I hereby certify that the Statement of Receipts and Payments, Income and Expenditure Accounts, Appropriation Accounts, and Balance-sheet have been compared with the accounts and balance-sheets of the respective Maori Land Boards, and correctly state the position as disclosed thereby, subject to the following comments :—(1) In the case of the Tokerau, Waikato-Maniapoto, Waiariki, Ikaroa, and South Island District Maori Land Boards, the figures submitted have been accepted pending the completion of the examination of the accounts by the Local Audit Inspectors. (2) In the case of the Tairawhiti District Maori Land Board: (a) The Audit Office is unable to certify to the adequacy of certain securities owing to the absence of information as to the values of the lands secured ; (6) rent ledger accounts show only the amounts received and not the amounts receivable ; (c) stock returns in respect of the Anaura Station were not prepared for the period Ist April, 1933, to the 31st December, 1933: (d) the values of live-stock on hand at the Anaura Station have been accepted on the Manager's certificate. (Note. —The matter referred to in comment (b) has since been adjusted). — J. H. Fowleb, Deputy Controller and Auditor-General.

I hereby certify that the Revenue Accounts and Balance-sheet have been duly examined and compared witlifc relative books a.nd documents submitted for audit, and correctly state the position as disclosed thereby. The followin comments are appended : (1) While the asset item £516,727 14s. represents the total net expenditure on developmental schemes, the asset £377,913 14s. Bd., settlement expenditure (settlers not yet determined), contains expenditure which is chargeable to the asset accounts of units (£131,863 7s. I Id.). (2) The portion of the expenditure, £377,913 14s. Bd., representing stocks is not in all cases supported by stock-sheets. (3) At present it is not possible to make a satisfactory examination of each scheme inaugurated under the Native land-development schemes. It is understood that branch accounts are being instituted in each district, and it is imperative that proper records of live-stock and other stocks be>set up in connection with each undertaking.—G.

P. G. Pearce, Under-Seoretary. R. L. Jellicoe, A.E.A.N.Z., Accountant. I hereby certify that the Revenue Account and Balance-sheet have been duly examined and compared with the relative books and documents submitted for audit, and correctly state the position as disclosed thereby, subject to the departmental notes enfaced thereon. The following Audit comments are appended : (1) That portion of the expenditure, £415,025 17s. 9d., representing stocks is not in all cases supported by stock-sheets ; (2) the loading on the various schemes for administration expenses is not sufficient to cover the full cost; (3) the recoupment of interest to Consolidated Fund, £28,750, is not supported by details, and it is therefore not possible to ascertain if interest is not being recouped from public works loan-moneys ; (4) decentralization of accounts has been proceeded with but has not yet been completed, therefore it is impossible at present to make a satisfactory examination of each separate scheme inaugurated.—G. F. C. Campbell, Controller and Auditor-General.
