Nat’l Parks Commission flagged for using pencil and paper accounting system
The Audit Office of Guyana is not pleased that in the age of technological advancements, the National Parks Commission incorporates pencil and paper into its accounting system.
The Audit Office flagged this practice as inappropriate during its audit of the 2008 financial statements of the Commission. The financial statements were recently tabled in the National Assembly.
During its assessment, the Audit Office observed that the relevant records such as cashbook and general ledger were not properly maintained and balances were written in pencil.
The audit office said that this is unacceptable since the balances can be easily erased and figures altered. It called on the Commission to desist from such practices in record keeping.
The Commission subsequently said it accepted the findings and assured that corrective actions will be taken immediately.
