"n The eligible amount reflects only the amount spent other than retention Money deductedby the Agency and the amount of claim is equivalent to the 54o/o of the eligible amount ofexpenditure.

2. The Agency presently maintained accounts in both Online Management, Monitoring andAccounting System (OMMAS) as well as manual system, where both ADB and MORDfund flow statements were recorded. The fund received by the agency as ADB Loansalong with the fund disbursed by MORD. There is no account wise segregation of fundsreceived from the MORD. So, the agency record the fund received as ADB Loans, whichis equivalent to the fund utilized by the agency.

It is advisable to the management to get the Loan wise statement of funds received fromthe MORD, so the financial statement shows the true & fair view of accounts.

3. The agency never recognized the Finance Charges & lnterest charges in their statementof accounts, as it is not known to them.

Our Audit Observations:

1' During the course of audit we observed that, presently the agency maintained accounts in bothonline Management, Monitoring and Accounting System (OMMAS) as well as manual system. Butas informed to us at present there is no provision given in OMMAS for preparation ofdisbursement sheet for calculation of total expenditure, eligible expenditure & amount claimed.hence these data's are prepared manually.

2. During the course of audit we observed that, the Agency usually gets the funds against ADBLoans along with the MORD contributions from MORD. So, there is no segregation of Loan wisefunds received from the ADB. They assume that the total amount claimed is equal to the fundreceived as MORD Loan.

3. During the course of audit we observed that, the agency never booked Finance Charges &lnterest Charges against the Loan No. -3306-lND. The management said that they will collect theinformation from the State Government or MORD, who will give proper information on this, sofrom the Financial Year 2018-19 onwards. The same may be charged to the cost of projects.

4' During the course of audit we found that most of the PIU's are not taking GST invoice fromcontractors.

5. During the course of audit we found that most of the PIU's are either not taking lnsurance papersor having incomplete insurance paper from contractors for many packages.

SOME SUGGESTION/ IMPROVEMENT NEEDED

It is advisable to the management to get the Loan wise fund received statement from the MORD,so the actual amount of fund received from the Loan No. 3306-lND booked in the books properly.

As it is maintained in OMMAS software, so it is advisable to develop the software so that thesoftware itself generate separate eligible amount of expenditure.
