It is also an imperative paramount that the assets be insured so as to mitigate the risks that may occur to these public assets. In this regard, I urge the Chief Executive Officers of the Public entities to exercise their stewardship role on the vested authorities over the public resources with high degree of efficiency and concern. The above mentioned important records on non current assets were found missing/not maintained by the following authorities: S/N Entity Anomalies Noted 1. TCRA Non current assets register is not properly maintained to show pertinent details regarding the historical cost, date of purchase, accumulated depreciation, net 2. PPRA book value and supplier for each of the reported assets. The valuation of non current assets is carried out annually by an independent valuer, for which the management relies to prepare the report for accounting purposes without a base for comparison The entity has not coded the assets contrary to the requirements of the Authority’s financial regulations. Non current assets are not insured. For instance none of the PPRA’s non current assets had an insurance cover by 30 June 2008. Non current assets inherited from the former central tender board had not formerly been transferred from the Ministry of Finance and Economic affairs to PPRA, with all necessary details and therefore are not included in the financial position of the Authority as at 30 June 2008. PPRA’s detailed list (register) of non current assets lacks key information on location, codes, accumulated depreciation and net book values ___________________________________________________________ Office of the Controller and Auditor General PA&oBs 2007/08 168

No periodic physical verification exercises are conducted to ascertain existence and conditions of the non current assets 3. DUWASA Non maintenance of a comprehensive current assets register that would give pertinent details regarding the historical cost, date of purchase, accumulated depreciation, net book value and suppliers for each of the reported assets. As at 30 June 2008, the Authority had fixed assets worth 17billion and inventories worth Shs. 1.7 billion without an insurance cover in September 2008 4. TBC No register for Non current assets is maintained by the corporation hence difficult to trace the records of the assets 5. CDA No insurance for non current assets hence highly exposed to risks No register for non current assets which implies the high exposure to risk of loss 6. IRUWASA No insurance for assets which implies risk of loss in case of occurrence of unforeseen 7. Mbeya UWSA contingencies No insurance for the assets worth Tshs 18,260,260,927 lack of which exposes the whole value to risk 8. TAFORI No insurance cover for all non current assets 9. NEMC No insurance cover for non current assets 10. TPA No record for assets of TPA Mwanza and those inherited from Marine services 11. LUWASA No register to record the assets as results key asset information can be obtained in a difficulty situation. 12. TSHTDA No insurance for assets other than motor vehicles/cycles, worth Tshs 1,552,405,906 13. DIT All assets are not insured except Motor vehicles, this shows that the management do not give weight to insurance to the assets owned. ___________________________________________________________ Office of the Controller and Auditor General PA&oBs 2007/08 169
