Papuan Financial Regulations.

 

(Statutory Rules, 1923, No. 74, as amended to this date.)

 

The Papuan Financial Regulations are amended by deleting Regulation 99 and inserting in its stead the following regulation:—

“99. (a) Officers responsible for the care and control of nonexpendable articles shall keep a record of the same in such form as the Treasurer may prescribe.

(b) Every such officer shall at such time or times and in such form as the Treasurer may prescribe but not less than once in each year furnish a return of such articles to the Head of his Department.

(c) Officers responsible for the care and control of expendable articles only shall keep records of the same and furnish returns, when the Lieutenant-Governor so directs.

(d)Every officer (and his subordinates) to whom any articles are entrusted shall use every care for their safe custody and preservation and may be held personally and pecuniarily responsible in respect of the same.

(e) Whenever any officer takes over from an officer responsible for the care and control of articles stock shall be taken by the outgoing officer and checked by the incoming officer both such officers signing an inventory (in such form as the Treasurer may prescribe) which shall be forwarded to the Head of the Department as soon as practicable; each of the said officers is to retain one copy of the said inventory.

 

(f) Should the outgoing officer leave before the incoming officer has taken over, the prescribed inventory shall be taken and sent to the Head of the Department certified by the outgoing officer only. The incoming officer shall upon taking over take an inventory and send it certified under his hand to the Head of the Department.

(g)If either the outgoing officer or the incoming officer fails to take the prescribed inventory such prescribed inventory as taken shall be taken to be correct and the value of any missing articles may be surcharged against the salary of the officer who failed to take the prescribed inventory.”
