Memorandum to Receivers of Public Moneys.

The Treasury,
Wellington, 1st March, 1899.

WITH a view to the early completion of the Treasury accounts of the current financial year, ending on Friday, the 31st March, receivers are directed to prepare copies of their cash-books for a special period to end on Thursday, the 30th instant (the following day being a public holiday), and to transmit the same by post to the Receiver-General IMMEDIATELY after the close of the bank on that date. The account for the special period is to include all receipts after bank-hours on Saturday, the 25th March, and the whole of the subsequent transactions up to the time when the bank closes on Thursday, the 30th instant.

Officers who render four-weekly accounts will extend their account to Thursday, the 30th instant, so as to embrace all transactions from the closing of the bank on the 25th February to the 30th March.

If any bank receipts for moneys paid in on or before the 30th instant are received from sub-offices after copies of cash-books have been posted, receivers are directed to enter all such receipts in a supplementary account, and to transmit a copy thereof to the Receiver-General on the same day.

The first ordinary account for the new year shall be for the period from the 1st to the 8th April, both inclusive, and is only to contain such revenue as may have been paid to the Public Account subsequent to the 30th instant, or collected after bank-hours on that date.

The first four-weekly account shall be for the period from the 1st to the 22nd April, both inclusive.

Receivers are requested to take great care that the copies of their cash-books to be rendered during the current month are promptly posted.

The foregoing instructions are also to apply to deposits and law trust accounts.
