That it is entered in the book. Have you any doubt in

your mind that the sum is entered in the book

The doubt arises in my mind that a man may have been

fined, and it not entered by an ogersight.

How would you account for that. Would you find at the 14756

end of six months or a year that the books do not

balance

what do you do ?

I do not check the fines book with the Bank book.

I will put a hypothetical case. An Interpreter has 14-757

done something, and he is fined $10. By some mistake,

it is not entered, but it is collected from him and

paid into the Bank. At the end of six months, you have

$10 more than you ought to have, according to the entries in the misdonduct book. Now, what steps do you

take in checking your books ↑

The local auditor would find out at once, if there was

any difference between my cashbook and the fines book.

Does the misconduct book go to the local auditor ↑ 14758

No, not the book.

14759

Therefore the misconduct book does not go to the auditor, but our fine book does. Does your fine book

agree with the misconduct book ?

As i say, it should agree, and as far as i know it

agrees, and if it does not agree, then the money has

not been entered in the misdonduct book.

that he has fined somebody so much ▼
