100 as will enable him to ascertain that the accounts are kept on a correct system, that they are punctually and properly posted, and that the checks against irregu- larity and fraud are adequate and effective. 337. He will be responsible for seeing that the laws of the Colony, the Colonial Regulations, and the in- structions of the Governor in all matters of finance and account are strictly observed, and will bring to the notice of the Governor any failure in their observance. 338. The Auditor will not undertake any examina- tion of accounts, partaking of the nature of pre-audit, which involves the acceptance by him of a responsibility which would preclude him from full criticism of any accounting transactions after they have been duly recorded in the account books of the Colony. 339. The examination of the accounts, which will be carried out either at the local audit offices or at the offices of the various accounting officers, as may be most convenient, will be, as far as possible, conducted direct from the books of the various accounting officers. 340. The Auditor will examine and check the sub- sidiary books and the accounts of the authorised imprests and advances, and ascertain whether such imprests and advances are punctually accounted for and repaid. In the event of any imprest having been made to an officer without special authorisation, before a previous imprest has been accounted for, he will report the fact to the Governor. He will at once report any unauthorised advance to any officer or account or any other unauthorised disbursement appear- ing in the books. In his examination of the deposit accounts he will ascertain that all deposits which have remained unclaimed for five years are, in the absence of special reasons to the contrary, written off to revenue. He will call attention to any apparent neglect in the collection of arrears of revenue.
