Felix & Co, Cost Accountants
Audit Report Date:
27.04.2012
Audit Period:
01.01.2009-31.12.2012
Note: comments offered here
are by a member of CGI Action Council on behalf of CGI management/overseer. You
are also welcome to offer YOUR comments and try to give our INNOCENT overseer a
golden handshake.
7.1.3.1
‘the major concern in this area is the donation coupons printed and issued for
the fund mobilization for the new office complex. The donation coupons are
printed and distributed without a serial number for tracing and
verification’.
Comments-
who authorized you to judge us? In COG we don’t believe in serial numbers, we
want money only.
Action
council has already told this to the public.
7.2.3
‘During the preliminary visit for the audit we have noticed that most of the
vouchers doesn’t have the signature of an approval authority and we
have enquired about this to the accountant. To our surprise while we started
the audit after couple of days, we found that rubber stamp of Overseers
signature is affixed on all vouchers. How can an authority exercise its
diligence in sanctioning a payment , if the voucher are being sealed with a
rubber stamp signature and what is the purpose of such exercise ,long after
releasing the payment’.
Comments-It
is not a big mistake at all. Only thing is somebody might have made some money
out of it. We simply keep unsigned vouchers and take some money as we like.
This is not a fraud at all.
7.2.3.3 ‘Cash/bank payment
vouchers are not pre-numbered and the voucher numbers are made after a long
period, which can be easily identifiable based on the pen ink as well as the
order in which it is mentioned.’
Comments-
As we have told you we don’t believe in pre-numbering the vouchers. Then only
we can we can number them on a latter date. But don’t call this a fraud; you
will be cursed by God.
7.2.3.4 ‘We found many alterations and
corrections the manual cash book balance; for example on 31.03.2009 the
local cash book balance was checked, verified and signed by the accountant for
a cash balance of INR 3.30 lakhs and the same has been carry forwarded to the
next year books. But later there was additional entry in the books for INR 1.60
lakhs and balances in next year books corrected till 15.04.2009 and there after
the closing balance are written with pencil till the end of April 2009. We feet
that the said entries of INR 1.60 lakhs are made on later date. [annexure
2-samples of dated on which we found alternation/correction in daily closing
cash balanced in local cash book]’
Comment-
as per annexure 2 we have corrected the cash book only 90 times . Is it a big mistake? We will do
whatever we want. Who care about the corrections? After all what is a cash
book? We know only about a pass book and passport. You people are calling this
a fraud. As an administrative head I am not responsible for this. You know the
accountant has done it.
7.2.3.5 ‘The vouchers for the
above transactions are also not tagged along with regular vouchers and on our
enquiry, it was presented and found to be not matching with the vouchers
generated at the period and the supporting documents quality all seems to be
new.’
Comment- who told you to see all such things. Again I
am telling you this is not a big thing at all.
7.2.3.6 ‘We found that the
correction in the manual cash book on a later date is a regular practice, but
the books maintained before 2008-09 in manual system was very clear and without
alterations’.
Comments
– people who managed the system before 2008-2009 did not know any accounting
rules. I am so liberal and made my associates to enjoy during my tenure
7.2.3.10 ‘another major concern
is the cases of cash payments without the supporting documents. Many payments
are being released just on the basis of a payment voucher. Due to lack of
supporting document the verifiability is in question. The summary of such
transactions identified are as under’,

Comments-
payment of Rs 70.56 lakhs with out supporting voucher is done by the accountant.
Hence I am not responsible for this. Otherwise I will sell my properties and
compensate the amount. Un- fortunately the accountant is not having any
property to sell.
7.2.3.11 ‘it is also noted that the
balance as per manual cash book to not match with Tally cash book in many days.
A few examples are noted below. As per the explanations given by the accounts,
there are some mistakes in manual cash book which were rectified in the tally
accounts on a later period.’

Comment-
What is there in an opening balance and closing balance? The mistake is with the accountant. He has
not learned the Tally properly. Money has not gone anywhere. I am sure it was
there. I don’t have ‘silver and gold’.
7.2.3.12 ‘In the same model,
previous days cash book balance do not match with the next day’s opening
balance and the same has been rectified in the Tally cash book. Explanation
given for the above is also mistake from accountant for that period. As per the
closing balance and opening balance of the two days, we need to accept that
there was a mistake from accountant in manual accounts for ` 2.26 lakhs, as there
is supporting vouchers kept in the file’.

Comments-
after all we are all very honest who care about these findings?
7.2.3.13 ‘manual cash book entry
for the period 21.04.2010 to 02.05.2010 is missing and explanation given for
the same is again mistake form the accountant, but we found entries in the
tally accounts.’
Comments-
Why the auditor is harping about a book
which is missing. We can supply any number of books he wants.
7.5.5.3 ‘The same person
appointed as the site in charge for the YWEA project is the contractor for the
office building and there is no independent site in charge appointed for the
project. This is ma major deviation form the best practices’.
Comments-
this is not a big issue. We give contracts to our best friends who can help us.
If independent site in charge is posted he will be a nuisance to us.
7.5.5.4 ‘There is no cross
verification method for the goods accepted by the contractor on behalf of COG.
Site inventory accounting is also absent and it will be very difficult to track
loss/theft of materials from the site’.
Comment- what cross verification. We have informed you through our news letter
that every thing is OK here. You have to simply believe it.
7.5.5.5 ‘There are major
deviations from the approved drawings in the actual construction and council
approval notes are not received’.
Comments-
don’t you know that projects are goose which lays golden eggs. If deviations
are not allowed how can we survive?
7.5.5.6 ‘We are surprised to see
the electrical work of both YWEA project as well as new office complex project.
We found that the electric points given to an area is much higher that what is
required for. For example in YWEA project, in a small area, there is more than
5 fans are fitted and in the same way in single hall we found nearly 7 number
of fan points. This overdoing of electrical fittings followed in the new office
complex also’.
Comments
– ARAY BHAI don’t you know that it is ‘KATTILE THADI THEVERUDE AANA, VALIYADA
VALI’
7.5.5.7 ‘We found that in the new
office complex project many light points are not usable due to wrong position
of the same. This seems to be wrong planning in the electrical drawings’.
Comments-
we have not learned any drawings in our school days.
7.5.5.9 ‘missing of materials is
another area. There were purchase of 24 number of AC [Asbestos] sheets on
20.09.2011. We couldn’t find material while trying to identifying the item
physically. The explanation given to us that the sheet got damaged during this
short period’.
Comments-
a hurricane appeared in the last Big Move convention and smashed all the sheets.
7.5.5.10 ‘we found that running
bills of YWEA project were prepared by the site in charge himself and approved
for payment. We are not provided with the full set of running bills for the
YWEA project’.
Comments-
we certify that the site in charge is an honest chap, hence full set of running
bills are not at all required.
7.5.5.11 ‘for new office complex
project, the contractor himself certifies the project progress and we haven’t
found any other person cross checking the running bills’.
Comments-
the contractor is every thing to us. That is why we accepted his offer letter.
You can see that the auditor is silent about awarding the contact.
7.5.5.12 ‘it is also noted that
the contractor himself initiate the purchase materials from the different
suppliers and no quotation found except for purchase of cement and steel’
Comments-
the contractor is deeply committed to COG and its projects. That is why he is
arranging the materials form different suppliers by spending his time and
energy.
8.1 ‘After detailed audit of the
transactions happened over three years, we don’t have a feel of any major fraud
or misappropriation of money. We haven’t
come across with any concrete evidence to establish a suspicion of malafide
transactions’.
Comments-
GLORY! This is the reason why we have entrusted the audit to a cost accountant
instead of a statutory auditor [chartered accountant]. Even though he has
pointed out so many adverse things, we managed to get a certificate like this.
You know we got a clean chit from international CGI based on this comment.
8.2 ‘However the weakness of the
system and lack of proper system has created enough room for mistakes and loss
of money through different routs. The authorities who are vested with the
trusteeship should have exercised more diligence to keep the accounts and
records in a flaw less manner’.
Comments-
See the auditor is playing. In one place he says nothing is there, But here he
says loss of money is there through different roots. We can entrust the
investigation to CBI to find out how much money has gone and where it has gone.
