(1) Transaction voucher

Where demand exceeded supply, private education voucher recipients were selected by lottery.

As a result, UNOPS no longer uses the inter office voucher account.

An example is a voucher scheme for ITNs which is being tested in the United Republic of Tanzania.

Yet an analysis of Chile s voucher program found no positive effect on students test scores or years in school.

The inter office voucher account was used for the imprest account transactions effected by UNDP on behalf of UNOPS.

The republic boasts a flourishing consumer production sector and has privatized most state owned heavy industries through the voucher privatization system.

Educational voucher programs, for example, took a knock when careful analysis of a Chilean program found no positive effect on students performance.

The Board confirmed that UNOPS had not reconciled the imprest, inter office voucher and inter fund accounts for the biennium 2002 2003.

Upon completion of this process, the Administration will assess whether additional changes to the journal voucher user session will be required to better facilitate postings.

Each voucher cost the Colombian government 24 a year more than its previous education spending per student, but the vouchers increased attendance rates and test scores.

In its report on the biennium 2002 2003, the Board noted that no supporting documentation had been provided for the inter office voucher clearing account credit balance.

Further comment by the Administration. The supporting documents for the UNDP inter office voucher accounts were located at its Asia office and were not being transferred to New York.

Comment by the Administration. The Administration will review the functionality of the journal voucher session with respect to completeness of the required elements for coding of income and expense transactions, and consider enhancements.

The Board is, therefore, not in a position to validate whether the opening balances in Atlas are valid, accurate and complete as no validation could be performed on the inter office voucher account.

In paragraph 135 of the report, the Administration agreed with the Board's recommendation that it consider enhancing the journal voucher session when the automation of the closure process was completed and placed in production.

At the bottom of the list, the expert panel gave very low rankings to the idea of restricting alcohol sales (as a proposed solution to health problems), educational voucher programs, and prison drug treatment and reintegration programs.

Yet an analysis of Chile s voucher program found no positive effect on students test scores or years in school. Instead, the program s main effect seems to have been to encourage the best students in public schools to switch to private schools.
