    "content": "constituency. In most cases, the original documents on projects are with the project management committees (PMCs). The recommendation is that every fund manager must have a complete file for every project. That file should be in the FAM’s office. This is so that when the auditors get to the constituencies, they are able to give them all the documents that they need to do the audit. Most problems we found are that auditors do not get documents. When they go to the constituencies, they spend three days, five days and a week and later on, they leave their constituencies without doing their work. Another issue is that there is a missing link between the Office of the Auditor-General and the FAM. This is because when the Auditor-General comes up with a report or a certificate on a certain financial year, if you are doing the audits for the Year 2013/2014, you will find that, that fund manager did not even attempt to visit the Auditor-General’s Office in the region so that they can be cleared of the audit queries. Therefore, we advised that, that should be corrected. It is one of the recommendations on what should be done by the fund managers. As I conclude, the other issue is on bursary allocations. We saw that some of the cheques get stale. When some students move from one school to another, they get stale. That should be streamlined. It can be streamlined through use of electronic system to wire money to schools so that cheques which are sent to the schools and get stale go back. Some are sent, and the students are never aware whether they were sent to their schools. We, therefore, recommended that we can have electronic money transfers."
