§ Colonel IVOR PHILIPPSasked whether any decision has yet been come to regarding the audit of the accounts of the approved societies and of the insurance committees under the National Insurance Act; and, if so, whether the audit will be done by the Local Government Board district auditors or by professional auditors practising in the different districts?
Mr. MASTER MANSections 35 and 60 of the National Insurance Act require that the accounts of approved societies and those of Insurance Committees, respectively, should be audited by auditors appointed by the Treasury. The manner in which these auditors are to be appointed is being considered by an Interdepartmental Committee, under the chairmanship of the Comptroller and Auditor-General.
