The Third Series of the 2013 Auditor-General's Report relating to the Department of Orang Asli Development (Jakoa) did not reveal any misconduct from personal interest, except for a few drawbacks involving aspects of management, understanding of procedures and financial policies.
Jakoa in a statement said they would make the necessary improvement to ensure similar errors would not recur.
"Jakoa has also reviewed all issues raised under the audit on Financial Management based on Accountability Index (IA) and Performance Audit by the Internal Audit Unit (UAD) from 2013 to 2015," the statement said.
On the audit report, Jakoa said the house-to-house installation of water metres under the Treated Water Supply Project worth RM315,860, weakness found was due to poor planning and was not a wastage issue.
"The installation of metres was to determine the number of individual water consumption apart from encouraging the Orang Asli community to conserve and use water wisely and the charges imposed were meant to cover the cost of the BAT system's maintenance," according to the statement.
