13. Incentive payment made without verifying work slip. Labour salary payments are made as per the FAP-payroll software. In fact, the figures are doubly tallied with the daily
and incentive report cannot be verified due to bills are not prepared output statement received from the depot. So, incentive entries are always made as per the figures of work
slip and each and every FAP entry is further verified before processing the month end procedure. Further,
properly that the Incentive reports are also to be signed alongwith the wage/incentive bill was unknown to the
operating division (for the reason mentioned at sl.9) nor was it sought/mentioned by the Accounts division
ever prior to the audit objection, due to which the Incentive reports were not signed earlier, though the
same was being approved in the notesheet and the bill invoices were signed on each of the occasions.
However, since the time of audit objection, all the reports and bills are being signed before making the
payment.
