PUBLIC ACCOUNTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH, 1935.

REPORT OF THE CONTROLLER AND AUDITOR-GENERAL.

I have the honour to submit my report for the year ended 31st March, 1935, in terms of subsections (2), (3), and (4) of section 89 of the Public Revenues Act, 1926. In connection with these reports, which the Controller and Auditor-General is required to submit to Parliament year by year, it is desirable that I should explain that it is necessary to comment only on a very small percentage of the matters which come under the notice of Audit affecting the Public Accounts during each year. It will be readily understood that in the vast majority of cases where questions regarding ordinary transactions are raised by Audit a settlement is arrived at after discussion with the Treasury or the Department concerned, and there is no occasion therefore for further reference to be made to these cases in the annual report to Parliament. The full Statement of the Receipts and Payments of the Public Account is contained in two parliamentary papers —namely, (1) 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 (2) 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 1934-35 has already been laid before Parliament, it is only necessary for me now to present Part II in accordance with the usual practice. Audit Status in relation to Parliament and the Public Accounts Committee. With a view of obtaining an expression of opinion from the Public Accounts Committee regarding the constitutional relationship which should exist between the Controller and Auditor-General and that Committee, and also with Parliament, the Controller and Auditor-General last session addressed a memorandum to the Chairman of the Committee, dated 28th September, 1934, in which he dealt fully with this subject. The following matters were discussed in the above memorandum and also in subsequent memoranda dated 17th and 23rd October, 1934, respectively (a) Parliamentary control over expenditure. (b) Parliamentary control over the form of Public Accounts. (c) Statutory position of the Controller and Auditor-General. (id) System on which the Public Accounts are based. (e) The functions of statements of receipts and payments as compared with departmental revenue accounts and balance-sheets. (/) Distinction between an appropriation audit and a commercial audit. When these matters came before the Committee for discussion it was pointed out by the Chairman that, as the subject of the Audit representations had not been specifically referred by Parliament to the Committee, any decision come to by the Committee could not, in view of the terms of the resolution of the House appointing the Committee, be reported to Parliament. The Committee, however, very kindly consented to hear and give consideration to the Audit review of the position, and I wish to acknowledge the courtesy of the Committee in devoting so much time to these matters, notwithstanding the absence of specific authority.

B.—l [PT. ll],

I do not propose now to enter into details concerning the subjects then submitted by Audit, but I may mention that in the course of discussion important differences were found to exist between the procedure and functions of the Public Accounts Committee of the House of Commons and the procedure and functions of the corresponding Committee of the New Zealand House of Representatives. As these questions very closely affect the very important principle of the control of public expenditure by Parliament through its Committee, and also through the Controller and Auditor-General, who is an officer of Parliament, and as they also affect the constitutional position of the Controller and Auditor-General, vis-a-vis the Public Accounts Committee and Parliament, I feel it desirable that the attention of Parliament should be called to the action taken by the Controller and AuditorGeneral in the hope that consideration may be given to the anomalies which appear to exist and which would seem to require early adjustment. Non-compliance with Law. In my report for last year, 8.-l [Pt. ll], page iv, paragraphs 3, 4, and 5, attention was drawn to certain matters in which the provisions of the law had not been complied with. As these irregularities were then dealt with in detail, Ido not propose to reiterate the objections referred to. No action has been taken, however, to remedy the position either by altering the present system so as to comply with the law or by amending the law so as to bring it into line with existing practice. Reference was also made in my last report, page xii, to the fact that payments made in London by the High Commissioner under the authority of section 20, Finance Act, 1928, are not being submitted for audit as is the ease with other payments. This practice still obtains and Audit can therefore accept no responsibility for the correctness of these payments. Changes in the Form of the Public Accounts. In my report for last year, 8.-l [Pt. ll], page xi, I drew attention to important changes in the form of the Public Accounts for the year 1933-34, and it is noted that still further changes have been made in the form of these Accounts for the year 1934-35. As pointed out last year it is the rule in the United Kingdom that no important alteration should be made in the form of the Public Accounts or Estimates unless such alteration has been approved by Parliament through the Public Accounts Committee. Frequent alterations in the form of the Public Accounts a,re undesirable, as they tend to reduce parliamentary control, and it is indicated by the highest authorities that the presentation of the accounts in a similar form year by year to enable proper comparisons to be made is of such importance that, even though an alteration may in itself be thought desirable, it should be made only after the gravest consideration and after the consent of the Public Accounts Committee has been obtained. I therefore again bring this matter under notice in the hope that steps may be taken by Parliament to require that no important alterations in the form of the Public Accounts or Estimates shall be made until such have been submitted to and approved by the Public Accounts Committee. 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, 1935 :—

It will be seen that an annual saving of interest amounting to £160,952 12s. 9d. has now been efiected 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 of interest on securities redeemed to — £ 8 . 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 31st March, 1932 .. .. .. •• •• •• 90,816 3 3 31st March, 1933 .. .. ■■ •• •• 109,236 2 3 31st March, 1934 .. .. .. • ■ • • • • 137,436 17 9 31st March, 1935 .. .. .. • • •• 160,952 12 9 Of the £1,623,160 12s. redeemed during the year, £1,530,000 consisted of Treasury bills issued under the Banks Indemnity (Exchange) Act,' 1932-33, and, as explained in my report for last year, the effect of redeeming these bills out of the Public Debt Repayment Account was to free an equal amount of credit in the Ordinary Revenue Account for the purposes of the latter account.

The amount of such loans outstanding as at 31st March, 1935, was £4.213,050. The decrease in the debt during the year was effected principally by the application of the proceeds of surplus sterling assets sold to the Reserve Bank.

Treatment of Investments in the Public Accounts. The discrepancies between the Treasury books and the published accounts to which I have called attention in previous reports still continue. Negotiations have taken place between this office and the Treasury on the matter, but an agreement acceptable to the Audit Office has not been reached, though the Treasury has made an alteration in the summary following the abstract of the Public Account, 8.-l [Pt. I], which is a step in the right direction. If the Treasury can see its way to carry the matter a step further and sever the investments from the Receipts and Payments accounts, the objections raised by the Audit Office would to a large extent be removed. In some cases the abstract of the Public Account shows amounts as balances at the end of the year under the heading " Securities held," though in fact no securities are held representing such amounts. Treatment of Exchange in the Public Accounts. The position to which I drew attention in previous reports—see B;-l [Pt. ll], 1933, p. xvi, and B-1 [Pt. ll], 1934, page ix—still continues. Generally speaking, the method of treating exchange is to charge the cost to the Ordinary Revenue Account of the Consolidated Fund and to credit any premiums received from exchange to the same account, irrespective of whether or not the transactions in respect of which the exchange arose were transactions of this account. The effect is to place a heavier burden than necessary on the Consolidated Fund and to relieve other accounts of their due proportion of the cost. The authority quoted for this procedure is section 55 of the Finance Act, 1932, which provides that the Minister of Finance may exercise discretionary power in the matter of charging the exchange. It is therefore possible for the Minister in compliance with that section to allocate the exchange to the appropriate accounts if so desired: As an. example of the effect on an Appropriation Account I would quote a case in which expenditure amounting to £414 18s. 9d. was made in New Zealand out of vote, " Scientific and Industrial Research," the whole of such expenditure being recoverable in London. The equivalent of the £414 18s. 9d. was duly recovered in London, the amount being £333 ss. Bd. sterling. As the amount recovered in London was equal in value to the amount expended in New Zealand it is clear that the net amount chargeable against the vote was nil. Owing to the failure to make proper allowance for the difference in exchange, however, the vote, after being debited with £414 18s. 9d., was credited with £333 ss. Bd. only, and therefore showed a net debit of £81 13s. Id. in respect of this transaction, and was clearly overcharged to this extent. The above comments refer to the cash accounts only. As regards the departmental Income and Expenditure Accounts and Balance-sheets published in 8.-l [Pt. IV] the exchange charges are entirely omitted, and this .renders these accounts, which are required to be drawn up on a commercial basis, incapable of fulfilling their purpose. The net cost of exchange for the year amounted to £1,450,000 and was paid from and charged to Ordinary Revenue Account. A very substantial portion of this amount should, in the opinion of Audit, have been charged to the various appropriate accounts. Interest on Public Account Cash-balance Investments. I have on previous occasions drawn attention to the practice adopted by the Treasury of allocating interest derived from investments of moneys belonging to certain of the accounts within the Public Account to all of those accounts instead of to those only which have provided the money for the investments. . . . ■ . It will be recognized that by this method certain accounts receive credit for interest which they did not earn while others are deprived of part of the interest which they did earn. In so far as the Ordinary Revenue Account is thus affected the Budget balance is also affected. Conversion of Securities. Investment securities of a nominal value of £442,110 held as an investment of the Post Office Savings-bank funds bearing interest at 3| per cent., 3f per cent,, and 4 per cent, were converted into Government stock bearing interest at 3 per cent. An annual loss of interest to the Post Office amounting to £2,927 19s. was the result, although such conversion meant a corresponding saving of interest to the Consolidated Fund. As the entries were legally in order they were duly passed by the Audit Office after the attention of the Director-General of the Post and Telegraph Department had been called to the matter. Reserve Fund Investments in London. During the year the Treasury decided to dispose of India stocks, which had been held in London for many years as investments of the Reserve Fund and of the Post Office, and to purchase with the proceeds Imperial Treasury bonds, which it was considered would be more readily realizable should an urgent necessity arise. India stocks of a face value of £576,495 and bearing interest at 3J per cent., 3 per cent., and 2| per cent, were sold, the net proceeds being £452,755. Of these proceeds a sum of £452,737 was invested in British Treasury bonds of a face value of £448,300 and bearing interest at 2 per cent. The transaction involved an annual loss of income to the Government amounting to £8,767.

Imprests Outstanding. In examining the abstract of the Public Account for the year 1934-35 as submitted for audit it was found that imprests which were shown as outstanding in the Dominion were in fact not all held in the Dominion, but in some cases were outstanding in Australia, Samoa, Canada, and the United States of America. The Audit Office requested that the amounts should be shown as outstanding in the country in which they were actually held. The Treasury, however, did not concur, and, moreover, ceased showing the amount of imprests outstanding in London as has been customary for many years, and showed all the imprests outstanding under each account without any indication as to the country in which they were held. Owing to differences in exchange the amounts of imprests held in the different countries are of different values, even though they may be stated under units of account bearing the same name —the pound for example. For this reason it appears to the Audit Office desirable, if not essential, that the country in which the imprests are held should be stated in the Public Accounts. In order that the information may be available I append a statement of the imprests outstanding at 31st March, 1935, under each account, showing where such imprests were held : —

Departmental Accounts and Balance-sheets. The accounts and balance-sheets for the year 1933-34 of all Departments have been submitted and examined by the Audit Office. The examination showed that the system of accounting and internal checks have been well maintained throughout the year. A State balance-sheet was again produced and the ground-work prepared for the production of a State Income and Expenditure Account, which it is hoped will be submitted for Audit examination next year. It is fifteen years since the system of preparing departmental accounts on commercial lines was introduced, and it is now possible to make deductions from a survey of the position as annually shown. It has been recognized that the rates of depreciation charged in the past have in nearly all cases been too high, and there is no doubt that many assets, which have been written down to the extent of practically their full original value, still possess many more years of useful life. In the case of the general departmental accounts the depreciation reserves provided to 31st March, 1934, are being written off as at Ist April, 1934, against the respective assets with a corresponding reduction in capital account, thus reducing the charge for interest on capital. For the year ended 31st March, 1935, the depreciation will be calculated on the annually reducing value of the assets instead of on the original value as formerly, and new and reduced rates will be laid down for ensuing years. The Audit Office suggests that it would be more satisfactory to have a revaluation made of the various assets controlled by each Department, and to fix the rates to be charged annually on a basis to be determined by a review of the records of each Department from the date of the inception of the system. The omission of all mention of exchange in the departmental accounts has been fully dealt with under another heading in this report as well as in previous reports. In connection with the examination of these departmental accounts and balance-sheets difficulty is experienced in checking the dissections of capital and revenue expenditure made by the Departments concerned. I again make the suggestion that this difficulty could be readily overcome if the Departments were required to prepare their estimates in such a way as to distinguish between the capital and revenue items. Audit would then be able to satisfy itself by detailed examination of every voucher that proper allocations have been made. It has been claimed that this would involve a large increase in the size of the estimates, but in the cases of most Departments it would not involve much additional space, and the advantage of being able to secure a proper check is, in the opinion of the Audit Office, of primary importance.

I am not altogether satisfied that the basis of inter-departmental charges is uniform as between Departments. For instance, Cabinet decided that Departments undertaking work in connection with the small-farm scheme were not to recover administrative charges incurred therewith other than a reduced charge for the erection of cottages and milking-sheds. This, of course, refers to the cash accounts, and the Audit Office does not press the matter as regards these cash accounts, but is of opinion that the value of the services rendered should be shown in the respective Income and Expenditure Accounts of the Departments concerned, such as the Departments of Agriculture, Public Works, and Valuation. Otherwise the respective accounts would be shown as bearing a part of cost of administering the Unemployment Fund through the small-farm scheme. I have drawn attention in previous years to the fact that some Departments do not charge interest on the cost of works under construction. This practice is not in accord with Audit views, and is farreaching in its effects, as Departments holding assets constructed out of Public Works Fund (General Purposes Account) do not reflect in their balance-sheets the true capital cost of the works, and the revenue accounts of such Departments will also not reflect the true amount of interest chargeable. The practice is also inconsistent with the system in force in the Electric Supply Account, in which case interest during construction is being charged. Audit of Government Stores. The principles of stores accountancy appear to be well established now in all parts of the Service, and the result of the Audit inspection during the year has been on the whole satisfactory. Owing to shortage of trained officers, however, I have been unable to make a complete audit of the Railway and Post and Telegraph Departments during the year. It will be recognized that a complete audit of all Government stores and material in New Zealand entails a very considerable amount of work, and I am now providing for the training of additional officers, and hope to be able to keep pace with the work in the early future. Audit of Accounts of Local Authorities. The satisfactory position of the work of auditing the accounts of local authorities which was recorded in last year's report has been well maintained during the year. It is the aim of the Audit Office to audit the accounts of all local authorities within a reasonable time after the close of the financial year, and I am pleased to report that the majority of localauthority officials show a commendable desire to have their accounts audited with promptitude, and consequently prepare their accounts expeditiously. With a view of expediting the work it has been found necessary to increase the inspectional staff by the appointment of two additional Inspectors. A great deal of extra work has been thrown on the Audit staff in connection with the conversion of local bodies' loans under Part II of the Local Authorities Interest Reduction and Loans Conversion Act, 1932-33. During the year there were thirty-six instances where local authorities had contravened the statutory provisions governing borrowing on overdraft, and there were twenty-six instances where they had incurred liabilities, additional to overdraft liabilities, in excess of their current year's revenues. As pointed out in my previous reports, the present economic position has disclosed the inadequacy of the provisions of section 3 of the Local Bodies' Finance Act, 1921-22, as a safeguard against excessive borrowing. It would appear that at the present time the limits of overdraft, as fixed by section 3, are excessive in cases where arrears of rates include any large proportion of uncollectable rates. Many local authorities take full advantage of the present law to expend moneys in anticipation of the receipt of the rates levied by them for the year, which experience has shown cannot in many cases be collected to an amount sufficient to recoup that expenditure. The tendency of some local authorities to endeavour to economize at the expense of their debenture-holders by refraining from meeting their obligations in respect of the payment of sinkingfund instalments was again evident during the year. The accounts of no less than seventeen local bodies disclosed that they had failed, either to establish sinking funds, or to make the annual payments to the Sinking Fund Commissioners. During the year the Audit Office dealt with fifteen cases of misappropriation of funds by localbody 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, and a sentence was imposed by the Court in each instance. The total sum involved in the defalcations amounted to £2,435, and the largest sum misappropriated by any one official was £995. In one instance, where the amount misappropriated was £716, the misappropriation was made easy by the practice of the local-body members signing blank cheque forms and leaving them to be completed by the official concerned. Audit Inspectors have on quite a considerable number of occasions reported instances where this practice obtained in the offices of local authorities. In all cases where the practice has been reported to the Audit Office by the Inspectors steps have been taken to ensure its discontinuance immediately. 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 excess of the statutory contractual limits, or on account of their holding an office or place of profit under or in the gift of such local authorities. In all instances the members concerned appear to have acted in ignorance of the law,

In several of my previous reports I referred to the unsatisfactory state of the law governing the disqualification of members of local authorities, and I am pleased to note that the anomalies then existing in the law have now been removed by the passing during last session of Parliament of the Local Authorities (Members' Contracts) Act, 1934. The new Act provides for uniformity in the conditions which constitute disqualification of the members of the various types of local authorities. It becomes more obvious each year that some clearly expressed statutory rule should be laid down regarding what constitutes the reasonable additional costs of holding an Electric-power Board or Harbour Board election when such election is conducted simultaneously with the election of a Borough or County Council. Many disputes have arisen in the past between local authorities as to the interpretation to-be placed" on the words "reasonable additional costs," and the disputes have been determined by the Audit Office. In order to remove the cause of the disputes a clear definition of what constitutes " reasonable additional costs " is advisable. Although many local authorities have established stores systems by which an efficient control is maintained over the receipt and issue of stores, I again desire to draw attention to the fact that there are" yet a considerable number who fail to realize the many advantages to be obtained by keeping an accurate stores accounting system. Many of these local authorities contend that the amount and nature of their stores transactions do not warrant the expense of establishing and maintaining a stores system. It is not suggested that such local authorities should be required to establish elaborate systems of stores control. The wishes of the Audit Office would in such cases be met so long as the stores records kept by the local authorities afforded an adequate check over the receipt and issue of the stores. At present there is no statutory obligation 011 local bodies to keep accurate stores accounts, and, as stated in previous reports, it is desirable in the interests of the ratepayers that the keeping of stores records by the responsible officials of local authorities should be made compulsory by statute. The services of the Audit Inspectors are available to local authorities desirous of introducing systems of stores control into their accounts, and a number of local bodies have already sought their advice in this matter. Several of the County Councils within the Taranaki Provincial District have for a number of years past omitted to collect the heavy-traffic license fees in respect of all farmers' private motor-lorries used in carting milk to factories and in respect of which such fees are payable under the regulations. The Audit Office has no statutory power to compel these Councils to collect the«license fees in question, and attention is therefore drawn to the matter. The Audit Office was during the year called upon to deal with numerous breaches of the law relating to the accounts of local authorities, as detailed below (Schedule A). In each case where the Audit Office had power to take action an adjustment of accounts or a recovery of the moneys was required, 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. A list of special cases where this conditional waiver was granted is set out in Schedule B. Schedule A.

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 have to record my appreciation of the excellent service rendered by the stafl of the Audit Department during the past financial year. The year has not been without the usual problems which the Audit Office is called upon from time to time to deal with, but it is very gratifying to know that the staff has given its services unsparingly in solving these problems. With a view to increasing the efficiency of the staff it has been laid down that no officer will be promoted to Glass II until he has passed the Accountants' Professional Examination, the completion of which is of paramount importance to Audit officers, whose duties require that they should possess a complete knowledge of accounting practice and procedure. On the staff of the Audit Office there are now fifty-seven officers who have completed the examination, and many others who have several subjects to their credit. It is with much satisfaction that I have also to record my appreciation of the manner in which the various Government Departments and local bodies have co-operated with the Audit Office in the carrying-out of its duties. My special thanks are due to the Crown Law Office for its very helpful advice on the many legal points which the Audit Office had occasion to refer for decision during the year. G. F. C.
