(d) Although the purpose and use of the representation allowance  vote, available only in Mission accounts, is clearly defined in  General Orders there is still some confusion between this vote  and the official hospitality vote, resulting in the distortion of  expenditure totals between these 2 votes in the Missions.

Financial Instructions and Procedures require that expenditures  shall be allocated strictly in accordance with the provisions set  out in the Expenditure Estimates for accuracy of accounts  presentation.  71
