Under Other Charges Annually Recurrent, provision for "Subsistence Allowances" has been decreased due to re-organization of the audits in the New Territories.
The contribution to the Overseas Audit Department is based on the amount needed in the current year, but as changes are due to United Kingdom salary awards and constitutional changes in other territories within the Overseas Audit System, accurate forecasting is not possible.

The actual expenditure for 1967-68 is for only 4 months as this department was set up in December, 1967. The approved estimates for personal emoluments for 1968-69 include a frozen amount of $135,120 transferred to the Colonial Secretariat and Legislature as a result of the transfer of part of the machine room staff to the Government Computer Bureau.
Under Other Charges Annually Recurrent, the increase in the Rent vote is due to the renting of new office accommodation in the International Building while the decrease in the Data Processing Equip- ment vote is due to the Government Computer Bureau taking over most of the work formerly done by this department.
