moneys shall be paid into the bank on the same day or if this is not possible, at earliest possible opportunity. A review of cash collections and banking procedures in Public Authorities revealed circumstances where cash collections are not timely deposited into bank for un-explained reasons as illustrated here under: (i) Tanzania Broadcasting Corporation Audit conducted to the cashier’s office observed that Cash collection is not deposited within stipulated time in the Corporation’s financial regulation. The manual requires all receipts to be banked intact preferably the same working day or the next working day. However, audit noted instances whereby the cashier remained with cash collections for about 45 days without being deposited. In such situations cash collections are exposed to high risk of theft or loss. (ii) Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority The audit of financial statements of Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority (TCAA) and especially at up-country stations we noted that cash is received at different stations by a clerk/accountant who is also responsible for recording the cash received. The same person prepares daily cash report which could not be ascertained if they are not reviewed by independent personnel to ensure completeness and correctness. Further review noted that cash collections in some of the stations are held in hand for unreasonable period of up to one month before being deposited. This is against the Authority’s policy which requires the Civil Aviation managers to deposit the respective collections immediately when received. Lack of a proper cash management system can lead to fraud in relation to the cash held at the premises and less optimal cash management results. ___________________________________________________________ Office of the Controller and Auditor General PA&oBs 2007/08 86
(iii) Tanzania Engineering and Mechanical Development Organization Cash collections at TEMDO were not banked promptly and intact, instead collections were used to meet day to day expenses, thereby resulting into under-banking as follows: Date Receipt No. Receipt Amount TZS Amount Banked TZS Difference/ Not Banked TZS 15.08.2007 12365 302,200 252,000 50,200 09.10.2007 12391 24,000 2,000 22,000 29.10.2008 12509 900,000 606,566 293,434 TOTAL 1,226,200 860,566 365,634 I urge the management of TEMDO to ensure that cash collections are banked promptly and intact. 4.3 Specific Observation 4.3.1 Tanzania Broadcasting Corporation (TBC) Lack of accuracy and completeness of revenue data Generally, the Marketing Department of TBC does not maintain a complete record of all Broadcasting Commercial Orders (BCOs). For instance the department did not prepare a detailed list of all BCOs that were raised during the financial year 2007/2008 on a monthly basis. We further noted a difference of Shs 2,217,323,619 between revenue summary from Marketing Department and the summary total of invoices issued to customers by the Accounting Department. See table 1 below. There was no clear explanation from management for the difference between the two sets of reports. ___________________________________________________________ Office of the Controller and Auditor General PA&oBs 2007/08 87
