24.
Without labouring the point further
the fact remains that Government accounting is
one of Cash Receipts and Payments and that so
long as the regulations provide for accounting
under this system so long will the charging in
a year's accounts of sums not actually disbursed
be irregular.
25. Should the regulations be locally
impracticable then it is submitted that the
Secretary of State's authority should be
obtained for any departure therefrom.
26. The suggestion was made at the
Conference that the Treasurer and Auditor should
on their return from leave go further into this
question in so far as the Departmental Bank
Accounts are concerned and this is being
done but there will still remain the question
of the charges made but not disbursed within
the year by the Head Office of the Treasury
itself.
