CHAPTER II ACTIVITIES AND PROGRESS 2.1 Administrative Functions The administrative functions accomplished by the Commission in this fiscal year may be given as: 2.1.1 Administrative Activities within Organisational Structure With a view to manage its necessary physical infrastructures and facilities, the Commission has gradually developed the physical facilities in the sphere of general administration, financial administration, store, library, etc., etc. 2.1.2 Financial Administration In order to make the financial administration very effective, the Commission had prepared a financial regulation and sent it to His Majesty's Government for approval. As the government has not approved the regulation, the Commission is facing diverse constraints in this sphere. The budget of 5.5 million allocated to it was insufficient for distributing salary and allowances to the employees and for running the daily administration. Hence, it expects that the budget be increased in order to help it in undertaking the growing tasks effectively. Taking note of the impediments in the plans and programmes run under the assistance of donor agencies, the Commission is trying to prepare a regulation on integrated financial administration for implementing the programmes run under UNDP with the assistance of Capacity Development Plan. 2.1.3 Audit Report The accounts of the Commission in the fiscal year 2058/59, i.e., July 16, 2001 to July 16, 2002 has been audited by the Office of the Auditor General while the audit report of 2059/60, i.e., July 17, 2002 to July 16, 2003 is yet to be finalised by it. 2.1.4 Present Situation of the Commission's Office Building The Commission does not have a separate official building of its own. It is running its office in an old, narrow, dark and insufficient building, which created impediments in the carrying on of its functions effectively. Hence, it is trying to expand the office building and physical facilities by renovating it with the consent of City Development and Building Construction Department. 2.1.5 Management of Commodities The Commission has improved the physical facilities of its own to a certain extent. Despite such improvement, the physical facilities are to be expanded in proportion to the increasing number of staff. Likewise, necessary apparatus and transportation facilities should be provided to it for overcoming the constraints appearing in the monitoring of human rights violations. 5
