43 government schools of Jamnagar Nagar Primary Education Committee have not been audited for five years. Not only this, the income-expenditure of the Education Committee office has not been verified. The delay in the audit has raised many questions. The question of who is responsible has also been raised if irregularities are found in the accounts and the employees are retired due to non-audit for five-five years. At present 43 government schools are functioning under Jamnagar Nagar Primary Education Committee.

Every year this government school has to be audited. But surprisingly, since April-2018, audit of government schools of Nagar Primary Education Committee has not been done by Local Fund Office. Importantly, in this audit, the income-expenditure accounts including school contingency expenses, cleaning grant, LTC travel allowance, LTC cash voucher scheme for purchases of items made with LTC amount, admission festival expenses, medical kit expenses, duplicate LC fee income, donation amount. Included. Also, the audit of the government school along with the office has not been done for five years. The delay in the audit has raised many questions. On the other hand, the fact that the local fund office does not give the date or that the education committee is not interested in getting the audit done has also become a subject of investigation.

Irregularities were revealed in LTC, medkill bill and allowance

The local fund office gives the date of audit
Jamnagar Local Fund office gives audit date every year. Hence the school has to come to the office with the accounts on that date. Since 2018, 43 schools and offices of the Education Committee have not been audited. However, the Local Fund Office has not yet given the date and we have also not informed the Local Fund Office in writing. > Falguniben Patel, Ruler, Jamnagar
