaken to it until long after the institution of the audit of money payments." Audit of the Accounts of Local Authorities. 1. In connection with the work of auditing the accounts of local authorities, I am pleased to report that all arrears of work at 31st March, 1.933, were overtaken during the year, and that at the 31st March, 1934, the position showed an improvement on that of the previous year, despite the extra work required to be undertaken by the Audit inspecting staff, arising out of the legislation of recent years. It became necessary, however, to strengthen the inspectional staff during the year, and in order to maintain the present position and cope with the increase of work in connection with the loanconversion operations of local authorities, the inspectional staff will require to be further strengthened. 2. Many local authorities have during the year experienced difficulty in collecting their revenues, with the result that numerous breaches of the law governing the limits of their expenditure have occurred. There were thirty-four instances, an increase of two on the previous year, where local authorities had exceeded the limits of their overdrafts at the bank, whilst there were thirty-two instances where local authorities had incurred liabilities, additional to overdraft liabilities, in excess of their current year's revenues. The difficulty of collecting their revenues has been responsible for the failure on the part of twenty-two local authorities either to create the required sinking funds for loans raised by them or to pay to the Sinking Fund Commissioners the annual instalments of sinking funds, and for the failure of thirteen local authorities to invest, as required by law, the amounts of their annual depreciation charges. 3. While some improvement has been effected in the stores accounting work of local authorities, there are still many who fail to realize that the omission to incorporate store accounts as a part of the accounting system destroys the best security against pilfering and waste of material. Pilfering and waste are both avoidable if a properly constituted system of stores accounting is enforced and it is therefore desirable in the interests of the ratepayers that a duty should be imposed on local authorities by statute to keep accurate records of stores. 4. In the past year the Audit Office dealt with eleven cases of misappropriation of funds by local authority officials, particulars of which were in every instance placed in the hands of the police. The defaulters were all dealt with by Criminal Court action. The largest sum misappropriated by any one official in the eleven cases mentioned was £335 17s. lOd. 5. «Eight members of local authorities automatically forfeited their seats during the year on account of being concerned or interested in contracts with the local authorities of which they were members, to an extent in each case in excess of the statutory contractual limits. In all instances the members concerned appear to have acted in ignorance of the law. 6. The services of the Audit Office have been freely availed of during the year to determine the many questions arising out of the diversity of legislation dealing with administration and finances of local authorities. Every year new enactments affecting local authorities are passed, each creating its own problems for the various local authorities' administrative officers. The principal enactments affecting the administration and finances of local authorities which were passed during last session of Parliament were : the Local Authorities Interest Reduction and Loans Conversion Amendment Act; the Harbours Amendment Act; the Municipal Corporations Act, which was both consolidated and amended ; and certain provisions of the Finance Act (No. 2). The unsatisfactory state of the law governing the disqualification of members of local authorities has on several occasions been referred to by me in my annual reports to Parliament, and I am pleased to note that it is the intention of the Government to introduce legislation during the present session of Parliament for the purpose of removing the existing anomalies in the law, by providing for uniformity in the conditions which constitute disqualification of the members of the various types of local authorities. 7. The Audit Office was during the year called upon to deal with numerous breaches of law relating to the accounts of local authorities, as detailed below (Schedule A). In each case an adjustment of accounts or a recovery of the moneys, as required by Audit, was enforced, excepting where a satisfactory explanation was made or where special circumstances were such that an adjustment or recovery was waived conditionally on legislation being obtained to validate the irregularities.

SCHEDULE OF IMPERFECT VOUCHERS PASSED BY THE AUDIT OFFICE, UNDER AUTHORITY OF SECTIONS 73 AND 75, PUBLIC REVENUES ACT, 1926—continued.

Ssction 3 (3), Public Revenues Act, 1926. Appended is a statement of the items representing moneys and stores which require the authority of Parliament for their final writing-off and discharge from the Public Account. Staff. I desire to express my appreciation of the efficient manner in which the work of the Audit Office has been performed by the staff during the year. There has been a great deal of additional work placed upon the Audit officers by legislation of late years, and recently the extra duties have been especially heavy owing to the work in connection with the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Native Affairs. I also recognize the zeal with which the officers continue to prosecute their studies in order that they may fit themselves to perform more efficiently higher duties in the service of the State. To carry out efficiently these higher duties an officer must not only have an expert knowledge of the principles of accountancy and auditing but he must also possess a sound knowledge of the particular laws governing the various classes of accounts which come under his review. In this connection I may mention that no less than fifty-two members of the staff have fully qualified by examination as professional accountants, and that many others have successfully passed in a majority of the subjects, and should in due course complete the final examination. I have to acknowledge with thanks the courtesy and assistance accorded by the various Government Departments and local bodies to the Audit Office and the Audit Inspectors throughout, the Dominion, and my acknowledgments are also due to the Crown Law Office for advice on the many difficult legal questions which have arisen during the year. G. P. C. Campbell, Audit Office, Controller and Auditor-General. sth September, 1934.
