CERTIFICATE OF THE DIRECTOR OF AUDIT

The attached Balance Sheet and the accompanying Statements of Income and Expenditure and Outstanding Loans have been examined in accordance with Section 11(2) of the Police (Welfare Fund) Regulations, 1953. I have obtained all the information and explanations that I have required, and I certify, as a result of this audit, that in my opinion the Balance Sheet and Statements are correct subject to the following observation:-

A legal opinion has been given that the payment of $57,757.87 made to Auxiliary Police Officers for duties performed by them is ultra vires Section 34 of the Police Force Ordinance (Cap 232). I understand that it is intended to propose an amendment to the Hong Kong Auxiliary Police Force Ordinance, 1959 to validate the payments.
