Un surrendered Imprests Imprest balances which have not been recovered or accounted for in the financial year they are issued. (PFMA 2012, section 71 has given Accounting Officers authority to levy interest on outstanding imprests at CBK rate.) PwC 4
Bank Reconciliation PFMA2012 Section 90(1) should be done by 10th of the subsequent month yet some entities have them outstanding months on end PwC 5
Outstanding Advances Salary advances outstanding for long periods doubtful about their recoverability due to poor record keeping which do not represent the true status of employees salary advances PwC 6
Unconfirmed Cash Balances Lack of harmonization between IFMIS cash balances and statement of assets, cash and bank balances. Board of survey balances, cash book balances and bank reconciliation do not agree with IFMIS cash balances. PwC
