B. C. Ashwin, Acting Secretary to the Treasury. A. R. F. Mackay, M.Com. (N.Z.), Ph.D. (Lond.), Assistant Accountant to the Treasury. The Treasury, Wellington, 28th May, 1937. The foregoing accounts have been examined and are certified with the following exception : —• Profits of the State Advances Corporation and interest on stock issued by it have been treated as a reduction of interest charges in the Consolidated Fund whereas in the opinion of the Audit Office these amounts should have been included in the receipts of that Fund. Note. —This certificate is given subject to further comments which will be made in my annual report and subject also to the final audit of certain vouchers which, owing to the post-audit system provided for by the Public Revenues Act, 1926, cannot be completely audited before the date at which the abstract is required by the Act to be certified. J. H. Fowler, Controller and Auditor-General. Treasury Note. With reference to the exception taken by the Controller and Auditor-General to the treatment of moneys received from the State Advances Corporation, it is pointed out that either method of accounting produces the same net result. Treasury considers, however, that as the moneys represent the direct earnings from investment of loan-moueys it is desirable that the amount in question should be utilized in reduction of the interest paid on the public debt.
