(2) He should render accurately and promptly all such accounts and returns relating to them as may have been prescribed by the Government, the Accountant General or the competent departmental authorities. 

10

(3) He should check the accounts as frequently as possible in order to see that there is no occasion to commit fraud, misappropriation or any other irregularity. 

(4) He will be held personally responsible for any loss that may be found to be due to any neglect of the duties laid upon him by the provisions of this Code and other Codes or Financial Procedure issued by the Government (See also Chapter XI ).

(6) He should exercise a specially strict and close control in regard to the maintenance of proper accounts. 

(7)In preparing the departmental accounts particular attention should be given to the following points:—

 (i) The departmental revenue accounts should not be compiled from the returns prepared by the Treasury. But the Treasury Officer may be required, where necessary, to verify the returns prepared for submission to the departmental controlling authority. 

(ii) In order to facilitate check by Controlling Officers and to prevent misclassification in the treasury accounts, all receipts of revenue should be noted in the departmental accounts before being credited into the treasury, and the fact noted in the chalan. The chalan should show distinctly on what account the money is to be received and under what detailed head of revenue it has been entered in the departmental accounts. The entry in the departmental accounts should be completed before the amount is credited into the treasury; i.e., the entry in the departmental accounts should show the amount as received. 

 

11

 

Details of remittance towards loans and advances should be entered in a separate register at the time of countersigning such chalans. If the countersigning officers are not themselves the District Controlling Officers, they should send monthly extracts of this register to the District Controlling Officers. With the assistance of such extracts received from the subordinate officers and the register maintained in their own offices, the District Officers should verify their monthly statements with the treasury figures at the time of reconciliation and see whether money as per all the chalans countersigned by them or by their subordinate officers has actually been remitted and if so note the number and date of each chalan against the entry in their register and in the extracts received from subordinate officers and delete the entries in respect of those countersigned chalans which had not been presented in the Treasury for remittance. 

 

(iii) Revenue collected in one district on account of another should be credited in the treasury account of the receiving district under the appropriate head of account and the fact intimated to the appropriate departmental officer in the district concerned. Any such item of revenue should be omitted in the demand, collection and balance statement of the receiving district and included in that of the district to which it belongs. Foot notes should be added to the demand, collection and balance statements of both the districts to explain the difference between these statements and the treasury accounts. 

(iv) The departmental sub controlling officers should reconcile the departmental figures with the treasury figures and obtain the signature of the Treasury Officer on the statement prepared by them in token of the agreement of their figures with the treasury figures, before the accounts are submitted to the Controlling Officers. This should be done through the departmental staff deputed to the treasuries for the reconciliation work as required in para 68 of the Budget Manual.

(4)   Inform the Accountant General at once, of any wrong credit, when discovered, in order that the accounts may be corrected. When a subordinate Government servant’s return includes a credit for which there is no corresponding credit in the accounts received from the Accountant General, the Controlling Officer should, in the first instance, call for full information from the subordinate Government servant. 

 

(5) Exercise a close watch in regard to the reconciliation work of receipt figures as in the case of expenditure. For this, the Chief Controlling Officers should get quarterly reports on the progress of reconciliation work in respect of departmental receipts from their subordinate controlling officers with a certificate to the effect that the departmental figures have been reconciled with those booked in the Treasury. 

The Controlling Officers should review the reports received from the subordinate controlling officers and satisfy themselves that the reconciliation of departmental receipt figures is done properly and promptly.
