four classes, and it is desirable in the interests
of the Service generally that appointments in the
second class, which comprise most of the less highly
paid auditorships and the deputy auditorships, should
be filled by officers who have had an opportunity of
ue..onstrating their capacity in posts carrying greater
responsibilities than those normally allocated to
assistant auditors in yast Africa; such intermediate
posts form Class III of the Colonial Audit Department.
On this basis it is apparent, in the first
place that it is necessary that there should be a
sufficient number of appointments in Class III to
proviue a reasonable flow of promotion for officers in
Class IV, and in the second place that the general level
of remuneration attached to Classes II, III and IV
respectively should bear such relation to one another
that promotion from one class to the next will
ordinarily involve a definite financial advantage.
For this purpose it is essential that the East African
salary scheme should provide for a grade of senior
assistant auditors with a scale of salary appropriate to
Class III, i.e. superior to the scale applicable to
officers in Class 1' of the Service, but with a maximum
which (taking into account the provision of free quarters
in East Africa) will not render appointments in Class II
of the Service financially unattractive.
The scale proposed for audit officers has been
framed with special regard to these considerations.
