ACCOUNTING SERVICES DIVISION
Chief (Principal) Treasury Accountant:
K. W. CATTON
Principal Treasury Accountant (Acting):
P. M. CARR (21.4.72-15.9.72)
2.16 During the year the post of Principal Treasury Accountant was retitled Chief Treasury Accountant.
2.17 Little further progress was made in the development of departmental accounting services. A report on the Architectural Office containing recommendations for the establishment of additional accounting posts has been with the Treasury since April 1972. During this time the department was requested to supply further information, but the Treasury, because of other priority assignments, are not in a position to examine the staffing proposals made.
2.18 The ever increasing volume and complexity of the work of the Architectural Office gives rise to growing concern over the problems of controlling and accounting for expenditure in that Office.
2.19 The post of Treasury Accountant, Electrical and Mechanical Office, which has been vacant since May 1970, remains unfilled.
2.20 However, the mechanization of the workshops costing system, which received detailed study over many months, led to joint proposals by two companies marketing accounting machines and computer equipment.
2.21 The proposals were receiving further study when a decision was taken to conduct a department-wide computer feasibility study. In consequence no further progress can be made towards the introduction of a mechanized/computerized costing system, until the feasibility study is completed.
