Report
on the audit of the accounts of the Israeli Hospitals Committee in Baghdad
for the fiscal year 1948 / 1949
by the auditor Mr. Shlomo Sweig

Archival unit 364

His Excellency the President of the Lay Council, Respected
Baghdad
Subject - Report on the audit of the accounts of the Israeli Hospitals Committee
in Baghdad for the fiscal year 1948/1949
With reference to your letter No. 307 dated 17 / 6 / 1949.
I have audited the accounts of Meir Elias Hospital, Rima Khedouri Hospital, and Dar Al-Shifa Dispensary for the
fiscal year 48/949 and I list below the audit results.
Meir Elias Hospital
1 - Opening Balances on 1 / 4 / 1948
I have verified the consistency of the balances in the balance sheet as of 31 / 3 / 1948 as stated in
the audit report for the fiscal year 1947 / 1948.
Expenditures
2 - Salaries and Cost of Living
I have conducted a thorough audit of the salary accounts, especially regarding doctors, nurses, and administrative
staff, and I have verified the correctness of the current transactions in accordance with the committee's decisions and the Lay Council's approvals regarding
appointments and promotions according to Article (17) of the applicable Israeli Hospitals Management Regulations, except it was noted
that an amount of five dinars was paid to each of Zaki Ibrahim, Munshi Yusuf, and Hamid Mahdi as a
half-salary grant, similar to the hospital's officials and employees. Since these individuals receive their salaries from the revenues of the
X-ray operation and are not included in the hospital's staff establishment, they are not covered by the Lay Council's letter regarding
granting a half-salary grant to the community's officials and employees. Furthermore, I have not seen a specific decision from the committee regarding
granting them the mentioned grant.
3 - Daily Marketing Lists - Provisions
Provisions are still being purchased through the trust method by a specific official for that purpose. I have conducted a relative audit of
the daily marketing lists and verified their consistency with the requisition lists. I also verified the price breakdowns and vouchers
of those lists selected for auditing, and the result was satisfactory. However, the requisition lists are usually based on the lists submitted
by the ward heads with the number of patients present in each ward, and provisions are requested and supplied according to
these lists. I think it is advisable to classify patients into three grades in terms of food, as is the case in other
hospitals. First grade (Full diet), Second grade (Medium diet), Third grade
(Light diet, i.e., liquids only). The attending physician must indicate on the patient's chart daily the food grade
that the patient should consume. I believe if this is applied, the expenditures will be less than they are now by a degree.

and the inspection, and the Physical Council was informed about it by its letter No. 701 dated 14 / 8 / 1949 regarding
its integration with the adjacent properties. As for the amount for the expropriation of the Khalidiya properties mentioned in
the audit report for the year 47 / 1948, it was actually collected on 10 / 8 / 1949 and was considered a claim
on the Physical Council for a period of six months.
7 - Guarantee of roses, myrtle, dates, and buckthorn
I have confirmed the existence of contracts for the guarantee of these crops and the recording of the realized portion as final revenue
and the carryover of the remainder to the account of the 49 / 1950 fiscal year according to the guarantee period.
8 - Revenues of the Rifqa Nurail Endowments
I have not seen the details of the revenues and expenditures for these endowments except for the signed letter
by the trustee showing the hospital's share of the net revenues for the year 48 / 1949 as recorded below.
The trustee added his statement at the end of his letter (that it is difficult to provide details of the expenses spent on these
properties in a detailed and individual manner for each property separately).

9 - I have compared all the receipt vouchers issued during the 1948/49 financial year with the cash book, and it appeared
that they were recorded correctly except for receipt No. 3679 dated 1948/7/11. Under this
receipt, 500 fils were recorded from Maryam Yehuda for Dr. Tokar's examination, but it was recorded in the cash book as one
dinar, i.e., an increase of 500 fils. Since the doctor's revenue from examination fees is 50%, an excess of
250 fils was recorded for her entitlement.
10 - Patients' Fees
a - I conducted a proportional audit of the fees of patients who entered the hospital during the 1948/49 financial
year against the relevant cards, and the result of the audit was very satisfactory, except for some amounts pending against patients
who left the hospital, totaling 244/799 dinars on 1949/3/31. A portion of them has been written off
according to the committee's decision, and the rest remain pending until now as detailed below, and the hospital management is serious
in the matter of their collection.

And here I would like to point out that the chart of the aforementioned person indicated when the operation was performed that he entered on
21 / 4 / 1948 and was discharged on 7 / 5 / 1948 according to the doctor's notation, however the ward register
states that he was discharged from the hospital on 2 / 5 / 1948 and the ward fees were collected on this
basis, i.e., with a deficit of five days.
Then the aforementioned person returned for a cataract operation and entered the hospital on 1 / 6 / 1948 and was discharged on
22 / 6 / 1948 and the full operation fees were collected, however he returned and entered the hospital on 29 / 8 / 48
and was discharged on 7 / 9 / 1948 and nothing was collected from him, neither for the operation fees nor the ward fees.
2 - Taha Jassim. Entered the hospital 3 / 8 / 1948 and was discharged 11 / 8 / 1948 and it was recorded next to his name as free
because it was a corrective operation and nothing was collected from him. Upon follow-up, it was found that the operation performed for the aforementioned
person was on 7 / 9 / 1947, i.e., approximately a year ago.
C - The tariff for operation fees approved by the Hospitals Committee was in two grades, first and second, and it
was noted that the operation fees collected in some instances by the hospital were not based on
the tariff, but rather the fee ranged between the two grades mentioned above.
4 - General observations regarding the ward and operations registers
A - Ward Register
1 - It was not indicated in the ward register next to the patient's name whether he was accompanied by an escort or alone.
2 - The number and date of the bank certificate were not recorded next to the name of the patient admitted for free or at a reduced fee.
3 - The date of the patient's transfer from one grade to another was not mentioned next to the patient's name.
B - Operations Register
1 - The grade of the operation was not recorded next to the patient's name.
2 - It was not mentioned in them whether the operation was for a fee or for free.
These two registers have currently been organized according to the regulations, under the guidance of the auditor Mr. Saleh
Cohen, on the occasion of his auditing the accounts for the 49 / 950 fiscal year.
Dar Al-Shifa Dispensary
The management of Dar Al-Shifa Dispensary follows the same rule followed by Rima Khedouri Hospital regarding the submission of
its accounts to Meir Elias Hospital. All lists submitted during the 48 / 949 fiscal year have been audited against
the dispensary's registers, and the audit resulted in the following findings:-
1 - Expenses not supported by documents
Dinar | Fils
| 335 Expense during the month of April 1948, dispensary electricity fees

3 - Mr. Ezra Menashi did not sign for all the salaries recorded as expenses against him in the expense register throughout the
financial year 1948 / 49.
Re⟦line⟧venues
4 - Due to the large number of receipts issued during the year 1948 / 1949 and the smallness of the amounts received under them, which
range between ten fils and fifty fils, I conducted a proportional audit by selecting ten days from each
month of the mentioned year, and their recording appeared correctly in the revenue register.
