Subject: AUDIT OF PRICE DIFFERENTIAL CLAIMS OF KESC FOR THE PERIOD 2009-10 to 2012.

Kindly refer to my letter No: 01/ AC-I/G. Corr/KESC/2013 dated: 30-09-2013 on the above subject. In this connection it is stated that I have started Audit of Price Differential Claims of KESC for the period of 2009-10 to 2012 w.e.f 23-09-2013. During my visit in office on 01-10-2013 I have been shown latest letters received from Auditor General of Pakistan wherein the requisite Audit period has been extended from 2004-05 to 201213. The record pertaining to the Price differential was called in Audit and was scrutinized carefully but it was observed that the subject audit requires relevant technical knowledge and expertise relating to various stages of generation, transmission and distribution of electric power. Due to lack of proper knowledge I am not in a position to conduct a meaningful Audit of particular area of price differential claims lodged by KESC. It is, therefore, requested that the competent authority may kindly be approached to assign the subject audit to the DG WAPDA Audit who also conducts similar type of audit of DISCOS. I have discussed the matter with your good self and you have very kindly agreed the proposal and directed to withdraw the party from KESC. I therefore, advised the members of the team to join their assignments. I have also joined my previous assignment. This is for your kind information please.

During audit the record pertaining to the Price differential for the years 2009-10 to 2011-12 was called in Audit. The KESC management provided audit team only copies of price differential claims lodged by them with Government, tariff determination by NEPRA and Government tariff allowed. However, Audit also called record of sales and other allied record discussed in tariff determination by NEPRA to scrutinize the authenticity of the basic data on the basis of which the price differential claim was lodged. The KESC management was reluctant to provide basic data/record. Audit in a meeting on 10-10-2013 with Director Accounts KESC, emphasized that scrutiny of such record is essential to check the authenticity of price differential claims. He asked the Audit to give the scope of Audit. Audit stated that all the record pertains/ linked to Price differential claims lodged by KESC with Government is required to be scrutinized to check the authenticity of claims. The Director Accounts stated that KESC provided all data and record to NEPRA and Ministry of water & Power and audit may verify record there. He refused to provide it to Audit Team on the plea that KESC is a private concern. However, he said that he will meet our D.G to finalize the matter till such time the matter is resolved, the Audit may be suspended and Audit party may not visit KESC in connection with audit of PDC. Keeping in view the refusal to provide the basic data, the Audit team collected the record and suspended the Audit. The situation was intimated to your good self on phone. This is for your information and further necessary instructions please.
