Para 7.2.33 — MSO (Audit)
Original Rule Text
7.2.33 An Abstract of Objections must be attached to each Objection Book. The previous year’s balance posted in the first column on the opening of the book will be the preliminary balance in the last year’s abstract as detailed in the list prescribed in paragraph 7.2.35. Later, this will be corrected in red ink into the March Final balance as worked out in the last year’s Objection Book and Abstract of Objections. The other entries in the first column will be made at the closing of each month. The adjustments of each month should be distributed over the periods of objection from the information in the Adjustment Register and posted in the proper line at the time of closing the book for the month.
- Review of Objections
What This Means
Every Objection Book must have an Abstract of Objections attached to it. The abstract tracks balances from the previous year, which are initially carried forward as preliminary figures and later corrected to the final March balance. Monthly adjustments are recorded by distributing them across the relevant objection periods using the Adjustment Register.

Practical Example
An audit section opens a new Objection Book for FY 2025-26. They copy the preliminary March balance from last year's abstract into the first column. Once the March Final accounts for 2024-25 are finalised, they correct that figure in red ink. Every month, the section officer closes the book and distributes that month's adjustments across the appropriate time periods.
