Preface
Articles 169 and 170 of the constitution of the Islamic Republic of
Pakistan 1973 read with Sections 8 and 15 and other relevant provisions of the
Auditor General’s (Functions, Powers and Terms and Conditions of Service)
Ordinance 2001 require the Auditor General of Pakistan to conduct audit of the
expenditure from the Federal Consolidated Fund, Public Account and that of
Government Commercial Undertakings and of any Authority or Body established
by the Federation.

This report is based on audit of the accounts of Public Sector Enterprises


of Government of Pakistan for the year 2014-15. The Audit Report also contains
audit observations of the previous financial years. The Directorates General
Commercial Audit and Evaluation, Lahore and Karachi, conducted audit during
the period July 01, 2015 to November 15, 2015 on a test check basis, with a view
to report significant findings to the relevant stakeholders. The main body of the
Audit Report includes only the systemic issues and audit findings carrying value
of Rs 1 million or more. Relatively less significant issues have been listed in the
Annexure-I (MFDAC). The audit observations listed in the Annexure-I shall be
pursued with the relevant Principal Accounting Officers (PAOs) of the
Ministries/Divisions at Departmental Accounts Committee (DAC) level. In case
where the PAOs do not initiate appropriate action, the audit observations will be
brought to the notice of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) through the next
year’s Audit Report.

Most of the observations have been finalized in the light of directives of


the Departmental Accounts Committee (DAC) meetings.

The Audit Report is submitted to the President of Pakistan in pursuance of


Article 171 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan 1973, for
causing it to be laid before both Houses of Parliament (Majlis-e-Shoora).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Directorates General of Commercial Audit & Evaluation (DsG,


CA&E), (North and South) carry out audit and evaluation of Public Sector
Enterprises (PSEs) established/controlled by Federal Government which maintain
their accounts on commercial basis. Section 15 of the Auditor-General’s
(Functions, Powers and Terms and Conditions of Service) Ordinance, 2001
empowers the Auditor-General of Pakistan to conduct audit of companies and
corporations established in the public sector. For this, DsG, CA&E (North and
South) have a human resource of 224 officers and staff equivalent to 47,701 man-
days for audit.

Out of total man days 18,766 were allocated for undertaking field audit
activities and 28,935 were reserved for allied audit activities. The annual budget
of the Directorates General allocated for audit of Federal organizations for the
year 2014-15 amounted to Rs 203.632 million. This report contains results of
audit inspection and evaluation of financial performance of public sector entities
for the financial year 2014-15 conducted during the year 2015-16.

This report also contains comments on the annual audited accounts of 50


public sector enterprises (41 pertain to the financial year 2014-15 and 09 to
previous years). However, comments on 54 organizations (Annexure-2) could
not be included in this report as the concerned management failed to submit their
audited accounts by the prescribed date. 09 Organizations (Annexure-3) ceased
their operational activities during the years 1986 to 2008. These are still under the
process of liquidation/privatization.

a. Scope of Audit

There are 111 commercial entities of the Federal Government under the
jurisdiction of DsG, CA&E, (North and South). These entities operate under the
administrative control of 27 Principal Accounting Officers (PAOs). As per Audit
Plan 2015-16, the DsG, CA&E, (North and South) audited the accounts
pertaining to year 2014-15 of 35 Federal commercial entities. This report also
xiii
contains audit observations of 12 organizations which were audited during the
previous years.

Out of total budget of the entities for the financial year 2014-15, auditable
transactions under the jurisdiction of the DsG, CA&E, (North and South) valued
Rs 2,724,907 million covering 111 entities falling under 27 PAOs. The
Directorates General audited the expenditure and receipts of Rs 1,838,572 million
which in terms of percentage is 67.47% of auditable transactions including the
audit of receipts of Rs 1,014,720 million pertaining to these entities.

b. Recoveries at the instance of audit

Recovery of Rs 231,763.602 million was pointed out, whereas recovery of


Rs 20,404.863 million was effected.
c. Audit Methodology

Audit planning was carried out and permanent files of auditee


organizations were maintained and consulted / updated for audit of the accounts
for the year 2014-15. Desk audit helped the auditors in understanding the
systems, procedures, environments and the audited entity before starting field
activity. This greatly facilitated in the identification of high risk areas for audit
tests to be applied in the field. Audit was carried out on the basis of adequacy of
internal control system in the organization with specific emphasis on high value
items and inherent risk areas. Audit checks were applied keeping in view the
nature of transactions, current commercial accounting and best auditing practices
in Pakistan and relevant financial and operational manuals.

d. Audit Impact

Audit has contributed towards adding value to the control mechanism of


organizations where compliance was made on audit recommendations.

xiv
e. Comments on Internal Controls

Internal controls in any organization take the form of policies, procedures,


rules, regulations, monitoring mechanisms etc. These controls guard against
fraud, waste and inefficiency as well as ensure reliable and accurate operational
and financial information for intelligent decision making and prompt compliance
with institutional policies and applicable laws and regulations. Internal controls
are essential part of management’s efforts to achieve its objectives and goals.A
number of internal control weaknesses were seen during the audit of Public
Sector Enterprises, of which a few are illustrated below:

 Inventory Management

Inventory management was an area where certain organizations exhibited


loose control with respect to purchases, physical verification and record
keeping. Purchases were made without ascertaining the requirements thus
blocking capital, whereas obsolete inventories were not disposed of for years.

 Acquisition of Human Resources

It was noticed that the Public Sector Enterprises were not observing
regulations for acquisition of human resources while making fresh
appointments, re-employment of retired personnel or appointment of
consultants.

 Receivables/Debt Management

Receivables management in almost all the organizations required immediate


attention. Trade debts were not being collected within the stipulated period
and a rising trend in receivables was noticed in a large number of
organizations audited. This adversely affected the liquidity position. Further,
the policy of loan sanctioning in public sector financial institutions was quite
liberal which resulted in bad debts.

f. Recommendations

The executives (Principal Accounting Officers) need to take necessary


steps to evaluate and strengthen the management, budgeting and accounting
controls. Following are to be implemented by the management in particular:

i. Strengthen the preventive and detective internal controls to minimize the


chances of misappropriation / embezzlement in future. Ensure recovery
against misappropriation / embezzlement after proper inquiry and fixing
responsibility;
ii. Ensure compliance with PP Rules 2004 so that procurements in future are
made in a fair and transparent manner, the object of procurement brings
value for money to the entity and procurement process is efficient and
economical. Responsibility should be fixed against those responsible for
violation of PP Rules;
iii. Make efforts for early recovery of all outstanding receivables. Recover
overpayment after fixing responsibility and take remedial measures to
avoid repetition of such cases in future;
iv. Ensure implementation of recruitment policies / procedures to hire the
capable personnel and make the recruitment process transparent especially
through wide circulation;
v. Ensure maximum utilization of public funds to avoid its blockage and get
optimal value for money;
vi. Understand that rules are meant to be followed. All instances of
circumventing rules should be dealt with severely;
vii. Arrange timely submission of annual audited accounts to all stakeholders
and display these on their websites.
