The Inspector-General shall forward a copy of the report to the Accountant-General and to Government. When the matter has been fully investigated, a further and complete report shall be submitted as to the nature and extent of the loss showing the errors or neglect of rules by which such loss was rendered possible and the prospects of effecting a recovery. The submission of such report does not debar the local authorities from taking any further action which may be deemed necessary.
