Audit Committee

Transcript: BOGAWANTAWALA TEA ESTATES PLC AUDIT COMMITTEE - 26/03/2021 AUDIT'S COMPLETED FY 2020/21 AUDIT'S COMPLETED - FY 2020/21 Bogawana Surprise Audit Bogawana - Surprise Audit In order to verify the accuracy in mode of payment, I visited the pay table of Labour Wages for the month of February 2021 at Lynsted Division of Bogawan Estate on 10th March 2021. The individual payments were made to the workers by the Assistant Manager, where I observed a worker namely S Rajendran - EPF No. 9089 was collecting the balance wages of 44 Workers, amounting Rs. 305,840/- (Details are attached) When I questioned the Assistant Manager, he made me to understand this particular person used to collect other balance wages/Advances etc in the previous occasions too which will be distributed among the others workers concerned at the division itself. For furthermore, the Field Officer Mr. B. Susil Kumar also conformed same. I called this worker and questioned him why you are collecting others wages at this juncture. He replied that he was doing this for a long time and I am getting Rs. 100/- as a service charges from a worker per year (Rs. 8.33 per month). This attitude of this person S Rajendran - EPF No. 9089 is in high risk of his life. The management should have discontinued this practice of collecting colossal amount of other workers’ wages by an individual at the pay table. It would be advisable if the individual worker not in favor of collecting their balance wages/advance etc at the pay table, with their written consent such amount could be deposited at their bank accounts. In this regard, I have discussed this matter with Mr. Nalinda de Alwis, Deputy General Manager of Bogawana Estate. Bogawantalawa Surprise Audit Bogawantalawa Estate - Surprise Audit 1. General Stores – Connected books and records pertaining to the stock transaction for two months (January & February 2021). It was in order. 2. In addition, it was noted that any divisional stock at the month end had been returned to the store keeper without any official channel. It would be advisable, any items returned from the divisions should be taken into GRB and a GRN to be issued accordingly as a proof of acknowledgement. 3. However, there is no permanent storekeeper but an assistant factory officer namely Mr.R. Illankumaran temporarily attending the storekeeping. 4. Fertilizer samples – it was noted that very old ferilizer samples drawn for analytical report are lying in the stores for a considerable period. Since these samples are not relevant to any juncture, could be cleared. 5. Chemical Glyphosate – in order to ascertain the accuracy of issues, all the relevant books and records were checked for two months and observed, the issues were correctly monitored. 6. Refuse Tea Room – The roof is leaking and there is no proper celling also, noted a few junk items are kept inside the refuse tea room and as well as refuse tea had been packed in fertilizer bags which are violation of tea board instruction. To avoid any lapses, this should be attended immediately. 7. Field Diary - We were unable to ascertain the required information such as divisional stock balances, weeding rounds, utilization of chemical, Blister Blight Rounds etc not made available in the field diary. It would be advisable a printed book to be introduced for this exercise w.e.f April 2021 as these are key information. Continues.... Bogawantalawa Continuation Bogawantalawa Estate - Surprise Audit Continues.... 8. Checklist & Checkrolls – a. Whilst cross checking the names in the registered workers pocket checkrolls and cash workers pocket checkrolls for three months (i.e Janaury, February & March 2021) where I observed identical names are appearing in both checkrolls. b. In order to check the accuracy of the two names transaction, along with the Assistant Manager, Mr. N. Dilan I went to Tientsin Division to inquiry from the respective workers. c. Firstly we summoned EPF No 1207 – Thiruselvam (Assistant Manager’s Bungalow Watcher) and questioned him whether you worked on a day for two names? He replied that he was working as a Bungalow Watcher from 6.00p.m to 6.00a.m and thereafter I am looking after my cattle. d. I asked him whether you were working on cash name for the month of January and February 2021? He denied. Then I asked him how you were given names under cash work as worked? He replied no, I am not working but names are given to me which will be paid to another worker namely EPF No. 8372 Vasudevan as advised. e. Again I questioned the Field Officer, Mr. T. Mathivannan to clarify this. He totally denied and said this cash name was given by the factory staff. f. For further clarification, we went to the Tientsin Factory and questioned the factory staff Mr. M. Sri Ram and he replied that EPF no. 8372 Vasudevan is a field cash worker. Once he finished morning work in the field, he comes to the factory for work whenever necessary, since he is a cash worker, it will not possible for me to give additional name
