District Accounts Office 2.1

2Background: The Office of the Accountant General NWFP was

established on 1st April, 1929 as a small Pay & Accounts Office and was
responsible for Audit & Accounts of both Federal and Provincial
transactions in NWFP. Subsequently it was re-designated as Comptroller,
NWFP on 1st November 1931. It continued to function as such till July,
1973, when its status was raised to that of Accountant General because
of the tremendous increase in the scope of its activities and load of work.

2Apart from NWFP and its adjacent Tribal Agencies, the audit jurisdiction

of this office also covered Northern Areas (Gilgit & Baltistan).The audit of
Northern Areas was, however, transferred in 1974 to the Accountant
General Pakistan Revenues (AGPR) Islamabad. Similarly, in the case of
Frontier Irregular Corps (Scouts & Militia), the audit jurisdiction of this
office extended to Baluchistan. But on the formation of separate office of
the Inspector General, Frontier Corps of Quetta in 1974, the audit of the
Units in Baluchistan was transferred to the Comptroller, Baluchistan. On
the formation of one Unit, the audit of two adjacent Districts in Punjab,
Attock and Mianwali was transferred to this office from office of the
Accountant General, Punjab. Correspondingly, owing to centralization of
works audit in office of the Director, Works Audit, Lahore, the works
portion was transferred from this office. These arrangements were

reversed in 1970, owing to dismemberment of One Unit. During that period


the audit of ex-States of Dir, Swat and Chitral was also taken over by this
office due to merger of these States.

Departments under AG Peshawar The following departments works under accountant general Peshawar
Establishment and General Administration Department Judiciary Education Department Labor Commerce
and Industries Police Department Irrigation Department Excise Department. Works & Services Department
Environment Department Agriculture Department Health Department 2 Establishment of District Account
Office in KPK: The

2District Accounts Office scheme was introduced in KPK in 1970.

Initially it was experimented in one District i.e. Mardan. By now there are
24 Districts and 7 Agency Accounts Offices, in KPK and FATA respectively.
Till July, 1979, this office was responsible for the audit and accounts of
both Federal and Provincial transactions in the Province (including
Agencies). On the formation of the Sub-Office of the Accountant General
Pakistan Revenues, in July, 1979, the audit and accounts of the Federal
transactions were transferred to that office. 2.3 Separation of Audit and
Accounts: Office of the Accountant General, NWFP, till 30th June, 1989
was responsible for the local audit of accounts of the Provincial Govt
departments and its autonomous bodies and corporations and
performance of audit of projects etc. The audit reports too thereon were
being prepared by this office. The function of local audit of accounts was
however withdrawn from it and assigned to newly established office of
the Director General, Audit NWFP in July 1989. All the accounting
transactions both for the Federal as well as Provincial Govt were under the
administrative and functional control of the Auditor General of Pakistan.
The separation of Audit & Accounts departments were promulgated vide
Auditor General's ordinance 2001 and Controller Generals Ordinance
2001, since then the Accounts Departments were independently kept
under the newly created office of the Controller General of Accounts
(CGA). 2.4 Plan: Since the introduction of Devolution Plan on 14th August,

2001, it was a challenge for this office to respond to the needs within the
existing human and financial resources. This office delegated preparation
of accounts of 13 devolved departments at the District Accounts Office
level, as required under the Local Govt Ordinance 2001.

2.8 Accounting Accounting in a general sense, may be considered as a process in which the transaction of
an operating entity are documented, classified and recorded, for the purpose of accumulating and providing
financial information essential to the conduct of designated activities. This definition may be expanded to
include such features as system design, which involves the development of recording methods and
necessary internal central; the documentation and verification of financial transactions; the maintenance of
records and books of accounts (book keeping); the continuous testing of accuracy and propriety of the
records, and of the effectiveness of internal control (internal auditing), the periodic summary review of
transactions practices and procedures (external auditing). Another definition in some-what different words is
also there. Accounting may be defined as the composite activity of analyzing, recording, summarizing and
interpreting the financial transactions of any economic enterprise. Government accounting may be said to
comprise these same activities for a government entity that organized legislative, executive and judicial
machinery of the state, which by low governs and provides certain public services for citizens in established
geographical areas. 2.8.1Government Accounting Accounting is the language employed to communicate
the financial information, such information is sought for a variety of reasons, owners and perspective
owners of a business enterprise need to know about its financial status and its prospects for the future.
Bankers and suppliers appraise the financial soundness of business organization and weigh the risk involved
before making loans or granting credit. Government agencies are concerned with the financial activates of
business organizations for the purposes of taxation and regulation. Employees are also vitally interested in
the stability and profitability of the organization that employees them. The managers of business enterprises
need a wide range of data of every fact of operation much of which is made available through accounting.
The managers of small business may be thoroughly familiar with all operating and financial details and hence
need relatively little accounting information. As the size of a business unit increases, the manager becomes
farther and farther removed from direct contact with day-to-day operations. He must be supplied with timely
financial information about various aspects of the business. The growth of large business units and have the
importance of accounting in organization has given rise to the expression that accounting provides the eyes
and ears of management. In the modern world fresh needs, social or economic are emerging everyday.
Government tries their best to respond to these needs. With this aim in view, they have to assume new
functions and activities. This new trend is particularly noticeable in the developing countries. There the
government provides direct support in development and utilization of resources and sometimes even directly
participate in the production process in major sectors of economy. In such circumstances, a sound financial
base for planning, coordinating and carrying out various functions and activities is necessary. This, in turn,
necessitates the use of efficient and modern methods in accounting for those functions and activities.
Government accounting satisfies the needs of accountability and administrative control of funds. Those
responsible for the incurrence of expenditure have had to render proper accounts of their park ranger and
prove that the funds were spent in accordance with the authority under which they were provided by the
legislature. Not only that, accounting is today needed to provide that various kinds of financial data which
are essential for such purposes as planning, program analysis and selection budgeting, efficient
management and control of cost. In simple words government accounting is needed because of following
reasons. 2.8.2 Commercial Accounting V/S Government Accounting. The principles of commercial and
government accounting differ in certain vital points. The main aspects of contrast are those of functions,
principles, methods and purposes. The main function of a commercial concern is to trade i.e. to take part in
production, manufacturing or inter change of goods or commodities between different groups or individual
and thereby to make profit. On the other hand, the function of government is to govern a country and for the
discharge of that function to administer the several departments of its activities in the best possible way. As

far as the principles are concerned, a non government commercial concern deals preliminary with the
utilization of capital for the purpose of making profit and it is interested to see at intervals how it stands in
relation to its debtors and creditors whether it is gaining or losing, what are the sources of its gain a loss,
and whether it is solvent or insolvent. In order to obtain ready answer to these questions, the concern has to
keep a system of detailed account. In respect of each person dealt with, each class of asset held, each
article dealt in, it maintains a separate account so that the result of the transactions in each case may be
ascertained. On the other hand, the activities of a good Government in any country are determined by the
needs of the country. The main branches of its activities being known, it is a matter for decision what
expenditure will be necessary during any year in carrying out, these activities. After a decision has been
reached on these points, it becomes necessary to determine how to raise sufficient money to meet that
expenditure. The classification in the accounts of the transactions of the Federal and Provincial
Governments is determined firstly by the administrative classification of the activities and secondly by the
classification of the nature of the transactions. The accounting is, therefore, more elaborate than that
followed in commercial accounts. But the immediate objective of Government Accounts is not to ascertain
the gain or loss on the transactions of the Government as a whole in carrying out these activities. In the two
cases the methods utilized for preparing accounts also differs. It is the Generally Accepted Accounting
Practices (GAAP) in the commercial world to maintain account books by the Double Entry system, which in
based on the fact that is every transaction or financial change two parties or accounts are involved, one
giving and the other receiving. Under that system every transaction requires two entries in the books, one
against the party or account giving and the other against the party or account receiving. The mass of the
Government Accounts is kept by single entry. Single entry system means a system under which single effect
of financial transaction is recorded in book of accounts. For example when revenue3 is realized only receipt
entry is recorded and its corresponding effect is not exhibited. Similarly when a payment is made only the
entry concerning the payment is recorded. Non-Government commercial accounts are designed to show
how much money the concern can put in to the pockets of the proprietors consistently with the maintenance
of a profit earning standards of the concern. In contrast to this, Government Accounts are designed to
enable government to determine how little money it need take out of the pockets of the tax payers in order to
maintain its necessary activities at the proper standard of efficiency. 2.8.3 Need for Government Accounting
2.8.3.1 Legislative Requirement Overall control and release of funds is exercised by the legislature. All
financial matters in government are subject to consideration, approval and review by the legislature. The
extent and nature of this control by the legislature may vary among countries for a number of reasons and
may also differ according to the kind of activities involved. The fact, however, the executives propose
remains that plan of expenditure while these are reviewed, sometimes modified, and approved by the
legislature. The approved proposals are executed as an executive responsibility, and operation are in the
last process, subjected to a past review by the legislature. Executive authorities carry out the responsibility,
assigned to them with the funds made available to them by the legislature. These authorities posses no
intrinsic power for raising revenue or incurring expenditure. In financial matters, they exercise only the
delegated authority, which comes from the legislature, basic law or the construction of the country. 2.8.3.2
Accountability Requirement The government servants, entrusted with the performance of financial acts, of
the various rungs of the governmental setup, are accountable to the extent of their respective assignments.
In order to demonstrate this accountability some mechanism is required. And it is these accounts, which
prove the means of measurement of the extent to which that accountability has been fulfilled. 2 . 8 . 3 . 3 C o
n t r o l o f F u n d s R e q u i r e m e n t The preparations of complete and accurate accounts are also
needed as means to facilitate an adequate control on funds allocated for the several purposes. 2 . 8 . 3 . 4 I

n t e r n a t i o n a l R e q u i r e m e n t The maintenance of the correct, proper and complete and accurate in


all senses is required for the satisfaction of international bodies like the Internal Monetary Fund (IMF), Aid to
Pakistan consortium, Asian Development Bank (ADB) etc. 2 . 8 . 3 . 5 C o m p e t i t i o n R e q u i r e m e n t
Again in order to provide a sense of healthy competition in the efficient working amongst the several
departments of the government, the upkeep of accounts on correct lines, is essential. 2.8.4 Features of
accounting system of Pakistan: Accounting system of Pakistan has several features discussed as under.
2.8.4.1 Cash Book: Accounting system of Pakistan is based on actual receipts and payments of cash and
not on the basis of accruals of right and obligations. This book is maintained at District Accounts Office.
2.8.4.2 Single Entry System: Accounting transactions are recorded on single entry system. Now government
has developed its system to New Accounting Model and doing double entry system with help of computer
software SAP. Now accounting transactions are recording on double entry system. 2.8.5 Basic Accounting
Unit: DAOs of civil Government are the basic accounting units in Pakistan. These offices perform the dual
function of maintaining the accounts and auditing. Therefore DAOs are consisting of Audit staff under the
AGP (Auditor General of Pakistan) and Account staff under the Control of Finance Department of provincial
Government. 2.8.6 Closing the Accounts: Formally accounts of the Government of Pakistan are closed
annually or at the end of each financial year. But DAOs closed its accounts on half yearly and monthly basis
which helps the DAOs to constitute annually closing. Government financial year starts from 1st July and
ends on 30th June every year. 2.8.7 Compilation and Consolidation of Accounts: After the basic accounting
units have put together the figures of Expenditures and receipts etc. In different heads of accounts these are
sent to the accounts and audit department for compilation. After compilation of accounts these are sent to
executive government. 2.8.8 Centralization of Accounts: The government accounts of Pakistan are
centralized in the sense that while the receipts are made by the administrative departments. The need to
remove this anomaly has been felt and duty of maintaining the initial and intermediate accounts is being
entrusted to the department concerned. So far this process has been completed in respect of Defense,
Foreign affairs, Railways, Forest, National savings, Post office, Telephones and Telegraphs etc. Same
process prevails in other departments and is under review and study. 2.8.8 New Accounting Model NAM has
been adopted as the accounting model for Pakistan. Recording of commitments, fixed assets and certain
Assets and Liabilities are the aspects and features of NAM. 2.8.8.1 Commitments Recording of
commitments did not have an immediate impact on the cash position but do have effect on the budget
availability. 2.8.8.2 Fixed Assets NAM introduces recording of Fixed Assets which would help in effective
maintenance and monitoring. The availability of a list of Fixed Assets and their value would greatly help in
assigning responsibility for the care and maintenance of accounts. 2.8.8.3 Certain Assets & Liabilities The
recording of certain Assets and Liabilities as part of modified cash basis of accounting will help in providing
useful information for decision making and for disclosure in the financial statements. The difference should
be noted that using the cash basis of accounting or previous system of accounting helps in controlling the
cash against budget amounts and allows only the statement of receipts & payments to be generated. The
Modified Cash Basis of accounting or NAM on the other hand helps in controlling not only cash but also
commitments against budget allowing the production of statement of Assets and Liabilities and a cash flow
statement. Chapter: 3 Functions and procedure of District Accounts Office 3.1 Organizational chart 3.2
Function of district account office The district accounts offices in Pakistan are mini Accountant Generals
Offices in each district. These offices perform same function at district level as performed by the Accountant
Generals Office at provincial headquarter. The account of federal/provincial government are compiled at
district level and monthly account after consolidation is submitted to the accountant generals office at
provincial headquarter for merger in provincial account. Various functions of accounts office are categorized

Threats is called

1SWOT analysis. It is one of the most important steps in formulating

strategy using the organization mission.

The

3goal is to then develop good strategies and exploit opportunities &

strengths, naturalize threats and avoid weakness. 4. 3 .1 Strengths: ? Oldest


Institution: AG is one of the

old offices in the province working for a longer period of time in the Province. DAO Perform alternative
duties at the time needed. ? Alternative Duties: ? Employee Benefits: Employees of AG office are offered
reasonable monetary benefits i.e. Eid-ul-fitar and eid-ul azah allowances and sometimes extra salary for
any achievement done by the employee.

3This serves as additional benefits and competency for the source of

motivation for the employee. ? Broad network: It has

3broad network of branches throughout the province, also one office in

every district is there to serve the needs of government employees. The subscribers

3are provided services at their nearest possible place to confirm


subscribers satisfaction. ? Strictly followed rules and Regulations: The

employee of the AG office is strict follower of rules and regulation imposed by the AG. This enhances the
discipline of the office and results in better output. ? Healthy environment:

3Working condition in AG office branch here in Abbottabad is very conductive

and favorable for better output.

3Relation between staff and employees: Office enjoys a good plus point

when it come to the employee- officer relationship.

Strong interpersonal relationship exists among employees and their bosses which serve as motivation for
employees. 4.3.2 Weakness ?

3Under Political Pressure: The strong political hold of some parties and

Government and their dominance is affecting the Account office in negative


way. They have to

favor those individuals who have a strong back of any politician. This leads to uneven and hatred feeling in
the other employees of the office. ?

3Favoritism and nepotism: The promotion and allowances etc in office are often

powered by seniors favoritism or depends upon their wills and decisions


.This adds to negative factors, which dominate the employees thus
resulting in affecting their performance negatively. ? Lack of financial
product: The Accounts office falls far behind when the innovative new
schemes are considered. It has not been involved in the tug of war between
the competitors to the accounts and the strengthening of the existing
subscribers base. This stands out to be the major incompetence and

weakness of the

office. Moreover the office

3has deficiency to operate in the stages of rush hours.

? Lack of Modern Equipments: The Accounts office lacks the modern equipments.

3Even if there is any equipment they lack to fall in the criteria of being

rearmed as update and upgraded. ? Uneven work distribution: The work load
in the Accounts office is not evenly distributed and this work load tends to be
more on some employees while other run away from their responsibilities,
which serve as a demodulation factor for employees performance above

average

works. 4.3.3 Opportunities In any organization where there are weaknesses, opportunities also exist. They
are just needed to be explored for the betterment of the organization. ? Training and development
programmes; Office should arrange training programmes for its employees so that every individual inside the
office know about how the task is to be performed effectively. 4.6.4 Threats Threats can disturb the overall
performance of the organization so it depends upon the organization that how to handle those threats and
save the goodwill of the organization. Following threats are faced by District Accounts Office. ? Political
pressures by the elected Govt: The elected government may enforce the officers to take decisions
according to the governments wish and will thus restricting them in their autonomy. ? Downsizing:
Downsizing is a common but ill practice in almost all the government offices. Thus, here too, employees face
the threats of being downsized ? Subscribers complaints: Subscriber complaints is another threat to the
office, these complaints, may be due to mismanagement of the staff in performing the clients work or may be
due the delay in payments etc, they seriously impact the performance of the office. 4.4 Human Resource
Management Analysis: Following issues are needed to be properly addressed in regard to human resource.
?

3Need for better training program ? Developing managerial leadership ?

Transfer ? Marketing at desk ? Lack of business ? Communication.

4.5 Critical analysis: Critical analysis is mainly based on practical experience at the District Accounts Office.
? Subscribers satisfaction: In District Account Office, subscribers

1dealing is well, but during the rush hour, subscribers has to wait for a long

time for there turn, thus its quite hard for a new subscribers or potential
subscribers to get the required information . ? Poor Record Management and

Filing System: During the internship it has been observed that filing system
of office is not good when certain record is needed the staff has to
struggle to find it out and a lot of time is wasted.

1Unequal distribution of work: The work is not equally distributed among


the employees. On one hand some employee have to work all day without

relaxing while some other have nothing to do at all. This not only creates
confusion among employees but hurts their feelings and

25-Jun-14 6:14 PM

Turnitin Originality Report

15 of 18

https://www.turnitin.com/newreport_printview.asp?eq=0&eb=0&esm=-4...

disturbs the over all

1setup of the office. Above all it results in dissatisfaction among subscribers

as well.

4.6 Functional Analysis: ? Approach to higher officers: In District Accounts Office, an employee at low level
can not go straight away to the officer and

1ask him about the problem faced by him. He first has to talk to his

immediate superior and follow a proper channel of communication. ?


Difference between theory and practice: A vast difference exists between
written procedure and

the practical work done by the employees at the office. Not all of the rules are obeyed as they are quoted. ?

1Excessive paper work: It is noticed that due to the lengthy procedures of

paper work, the accounts office employees are over burdened. They are
unable to give proper attention to the clients and face difficulties in
getting their job done. One reason for lengthy procedures and excessive
paper work in the office is the lack of computerized technology

with every personnel. ? Delegation of Authority: The District comptroller of accounts has a limited authority.
For most of the decisions, he has to take approval from AG Office. 4.15

1Administrative Analysis ? Job analysis is not effective: On the basis of

job analysis it can be decided that how a right person could be hired,
trained, compensated or promoted. It is very important for an organization
to hire the

person according to the job specification. But here in district accounts office,

1most of the employees are simple graduate and do not have proper

background about their job. This creates problems both for the
organization and for the employees.

https://www.turnitin.com/newreport_printview.asp?eq=0&eb=0&esm=-4...

1Lack of specialized training: District accounts office does not provide

adequate facility of specialized training to their staff. Training is


generalized rather than specialized. As the worker finishes his training,
he is induced into a specific field without having great deal of knowledge
about the field.

1Poor job rotation: There is absence of job rotation in

District Accounts office Abbottabad.

1A person placed in one- departments remains their forever. It reduces

career opportunities as well boredom and in the end, results in career


plaguing. Job rotation is very important for employees especially for those
who are newly recruited .The newly recruit should be rotated in all
departments of the office in order to make them familiar with working of

different departments. So that when they get a responsible position, they


have know-how of the whole system.

Chapter: 5 Findings and Recommendations 5.1 Findings: ? Employee empowerment: During the internship, I
have observed that employees are not much empowered to take many of the decisions. They have to take
approval from higher authorities for any kind of proceedings. ? Strict bureaucratic control: Office structure
follows strict rules and regulations. They work upon set procedures and can exercise the power only in their
domain and that too even very little. ? Resistant to change: Employees only know their own seat work, they
know least about whats going on in the other departments of the office. They are trained to their routine
schedule and are resistant to change their procedures and work environment. ? Leg pulling; Leg pulling is
common in almost all the government offices. Everyone tries to plagiaries the work performed by other
person. 5.2 Recommendations and suggestions: ?

1Professional Training: DAO staff lacks the professionalism. They lack the

necessary training to do the job efficiently and properly. Although staff


colleges are there in all major cities but they are not performing well. For
this purpose these staff colleges should be recognized and their syllabus

25-Jun-14 6:14 PM

Turnitin Originality Report

17 of 18

https://www.turnitin.com/newreport_printview.asp?eq=0&eb=0&esm=-4...

should be made in such a way to help to the employee to understand the


ever changing global economic scenario. ? Delegate Authority: Employees of
the DAO should

3be given a task and authority and they should be asked for their

responsibility. ? Performance Appraisal: District Accounts Officer should


strictly monitor the performance of every staff member. And all of them
should be awarded according to their performance

because performance based appraisal bring in motivation and incite the employee to work more effectively.
? Transfer: Transfer is not properly carried out. Some employees are continually serving at the same post.
They are simply rotated at the same office. Therefore it is recommended that evenly rotation of every
employee should take place after every three years in different district. ? Flexible

1Policies: There should not be any abrupt policies by the upper

management, as this practice hurts the subscribers confidence in the

Accounts Office. ? Appoint

1Qualified Staff: Required qualified staff should be provided to the accounts


office in order to improve the functioning of the

office. ? Technology

1Advancement: I would like to suggest that at least all the Districts of the
Accounts offices should be fully computerized in order to expedite the

dealing process among the all ADO and their subscribers. Every

DAO and ADAO and all the employees must be familiar with the software being used in the office for the
accounting system.

1Daily records should be entered directly into these computers.

1It will not only reduce transaction time but will increase the accuracy

and efficiency. Moreover,

3it will be economical and will also reduce the extra burden of work at the

disposal of every employee.

3It will also help in reducing the use of excessive paper work. ? Even

distribution of Work: Proper work distribution leads to success in every


organization

and

1prevents the employees from over and under work situation. So for smooth
and efficient operations of the office, proper distribution of the work should be
there to

avoid burden over some employees. ? Inter Departmental Transfer: There are number of employees who are
serving

1one seat for many years. It can have a negative effect on the motivation of
employees who are hard working and intelligent. ? Handling of

subscribers complaints:

1There should be an information desk to provide the information and to

receive the complaints of the subscriber in the

office. Moreover a website should be maintained by the office through which it can handle the complaints as
every person can not go to the office. So it is suggested to

1management to install a Complaint box and recruit a special person for that

guidance of the subscriber when they are unable mange some difficulties in

office matter. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34
