Railway Tickets as evidence

Others 1635 views 8 replies

 Hello Friends,

During Vouching in an internal audit I observed that, Railway Tickets are attached as evidence for Traveling expenses.

I heard regarding railway tickets attached as voucher for traveling expenses is against the Indian Railways Act.

As per Indian Railways Act, after completion of our journey we have to submit railway ticket to the ticket collector.

Just ignore, whether we are practically complying with provisions or not.

Please clarify my doubt, whether any provisions with respect to my query laid down in Indian Railways Act or any Auditing Standards.

With Best Regards,

Your query related to the internal audit,Your first concerned is to comply the rules frameworks of your appointing authorities,For Ex: If U are Vouching for University records,Your concerned about eligibility of claimant for travelling expenses, and class for which claimant entitle,further to arithmatic accuracy of claim, claim authorised by authorities of the university?Your tasks is over at that point of time is my opinion, if you want more clariffications,put down you query further.
