During the auditors’ review of the imprest, it was observed that the imprest balance in the Government Local Fund (GL) differed from the unretired imprest balance maintained by the Internal Audit Unit.
“The GL balance was D903,074 while the internal audit report showed an unretired imprest balance of D61,000 resulting in a difference of D842,074.”
The Committee recommends that Management should ensure that the difference of D842,074 be investigated and the Committee be furnished with details of the investigation.
The auditors also observed that the transactions listed below did not pass through the procurement system as required.
They recommended that both the Board and Management ensure that these monies are recovered “immediately by June 2024.”
“The auditors requested for the following transactions and contract documents but they were not provided. It is also noted that GPPA approval attachment forms were not provided for their review.”
The Committee also recommended that Management should ensure that contract documents and GPPA forms are completed and maintained for future references.
