§ 58. Brigadier - General CLIFTON BROWNasked the Secretary of State for War what amount would be saved to Army funds if the system of cost accounting in the Army was abolished?
§ The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the WAR OFFICE (Captain Douglas King)The scheme of Army cost accounting hitherto in force would in a normal year, allowing for pension charges, involve an expenditure of some £300,000; the scheme now contemplated is estimated to cost in a normal year well under £100,000.
§ Mr. HARMSWORTHHow were the audits carried on in 1914, and was it by independent accounting or by costing system?
§ Captain KINGThe system was brought in at the end of the War, not in 1914.
