3. Key audit procedures Applied

The following auditing techniques were used to review the performance and efficiency of the entity:

• Inspection of documents, records and physical assets: This involved the examination of documents and records to confirm the value, existence

of items purchased, rights and obligations. Inspection of physical assets also confirms that the assets seen were in existence.

• Observation: This involved observing a procedure or process being performed. • Enquiry : This involved seeking information from client’s staff or external sources. • Recalculation: This consisted of checking the mathematical accuracy of documents or

records and can be performed through the use of Information Technology where appropriate.

• Re-performance: This was the auditor's independent execution of procedures or

controls that were originally performed as part of the entity's internal control. • Analytical procedures: Evaluated and compared financial and/or non-financial data for

plausible relationships. Also included the investigation of identified fluctuations and relationships that were inconsistent with other relevant information or deviated significantly from predicted amounts.

4. Executive Summary

• The entity does not have a code/policy on good corporate governance; • The Authority did not comply with certain areas of the MMA-ADA’s Act. • Policies and good practices were lacking in areas of asset management, inventory

management, fuel consumption, lease distribution, rental of premises, etc. see pages 9 to 27 for detailed findings.

• Human resource – No evaluation system was in place; thus, appointments may be

biased. Some positions were held without staff being qualified and/or experienced. Breaches of employment contract were noted.

• Income

o Leases were awarded for 25, 50 and 99 years with the latter being free in some instances. There was no documented reason why some 99 year leases were free and some were not.

o Rental agreements for buildings were not up to date and debt collection was being

managed inefficiently. • Expenditure

Many instances were noted where a tender process (for large payments) or a three quote system (for smaller payments) was not being utilised.

• Inventory

Internal control for the management of inventory was poor. Both quantities and valuation of inventory were misstated. Regular inventory counts and reconciliations were not being performed. See detailed findings on pages 14 to 16.

• Fixed assets

The assets register was not up to date. Instances were found where serial number, location of assets, assets numbers/labels were missing. Also, assets were being transferred between MMA-ADA and the Ministry of Agriculture and other Ministries without proper documents or correspondence being sent.

• Cash at Bank

o Management was unable to provide evidence of approval for opening two bank accounts at RBL: 736-770-9 and RBL 686-199-1

o Bank reconciliations were not done for the following bank accounts: RBL 736-770-9 and RBL 686-199-1.

• Income

There was a strong possibility that the Authority may be losing revenue because of under-valuations of rental property, minimal rent charges and not collecting fees in relation to drainage and irrigation services.

4. Executive Summary – cont’d

• Expenses The Authority operates a cash basis of accounting. All revenues collected were documented and banked subsequently.

• Contracts for the procurement of goods and services over one million dollars

($1,000,000) were not being approved by the Board of Directors or sent for tender board approval (Ministry of Finance). Contracts under one million dollars were not being awarded based on a three quote system of goods and services.

• Instances were noted where sole sourcing occurred (it is possible that better quality at

cheaper prices could have been obtained if contracts were advertised for tender). • Though budgets were being prepared, a detailed breakdown was not available and

instances were found where vehicles were purchased but no authorization was seen in the budget or minutes of the meeting of Board Members. For example, in 2012 four vehicles were purchased and in 2013 ten vehicles were purchased with no appropriate authorization seen.

• The MMA-ADA’s asset management needs improvement. Registers were not kept up

to date, assets were disposed of with no documented evidence, vehicles were crashed with no proper investigation being done or staff being penalized.

LETTER OF COMMENTS AND APPENDICES Findings/Implications/Recommendations/Management's Comments 1. Breach of employment contract

a. Some employees had as much as 294 days leave accumulated. However, this was in

breach of paragraph 5 of the employment contract, which states that staff leave would be forfeited if not taken. See Appendix 1.

Implication This was in breach of the employment contract. Recommendation Employees should be informed that their leave would be forfeited if not taken. Leave should not be accumulated.

b. There was an instance where employees were paid for leave not taken, however this provision was not included in his employment contract. This was noted in the 143rd board minutes. The names and designations of these individuals were not provided. Implication Payment in lieu adds to the Authority's financial burden and was also in breach of the employment contract. Recommendation This should not persist in the future.

c. In accordance with the employment contract, staff were required to state in writing their desire to continue in employment before their employment contract came to an end. No record of this was found in the personal files, nevertheless, their contracts were renewed. Implication This may result in staff not having a valid contract. Recommendation Employees should be informed that they should communicate in writing their willingness to continue employment.

d. An instance was found where no provision for gratuity was in the employment contract. However, the Authority paid gratuity to an individual. See Appendix 2. Implication This was in breach of the employment contract. Recommendation The amount paid should be recovered from the employee. Also, this should not persist in the future.

LETTER OF COMMENTS AND APPENDICES Findings/Implications/Recommendations/Management's Comments – Cont’d 1. Breach of employment contract – Cont'd

e. An instance was found where an employee applied for duty free allowance and a

house, however, these provisions were not in his employment contract. Also, there was no evidence that the Board of Directors had approved this. See Appendix 3. Implication This was in breach of the employment contract. Recommendation This should not persist in the future. Management's Comments: a. We accept. Systems would be put in place to avoid this in the future. b. The Board approved of leave for staff at a certain level to be paid for leave. This

was approved by the Board. See Board minutes attached. Management Appendix 1 (Page 83-84).

c. Accept. Staff will be informed of this Clause in their contract by means of a

memorandum. Non compliance would be dealt with as per contract.

Mr. N. Sears was on the fixed establishment and he retired at age 60. Management Appendix 2 (Page 85).

d. Gratuity was paid to him as part of retirement benefit, not through employment

contract. e. Mr. Kevin Cottoy is employed by the Ministry of Agriculture and is seconded to

MMA. (Contract to Government of Guyana). MMA is required to provide accommodation for him. Duty Free concession was not granted by MMA. Mr. Cottoy applied to his employer, the Ministry of Agriculture for Duty Free Concession. In his application he stated that he is the beneficiary of a Duty Free Concession dated May 2014. (We cannot say who granted the Duty Free Concession).

LETTER OF COMMENTS AND APPENDICES Findings/Implications/Recommendations/Management's Comments – Cont’d 2. Personal files

a. Many personal files did not contain integral information such as employment

contracts, approved increases in salaries, approval for promotions, etc. See Appendix 4. Implication This revealed severe deficiencies in the administrative and human resources function. Additionally, because of this, we were unable to ascertain whether the controls over hiring and promoting staff were operating effectively. Recommendation Employee files should be updated with these items.

b. The personal files for a number of employees who held key positions had no documented evidence showing their competence. See Appendix 5 Implication Due to this, we were unable to assess the competences of these employees in relation to their positions. Recommendation An evaluation of the employee's performance should be in his/her personal file.

c. A total of eight personal files were not provided for audit verification. Additionally, there was a file relating to an individual who was not on the staff list. See Appendix 6. Implication Unauthorised payments may be made to employees. Recommendation These files should be located. If no files are located, then files should be created. Management's Comments:

a. Accepted. Human Resource personnel was directed to ensure that all personal files are updated.

b. Accepted. The Board is currently looking at putting systems in place to

implement a staff evaluation exercise.

c. Files are in place for all employees and are available for the Auditor to check. Mr. Cottoy has been seconded by the Ministry of Agriculture. See Management Appendix 3 (Page 86-90).

LETTER OF COMMENTS AND APPENDICES Findings/Implications/Recommendations/Management's Comments – Cont’d 3. Organisation chart

Based upon the organization chart, the Authority did not hire a number of key personnel. See Appendix 7. Implication This may lead to understaffing in some departments. Recommendation The staff numbers and positions within departments should ideally match that of the organization chart.

Management's Comments:

Yes, for the period under review, 2012 January - 2015 May, the Authority was understaffed.

4. Mahaica Mahaicony Abary - Agricultural Development Authority (MMA-ADA) Act a. The Authority employed a fulltime executive chairman. However, this was in breach

of the MMA-ADA Act Second Schedule Subsection 1A which state that a chairman can be appointed but not an executive.

b. The MMA-ADA Act requires the appointment of an internal auditor (Section 5 Subsection 1H), but during the period of review an internal auditor was not employed by the Authority.

c. Annual financial statements were not prepared for the period under review and submitted to the Minister of Finance. This was a non-compliance with the MMA Act Section 31 (Accounting Procedures) Subsection 4 which specifies the submission of these financials.

d. During the period of review there was no Executive Committee to the Board of Directors. This was not in compliance with the MMA Act (Second Schedule) Section 4 - Executive Committee which requires an Executive Committee and monthly meetings.

e. The bank accounts used (RBL; 686-106-6, 763-770-6, 686-199-1) were not approved by the Minister of Finance. This was not in compliance with the MMA Act (Financial Structure, Water Charges & Accounting Procedures) Section 25 Subsection 2 which requires the prior approval of bank accounts used by the Authority to make deposits.

LETTER OF COMMENTS AND APPENDICES Findings/Implications/Recommendations/Management's Comments – Cont’d 4. Mahaica Mahaicony Abary - Agricultural Development Authority (MMA-ADA) Act

f. During the period under review there were no separate bank accounts for current expenditure and capital expenditure. This was not in compliance with the MMA Act (Financial Structure, Water Charges & Accounting Procedures) Section 27 - Accounts, which requires the Authority to have separate accounts for capital and current expenditure.

g. There was no system in place for tending, this was not in compliance with the MMA

Act Section 30 – Tendering and Force Account.

Implication

These were breaches of the MMA - ADA Act and also reflected adversely on the Board of Directors.

Recommendations

The Board of Directors should ensure compliance with the Act at all times.

Management's Comments:

a. This appointment was approved by the Minister of Agriculture. However, this ceased with effect from June 30, 2015, when the life of the previous Board ended. b. We acknowledge. However, an Auditor was employed from July 2015. c. We acknowledge that Annual Financial Statements were not sent to the Minister of Finance. However, we will put measures in place immediately to correct this. d. We acknowledge that there was not an Executive Committee in place during the period under review.

14

LETTER OF COMMENTS AND APPENDICES Findings/Implications/Recommendations/Management's Comments – Cont’d 5. General

There was no structured evaluation process in place to appoint potential employees and to make the process unbiased. For example, no evidence was found showing that applicants were rated for their qualification and/or experience and the best candidate given the job. Implication This may lead to the recruitment of staff who were not sufficiently competent for the job at hand. Recommendation There should be a formal documented evaluation system in relation to recruitment of employees.

Management's Comments:

Management accepts the recommendation and will be taking same to the Board for discussion and implementation.

6. INVENTORY

1. Obsolete stocks Included in the financial statements presented for the period 1 January 2012-31 May 2015 was an amount of G$11.053M, for obsolete stocks; however, upon further investigation it was revealed that these stock were not obsolete but were destroyed by fire in 2002. There was no report or documented evidence of this incident.

Implication The financial statements were misstated in relation to this amount as there was no expected future benefit that may be recovered for these assets.

Recommendation This amount should be written off.

Management's Comments:

The records giving details of the stock were destroyed by fire, not the stock. Most of the obsolete stocks are in a bond. We agreed with the recommendation that the amount should be written off.

6. INVENTORY – Cont’d

2. Stock count

a. Ledgers for fuel and lubricants were not updated regularly. Also, stock counts were not done on a regular basis.

Implication Any inconsistencies in relation to the movement and balances of these stock would not be identified promptly. Recommendation These ledgers should be updated daily, and reviewed by the appropriate staff. Also, stock counts should be conducted regularly. b. Based on a stock count done by TSD Lal & Co. on 23.09.2015, it was

observed that physical stocks and records were not in agreement. The reasons for these could not be ascertained. See Appendix 8.

Implication This indicated poor record keeping or loss of physical inventory. Recommendation These variances should be investigated and resolved. The process for recording and distributing of inventory to the various departments should be reviewed.

Management's Comments: a. While stock count was not done on a regular basis, the ledgers recording

purchases and issues were updated regularly. However, this was not done during the audit because the ledgers were in possession of the auditors. Steps will be taken to update ledgers on a daily basis.

b. We have commenced investigation of the variances and will submit a report to the Board with recommendations.

LETTER OF COMMENTS AND APPENDICES Findings/Implications/Recommendations/Management's Comments – Cont’d 6. INVENTORY – Cont’d

3. General

a. Inventory was not insured during the period.

Implication In the event of an unexpected risk occurring (e.g. fire and flood), the Authority would suffer losses. Recommendation The Authority should seek to have insurance coverage over their inventory.

b. Examination of Board Minutes and discussions with the current General

Manager revealed that spares for machinery and vehicles were stolen and may be the result of collusion between staff and external parties. Lists of the items can be seen in Appendix 32.

Implication This indicated poor security over the premises. Additionally, it cast doubts over the integrity of staff within the mechanical division. Recommendation There should be daily reconciliation of inventory balances to ledgers. Increased security may be needed for the compound.

c. There was no accurate updated record of the spares being held by the

Authority.

Implication Overall the management of spares may be inefficient. Recommendation The Authority should establish a system for the recording and management of spares with regular physical counts being conducted.

Management's Comments:

a. Agreed. Board approval was given to insure all assets commencing with

the Main Office. The other assets will be insured as funds become available.

b. Agreed. Management is currently in discussion with a Private Security

Firm. c. Physical check has commenced to reconcile variances between ledger and

actual stock.

17

LETTER OF COMMENTS AND APPENDICES Findings/Implications/Recommendations/Management's Comments – Cont’d 7. EXPENSES

a. Many payments were based on amounts requested by departmental heads. There were no invoices or quotations in support of such payments. Also, purchases were made at the discretion of departmental heads and may not have based on value for money principles (three quote system). See Appendix 9. Implication This may lead to items not being purchased in an economic manner and hence at the expense of the Authority. Recommendation The Authority should request quotations from various suppliers in order to ensure that supplies are procured in an economical way. Also, all payments should be supported by invoices.

b. A list or approved suppliers was not in place. Implication Absence of these controls would increase the probability of purchases not being made in the best interest of the Authority. Recommendation The Authority should establish an approved list of suppliers to procure items.

c. Instances were found when goods received notes were not prepared for items received

by the stores department. See Appendix 10. Implication This may lead to the incorrect amounts being posted to inventory. The amounts may be based on the invoice and the invoiced amounts may be different from that which was received. Recommendation Goods received notes should be prepared for all goods received.

d. An instance was noted where a payment voucher was not approved by the relevant

personnel (finance manager, admin manager or general manager). See Appendix 11 Implication This showed a breakdown of the approval system. Breaches of this may lead to payments being made that are not in the best interest of the Authority. Recommendation All payment vouchers should be approved by appropriate personnel.

LETTER OF COMMENTS AND APPENDICES Findings/Implications/Recommendations/Management's Comments – Cont’d 7. EXPENSES – Cont’d

e. A payment of G$3,000,000 was incurred by MMA - ADA to Mr. Adesh Rampratop for repairs to motor vehicle PRR 7716. It was noted that this vehicle was designated to the former Minister of Agriculture – Leslie Ramsammy. This vehicle was not part of the fixed assets register. Implication The Authority incurred expenses not belonging to it. Recommendation Only goods or services procured for the benefit of the authority should be paid for. Management's Comments: a. We accept and have implemented a three quotation system from July, 2015.

b. Agreed, steps would be taken to implement a list of approved suppliers.

c. Agreed. This recommendation will be implemented.

d. The payment voucher was approved by the Executive Chairman.

e. We are aware of a payment of $3.0M for the repair of vehicle PRR 7716 used by

the former Minister of Agriculture. This was approved by the Chairman of the Board.

8. INCOME

1. Rental of premises

a. The Authority did not update the files for tenants regularly. Also, instances were found where agreements were missing. Additionally, many agreements that expired were not renewed. See Appendix 12

Implication This may affect the Authority's claim to rental of these premises. Additionally, it indicated a breakdown of the system of internal controls. Recommendation For every premise rented, there must be a signed copy of the rental agreement in relation to the premise. Also, the agreement must be updated and filed securely.

LETTER OF COMMENTS AND APPENDICES Findings/Implications/Recommendations/Management's Comments – Cont’d 8. INCOME

1. Rental of premises – Cont’d

b. There were no pages in the rent ledger book related to several tenants. The

ledger book was the Authority's main method of recording rent receipts and rent outstanding from tenants. See Appendix 13

Implication This indicated a breakdown in relation to the rental of premises accounting and cast doubt over the receipts and receivables amounts in relation to rental of premises. Recommendation There should designated pages in relation to the rental of properties. Also, the pages must be updated regularly.

c. A substantial amount of rent was receivable (G$35m). An aged analysis was

not done; however, upon investigation many of the amounts were over one year. See Appendix 14.

Implication This indicated that the Authority may not be able to recover some of this rent and cast doubt on the ability of the entity to collect moneys from tenants. Recommendation The entity should take legal action to recover these amounts.

d. There was an instance where the tenant (V. Dalip) vacated the premises

without notifying the Authority and it was assumed that the tenant wished to maintain his tenancy.

Implication Due to the lack of communication, the tenant may be billed for rent when he was not actually occupying premises. As a result, it was uncertain whether rental payments will be received from the tenant.

Recommendation The Authority should ascertain whether premises were still occupied by the tenant. If it was not occupied, the entry for the rental income should be reversed. Legal action should be taken.

LETTER OF COMMENTS AND APPENDICES Findings/Implications/Recommendations/Management's Comments – Cont’d 8. INCOME

1. Rental of premises – Cont’d Management's Comments:

a. We note the comment and will take action to correct them.

b. We accept the recommendation and will take steps to ensure that the rent

agreements are updated.

c. Management has written the Attorney General requesting that legal action be taken against all defaulters save and except Government Agencies.

d. We do not agree to reverse the rental income since the tenant V. Dalip is still

in possession of the keys to the buildings rented.

9. FIXED ASSETS

a. Several laptops were given to employees, however those who retired/resigned did not return these assets. See Appendix 15.

Implication This indicated that there were poor controls over these assets.

Recommendation The Authority should seek to recover these assets. Also in the future, systems should be implemented to prevent this from recurring.

b. Several assets did not have unique serial numbers. Additionally, the location of several assets were not updated on the fixed assets register. See Appendix 16

Implication Physically verifying assets would be difficult and assets would be difficult to trace, making the area more prone to fraud or error.

Recommendation All assets should have unique serial numbers. Also, the fixed assets register should show the location of the assets.

c. At the time of the audit, instances were found where assets were on the register but

not physically seen. See Appendix 17.

Implication This indicated a misstatement of fixed assets and a breakdown of controls over fixed assets.

Recommendation The Authority should seek to locate these assets and clearly document their location.

d. Some assets were being cannibalised to repair others; however, there was no

documented evidence that this activity was authorized. Implication Parts from plant and machinery may be easily stolen.

Recommendation All cannibalisation of parts should be properly authorized by the Board of Directors. Also a record of this should be maintained.

e. Motor vehicle PSS 2052, assigned to Shilendra Singh (a mechanic) was crashed and

was extensively damaged. However, no report was forwarded to the Board of Directors and no disciplinary action was taken to date. No rectification had been done to the vehicle.

Implication

The Authority may have to bear the cost of replacing/repairing the vehicle.

Recommendation All assets should be properly safe-guarded and in the event of an accident a full investigation and follow up action be undertaken promptly.

f. Instances were found where Motor vehicles were given to staff and not assigned to departments.

Implication This may cause abuse of the Authority's vehicles. Also, this benefit was not provided for in employee’s employment contracts. Recommendation Employees should only be given a vehicle to use if it is provided for in their employment contract.

g. Contained in Appendix 24 is a list of motor vehicles not registered in the name of MMA - ADA, but in the name of the Ministry of Agriculture.

LETTER OF COMMENTS AND APPENDICES Findings/Implications/Recommendations/Management's Comments – Cont’d 9. FIXED ASSETS – Cont’d

Implication

Legally the vehicles do not belong to the Authority.

Recommendation

All assets purchased by the Authority should in the name of the Authority.

h. It was discovered that the Hydromet Office purchased and stored fuel valued at G$19,865,486 at MMA's locations. MMA utilized the fuel with no documented authorization and had reimbursed Hydromet with a vehicle (PRR 2131) costing G$8,060,580in full settlement of this expense. There was no approval of this transaction. It was noted that this was a one off incident.

Implication

Fuel may have been misappropriated.

Recommendation

Inter Authority transactions should have proper approval from relevant authority.

Management's Comments:

a. The two employees (Saul & Amernauth) who were given computers but retired will be written to requesting the return of the computers. Management will withhold pension to enforce compliance. b. The serial numbers for some of the assets were not recorded but the locations are stated in the fixed assets register. Management will now record the serial numbers. c. The computers stated are in the possession of staff. The chairs are in storage in

one of MMA-ADA's building and are available for the Auditors to verify at anytime convenient to them.

d. Agreed. In an effort to provide farmers with an efficient drainage and irrigation

service, this occurred. Recommendation is accepted. e. Acknowledged; the employee has submitted a report, on October 1, 2015. f. Vehicles were assigned to managers and senior staff to carry out their work. g. Acknowledged. Purchase was made in the Ministry of Agriculture to minimize

on cost. h. Recommendation accepted, verbal approval was given by the Minister of

Agriculture. However, the recommendation will be implemented in the future.

LETTER OF COMMENTS AND APPENDICES Findings/Implications/Recommendations/Management's Comments – Cont’d 10. LEASES

a. In relation to leases, there was a database of details of leases issued. There were several differences in relation to the details in the database and the lease agreements. See Appendix 18

Implication This would indicate that there were poor controls over the entering of information to the systems for leases.

Recommendation These differences should be corrected. All information input in the database should be reviewed by an appropriate level of management.

b. Leases were granted for different periods (25, 50 or 99 years), and for different rates

($1,000, $500 or $200 per acre per year). However, there was no documented basis on which these periods or prices were determined. Additionally, it was noted that some leases were given rent free, however, the reasons for this rent free lease distribution was unclear. Implication This showed that the system for the allocation of lease land may be flawed, as there was no basis for the allocation.

Recommendation The Authority should have a basis on which lease land would be granted so as to ensure consistency and fairness in the lease granting process.

c. The Authority could not have identified the latest receipts for several lessees, nor the amounts due in relation to these lessees. See Appendix 19

Implication This indicated poor systems in place for the collection of lease revenue. Additionally, it may lead to lease receivable being incorrectly stated.

Recommendation The Authority should develop a systematic approach to record lease receipts and lease receivables.

d. The authority was unable to obtain several lease agreements due to the fact that they

were destroyed by fire in 2002. See Appendix 20

Implication Due to this, the systems in relation to granting of leases, and collection on lease fees due was not tested. Recommendation The lease agreements should be reconstructed.

LETTER OF COMMENTS AND APPENDICES Findings/Implications/Recommendations/Management's Comments – Cont’d 10. LEASES – Cont’d

e. The process for filing and upkeep of lease applications was flawed as there were

several instances where application forms were not seen in the application file and information in relation to the contact of lessees was not available. See Appendix 21

Implication This may make the process of recovering debts difficult.

Recommendation The lessees should be requested to provide all necessary information. Management's Comments:

a. The information in the data base is incorrect. This has since been corrected. b. Prior to 2004 twenty-five (25) years lease were issued. After 2003, fifty (50) and

ninety-nine (99) years leases were issued. As it relates to the rent, a reduced charge is payable for riverain lands. This was approved by MMA Board. Rent free lease were issued at the behest of the President.

c. Action will be taken to update the Land Rent Register. d. All leases issued prior to May 2001 were destroyed by fire which gutted the Main

Office. We have managed to retrieved photo copies of some lease from lessees. These are available for the Auditors to verify at any time convenient to them. There is an ongoing exercise to have all copies re-filed.

e. Application forms by some lessees were destroyed by fire in 2001. Files were

reconstructed with documents presented to us by the Lessees.

11. Cash and Bank

During the period, the Authority had three bank accounts. For two of these accounts, bank reconciliations were not done (RBL 736-770-9 and RBL 686-199-1).Monthly reconciliations were done for the other (RBL; 686-106-6).

Implication This may lead to unauthorised transactions not being detected in relation to these

accounts, and also may lead to incorrect balances in the accounts. Recommendation Monthly bank reconciliations should be done for these bank accounts. These reconciliations should have reviewed and approved by the appropriate level of staff.

Management's Comment: The recommendation would be implemented forthwith.

LETTER OF COMMENTS AND APPENDICES Findings/Implications/Recommendations/Management's Comments – Cont’d

Fuel Consumption

a. Analysis of the fuel consumed for the period January 2012-May 2015 revealed the following (See Appendix 25 for detailed review by vehicle):

Particulars 2012 2013 2014 2015 Total

G$ G$ G$ G$ G$

Vehicles on MMA-ADA assets register 9,988,658 12,023,792 15,328,366 5,855,127 43,195,943

Vehicles not on MMA-ADA assets register 9,780,173 7,818,547 5,897,653 1,485,627 24,982,000

Total fuel consumed 19,768,831 19,842,339 21,226,019 7,340,754 68,177,943

Implication Funds may have been misappropriated and expenses overstated.

Recommendation

The Authority should only provide fuel to vehicles that have been approved by the Board of Directors.

b. It was difficult to establish if fuel consumed by MMA-ADA vehicles was for operational

activities. No log books were being kept. Also, requesting of fuel was not efficiently monitored.

Implication Fuel may be utilized for unauthorized use.

Recommendation The Authority should implement a log book system to record the purpose for which the vehicle was used. Also, each request for fuel should be approved by authorized persons.

Management's Comments: a. MMA paid the fuel bill for several vehicles owned by the Ministry of Agriculture. b. Except for the General Manager and divisional managers/senior staff who drive

themselves all other vehicles have log books. Request for fuel are approved by authorised persons.

26

LETTER OF COMMENTS AND APPENDICES Findings/Implications/Recommendations/Management's Comments – Cont’d Contracts administration a. There were no contracts for any recorded payments over $1,000,000 to external suppliers.

See Appendix 22 b. There was no system for public tendering or requesting quotes from suppliers for works

carried out for the Authority. These works were awarded on sole sourcing basis whereby a few suppliers were awarded large contracts. See Appendix 23

Implication This revealed the possibility of collusion and/or misappropriation of the Authority's funds. Additionally, it affects the Authority's ability to achieve value for money

Recommendation The guidelines for the procurement of goods and services should be followed.

Management's Comments:

a. Eighteen (18) of those payments were made to fortnight workers but were grouped. b. We accept the findings and recommendations were put in place effective July, 2015. Further comment: a. Please note that no comments were received for the other payments.
