CURRENT AUDIT
The following record was requisitioned for Audit/Scrutiny on test check basis vide letter
No. 01/IAD/ZAP/CZ/2017dated 19.07.2017
The following irregularities were found during the test audit of the Budget Watch Register for
the year 2014-15 to 2016-17, , so produced to audit.
2. Signature of the dealing assistant not found on any entry. Whereas each and every entry
should be signed by the official maintaining the register with countersignature of the
controlling officer.
3. The date of issue of budget was not shown. The authority competent may direct the official
maintaining the register to mention the date, which is mandatory.
4. Particulars/Narration of the expenditure under all the budget head except salary were not
given, even Bill No. & Date were also not shown in columns provided for the purpose.
5. In many entries, the amount of the expenditure was shown only and other mandatory
columns were left blank.
6. The budget register was not page numbered and also no certificate regarding no. of pages
was available on the budget register cash book.
The irregularities may be explained and justified to audit and such type of irregularities be
avoided in future.
As per statement of budget allocation and expenditure provided by the department for the
year 2014-15 to 2016-17 it was noticed that department had failed to keep proper watch on the
allocations & expenditure during the financial year. The detail of the same is given below:-
`DDO is responsible for the control of expenditure against the sanctioned budget placed
at his disposal. No expenditure should be incurred during the financial year on any work/item not
covered by the budget grant. If any excess over the allocation of budget is apprehended, the
department should obtain additional allocation before incurring the excess expenditure. Similarly
all the anticipated savings should be surrendered by the prescribed date, before the close of the
financial year.
From the above, it is revealed that the department has violated the terms of GFR for
controlling the budget allocation & expenditure during the said year, as there is huge difference
in allocated budget and expenditure incurred during the financial year. Savings were not
surrendered and expenditure incurred without getting sanctioned additional budget under their
respective Head. Reasons for the above irregularities be explained to audit
The department had not produced the G-8 Books’ Stock Register, so it could not be
ascertained that how many G-8 books were received and used by the division during the period
of audit. However, the dealing assistant produced the following G-8 books which had been duly
checked with the challans so produced by the department.
1. CE-50301 to 58400
2. 063701 to 63800 13.10.2009 to 07.09.2010
During the scrutiny of the above said G-8 Books it came to the notice that
(a) The head of office shall maintain the register of G-8 books received of G-8 books from
HQ and further its subsequent issue to the officials of the deptt.should be recorded ,but during
the audit for the period it has came to the notice that no record/register showing the number of G-
8 books received from HQ and their use has been maintained/produced to audit by the EE(CSE)
Store.
It was also noticed that in some cases the Draft/Cheque nos. were not mentioned on
the G-8 receipts.
(b) The G-8 books should be issued to the official against the proper requisition approved by
the competent authority and it should be ensured that the official dose not have more than one G-
8 book at a time and second book should not be issued to the particular official before the old
one is fully utilized and returned
(c). G-8 stock register made in plain register.
(d). No paging certificate given in the G-8 stock register.
(e). No signature issuing & receiving person.
The income verification certificate issued by the Zonal Treasury through Zonal
Accounts Authority with regard to income/money deposited by the depttt. through G-8
books/challan were not produced to audit.
In case of non deposition of the money realized through the G.8 Books, not produced to
audit or any other discrepancy found at a later stage, the sole responsibility will lie on the
shoulders of the concerned department.

During the course of audit of tender files produced, It was observed the department had not
recovered the tender cost from the contractors who had downloaded the tenders but remained
unsuccessful. The list of the contractors who had not deposited the requisite tender cost with the
deptt is given below
Rs.5500/-
amounting to Rs. 5500/- from the contractors who had not deposited the tender cost as
per the above list and deposit the recovered amount in the Municipal Treasury through
G.8/challan, under intimation to the Audit. The cases mentioned in the list are only illustrative
not exhaustive. Similar discrepancies in other cases are not ruled out hence EE concerned is
therefore requested to review all the tenders, from the date of introduction of E-tendering system
to till date, to ascertain the loss to department on the said account and effect necessary recovery
action immediately.
Cash Book is one of the most important accounts record of the department. It should be
maintained strictly in accordance with the rules/regulation & in prescribed format. All the
monetary transactions should immediately be entered in the cash book as soon as they occur.
During the course of audit of the Deptt. the following discrepancies have been noticed in
maintenance of the cash book:-
i. The cash book was not page numbered and also no certificate regarding no. of pages was
available on the cash book.
ii. Entries in the cash book were not signed by the dealing assistant as well as by the
DDO/EE.
iii. The cash book must be balanced/ closed on daily basis and should be initialed by the
person maintaining it and also by the DDO concerned but the same had not been done by
any of the official.
iv. The hard copy of the Bank Statement for the account, also not shown to Audit for cross
check.
v. Bank Reconciliation Statement for the Bank Accounts being operated in the deptt. was
not provided to the audit. It was reported by the staff that the same had not been
prepared. Without BRS, the deptt. cannot keep proper check on financial transactions.
Non preparation of the BRS is a serious lapse on the part of the deptt.
vi. Complete details of expenditure was not available in the cash book e.g. Bill are being
paid without mentioning the work order No. & date of its issue, Status of the Bill i.e.
whether it is Ist or 2nd…… R/A Bill or Final Bill.
vii. No detail in r/o Permanent Advance of Rs.5000/- sanctioned for opening of DDO account
was also available in the Cash Book. EE may clarify the situation to Audit.
viii. Detail w.r.t. voucher of transfer/RTGS, cheque no., and date, demand no. Head of
account etc was not given in the cash book due to which release of demand from time to
time could not be reconciled.
ix. The copy of the demand should be attached with the paid vouchers but during the course
of audit of the vouchers it was noticed that the copy of the demand was not enclosed
with the vouchers and also the same was not made available to audit for scrutiny. Which
needs clarification?
In addition to above, a number of voucher were found in the voucher file. But the
same was not entered in the cash book.
Reason for the above irregularities be explained to audit.
Reasons for above irregularities be explained and justified to audit. Similar type of
practices be avoided in future.
